Exhaust tube to make fuel filler tube???

[scherp69]

As some of you have seen, I decided to put a Camaro filler neck onto my Acadian (Nova) but now I have to figure out how to connect the filler tube to the gas tank. I was thinking about getting some standard exhaust tubing and running it through the floor (welded of course) and running it to meet with the tank filler tube. Is there any issue using exhaust tubing to do this? The outside will be painted and matched to the underside and trunk, but want to make sure won't be an issue running fuel through it. Thanks in advance guys.

i would use stainless if it were me. nothing worse than a tank full of rust.

no issues, it is galvanized so you should not have rust issues. Try to find seemless tubing if you can

Thanks Mike that's what I was hoping to hear. I don't have an adapter to weld stainless so it's much easier just using standard tubing.

Theres no rust issues, the 69 Ford truck I built has a old piece of exhaust pipe scrap as a filler neck for the second tank. Been working fine for 10 years now.

Be very careful welding the pipe if it is galvanized. The gas that comes off it is poisonous.

Thanks Mike. I'll keep that in mind. Never knew that.
