Re: Filler door

[JALFAjr@domain.elided]

Stefano writes about the filler door and the filler neck on the GTV.   I had 
my 1971 1750 GT Veloce in CA during the spring of 1990 and found I had a lot 
of trouble using the accordian gas pumps as well.   I also had trouble not 
chipping the upper lip of the fuel opening in using just the normal midwest 
nozzles.

This past spring, I took my gas tank out and had it boiled, coated and the 
fuel filler neck cut down an inch.   Since that time, filling the tank has 
been a much pleasanter job than previously.   The cost for all of this was 
$125.   I don't know how much it would cost just to cut the neck down, but in 
addition to making it shorter, one could reposition it to a different angle 
if desired or necessary.
