Bruce, I would use the larger hole in the banjo housing to refill, notice its a little higher. Lots of Columbias that came on the Zephyr did not have the extra fill hole on the Columbia unit. Thats because the Zephyrs having the Hypoid type rear axle and the Fords did not. Just in case you dont know, to get the tank out you will need to unscrew the filler neck from the tank. It takes a spanner wrench but mine would not budge. I wound up using a pipe wrench and whacked it with a hammer to break it loose. Dont forget to put in a new lead washer when you reinstall the neck.
