Fuel Filler Neck
Got issues with my fuel filler neck, I needed to fit a tight 90 deg bend on a side mounted fuel cap, admittedly I only used standard silicone hose
when I know I should be using fluro lined.
My problem is I have to force the petrol pump nozzle into the bend to get it pointing downwards enough to ensure it flows properly otherwise it just
blows back at me but I've noticed that constantly doing this is tearing away at the inside of the hose.
So what would I be best to use as a replacement, I need something that would make the fuel nozzle just slide along the inside wall rather than digging
into it.
Cheers.

Can you get a alloy bend in there?

Possibly, my seatbelt reel sits back there as well so the more flexible the pipe the better as both are fighting for the same space, the reel actually
pushes the filler pipe back slightly. I originally did try an aluminium pipe with a dent hammered into it fo allow the seat belt inertia reel to fit
but all it did was make fuel blow back when I tried filling it at the pumps. When I switched to the flexi pipe and kept a smoother bend this got
better.
