Chevy cut away chassis putting gas in

I think the biggest problem in all of this is the small diameter hose to the tank,that all started back about '75 when we went to unleaded gas.

Back then they made the fuel filler opening smaller and the gas pump nozzle smaller so vehicles that ran on unleaded gas could not get the larger nozzle in.

Now everything runs on unleaded so they should go back to the larger nozzle or larger fuel lines to the tank, that would solve the problem.

For the most part , the hose to that tank stayed the same , they put in that extra flat piece with the reduced size hole for the smaller unleaded fuel pump nozzles in the filler neck.
And if a person had made that hole bigger it was an automatic smog test failure at least here in Ca.

Then some hairbrained bonehead designing these coaches decided "Hey we can put a tiny ide bidi filler hose to the fuel tank for more room for "fill in blank ___________" !
We won't be filling the fuel tank somebody else will !

I'd like to meet the idiot that designed these. Its like putting 10lbs of %$#^ in a 5 lb bag trying to fill the tank each time !
