[T2] Fuel filler hose

[Ned Savoie]

It is difficult to do (I have big hands) but it can be done. The part that
goes from the metal tube to the tank is NLA, from what I remember. The good
news is the Mercedes/Dodge Sprinter piece fits perfectly. More info here:

I just had my mechanic order it, I think it was around $15 and you don't
pay for shipping. See the second entry here:
