[Chevelle-list] removing filler neck from gas tank

[Bob Haggard]

My first thought would be that you could cut the filler neck with a hacksaw and use a rubber hose to reinstall it if you can't get the tail pipes out of the way.  Some metal filings will be left in the tank that may be hard to remove though.

There is no rubber connecting piece or any type of clamp holding it on. I put 3" exhaust on the car so removing the tank with the filler neck on it as a unit really isnt an option.  Thanks for helping me out ( AGAIN )   Steve
