Angled propane fill elbow? Rubber hose?

The propane fill in my ERA 170M is a shade too low to the ground, and the large pistol-shaped feed device used at Flying J's can't quite make the connection without the ground interfering.

I don't really want to muck with the mfg's installed propane system, I'd like to find some kind of flexible or angled adapter that I could install.

I'm pretty ignorant of propane based technology (I'm a charcoal man, myself...), does such a device exist?

Thanks for any advice you can offer.
  • might this work? It looks right, but there's so many valve types out there, I get nervous.

  • Would it work to lift the body of the B an inch or two by driving onto "leveling blocks when refilling propane? No additional stuff to carry.
