Gas Filler on Left Side

I agree. If there's only one filler on the boat, it should be on the left.

I should probably get in the habit of filling the boat on the way home. Then I don't have to stop on the way to the water and I have all week to get the truck full.

It's on the right because when docking a fuel dock its easier to pull up on the right hand side

That is a great point. I have never thought about from that angle....

Make sense to me.

Kid's smarter than he looks, ain't he. :D

Boy it's hard working up the courage to drill a hole that big in the side of the boat!

Practice drilling on a piece of wood first!!!!!
Then practice again!

Getting the vent part through takes a little filing.

Only drilled the holes and mounted the neck last night. Doubled up some foam weatherstripping and it formed to the ridges on the side nicely. Looks like it belongs.
I'll plumb it this weekend, hopefully.

This would be a good how-to thread if you are up for it. Pictures and part numbers, step-by-step, etc.

The filler neck I got my dealer to order for $60. The hose's and tee's from a local hydraulic supplier. Attachment 17454Attachment 17455Install was easy. Drill practice holes so you get the spacing right. And have a file on hand for the finishing touches. A little bit of weatherproofing foam to fill the void and your done.
Hopefully I get to try it out this weekend. Weather has been shitty up here.
I know already that the factory side is going to be a slow fill but it will be worth it, for me, anyways.

HA!! I was going to post the EXACT same thing! Wrong vehicle. I have a Touareg also.

are you thinking this is due to the Tee fitting ?

props for being the first, you sure made it look simple. I allways wondered about that ridge and how to overcome that.

Yes it will fill slow because of the tee. I just can't find a 1-1/2" wye fitting anywhere. This was as close as I could get...Attachment 17465 and I wasn't going to go there!

I'll snap some side views this weekend for you. The ridge was fine to go over.

For those that fill on the water, right side is key on an inboard, especially when you are the only person on the boat, or in a river with strong currents!
