Connecting the original fuel filler pipe to the 16 Gallon Fuel Tank, is a durable, 4" long fuel tank filler hose that is made from flexible, hard rubber. Replacing this hose is always recommended when installing a new fuel tank.

The best part about this fuel tank kit is the fact that everything bolts up to the factory locations using original hardware. If you don't have original hardware to use, a fuel tank mounting hardware kit is included, which comes with all the necessary mounting hardware required to drop in the new fuel tank and secure it.
Tech Tip: if you install two gaskets on the filler pipe, it helps to move the gas cap away from the tail light panel which helps to keep the gas cap from scratching the paint when it is twisted during opening and closing.
