I have a new spectra tank in my 51. Gotten to the point of reconnecting it to the original filler neck. Simple task, right?
I actually anticipated some difficulty with this knowing how clumsily it came apart. So I intentionally left the tank un-strapped to give some freedom to adjust.
There doesn't seem to be a sweet spot at which the angle of the filler neck matches up with the tubes on the tank. Doesn't match worth a crap actually. Bought new filler and vent hoses from Carter. I can get it connected to both sides, but it looks goofy and not enough material on one side or the other to feel good about tightening the hose clamp.
I'm thinking I need to go to the FLAPS and just get a couple hoses about an inch longer and be done with it. But before I give in and do that...just wanted to check and see if anyone else had a similar problem, or if there's some little trick I'm missing.
