Default RE: 3rd line for refueling IDEA

Just an IDEA at this point; do not know if it can be done successfully.

Was thinking with all theveteransand creativemodelershere that SOMEONE would have considered this solution. Why have all of your hoses crammed up front when the back of the bottle is wide open?

The ideal solution would be a factory bottle from Dubro or other with a built-in nipple (molded into the plastic bottle) on the back to plug in a fuel line. And it would be especially nice if the inlet inside the bottle was at the bottom for defueling.

As for a homemade version, with all of the high-tech fuelresistantadhesives & sealantsavailable today, it seemsplausiblethat this concept could work. My thoughts were to drill a hole in the back of the tank, seat a rubbergrommet in the hole, insert a tight fitting metal tube (curbed to the bottom inside) and then apply a really good fuelresistantsealant around the area.

Again, I have no idea if this concept will work so I was hoping someone with experience could help. Or offer a work around/better solution.

Thanks!<br type="_moz" />
