    [​IMG] Has anyone installed this Sparco gas cap on their maverick? I bought the gas cap and the tunnel or (fuel filler neck) and I noticed that it's made out of aluminum, so I wont be able to weld my existing filler neck to this one. Can I use a big fuel hose that goes from the back of the cap into the tank? Or whats the best way to install this?


    Thanks in advance,
    Val

    That is the way it is on my Mustang. There is a larger hose that extends up from the tank to the cap.

    You will need to stick part of the original filler neck down in the tank. It will need to be cut off so you can put a hose between the two.
