Does anyone have any suggestions on what to use to access a fuel tank. My fuel tank has been placed in the back of the frame and the bed floor will be about 5 inches above the tank itself. I need to make or have something that I can open and place my hand thru to turn and open the fuel tank screw on lid. (such as a hinged lid mounted in the bed) I was wanting to avoid putting a hose extension down to the tank with the traditional pop up fuel tank door. Any suggestions. smile

The problems we face today can not be addressed at the same level of intelligence we were at when we created them - Albert Einstein Or with the same level of $ - Me

Cool idea, that way the fuel cap is protected. Check out Mc Master Carr, i looked and they have some access hatches that you could use.
