my '60 fairlane gas filler is behind the license plate and can be a b***h to fill with a can. I carry a short piece of 1 1/2" plastic pipe and put it in the filler tube to fill from a can.

You can get gooseneck funnels at just about any auto parts store, hardware store, Lowe's, Home Depot, Horror Fright, etc., etc.

the reason I use the plastic pipe is the shape of the filler tube allows the plastic pipe to wedge in place. Funnels tend to turn and I'd spill gas

How often do you expect to use a funnel? I've never had a problem with it, just modulate the flow so you don't overwhelm the funnel.

Cut the end of the funnel off to suit your needs..............
