[QUOTE="vinito, post: 95774, member: 12954"] Well I dunno. I could add a piece of bent rod as a bumper thing, but it's not much above the tires which will stick out a good 6 or 7 inches outside of the filler neck once they are back on the machine. I was kind of thinking that something would have to jut in past the tires but just over the top of them to contact this filler neck and while not impossible, maybe not very likely. Plus, since the tank is a foot and a half below the neck and connected by rubber, it could totally rip off the filler neck unnoticed and still not spill fuel before I got to feel the dissapointment of having to go find the missing, buried neck I spent so much time making ;) Does it seem to be a safety hazard? I could swear I've seen similar configurations on other machines, but sometimes I remember seeing things that were never there, so... [/QUOTE]
