    I am in the process of bodywork on my 75 CJ5 and am considering moving my filler neck to the rear right quarter panel. Has anyone done this modification or seen it done?

    I've seen pics of it.
    It looks just like the above pic but on the other side.
    Nothing complicated, you just need to find the proper hoses that "S" straight out without the 90 degree bend toward the back

    I had the filler on the right side on my CJ 6. Tank inlets were on that side. I just bought flexible fuel pump hose and it was an easy run.

    It was fuel pump hose purchased at a business who mainly did hydraulic hose work.

    Factory setup?

    http://www.mtscompany.com/jeep.htm If MTS has them, others will. AFAIK the only parts that are not available are the bulkhead fitting in the hose and the filler neck (at the gas cap). The '76 overflow tube will work if you cut it. IIRC.
