Hey Kevin: I agree that it is a tight fit, but with almost 5000 put out by
the factory, it is a doable task. They certainly did not "ding" the gas tank.
First, I would ask which fittings are you using? Aluminum is no longer
legal (because of the AD for the gascolator braces). Second, are you trying to
screw the gascolator on the fitting, or put the whole assembly back in place
after it has been put together.
You may need a slightly longer extension in the elbow to get the
gascolator out far enough to clear the oil tank. I have seen one or two where
a
slight turn downwards of the 90 degree fitting will give enough room. However,
you do have to either remove the oil tank or the carburetor to put it all
together.
