I purchased the 22 gallon Fuel safe racing cell for our Boss 302 project, along with the stock location filler neck supplied by Fuel Safe. The filler neck costs $188, and here's how it fits:

The tube misses by 2 inches, and the vent hose won't attach to the barb because it hits the tailight support. Probably works great in a 65!
When I contacted Fuel Safe, I told them I had a 70 Boss 302 with their products installed, sent these pictures, and here was their response:
(name deleted)forwarded me your e-mail about your Boss 302, however most of my expertise is with 1960- 1969 Mustangs.
I would send your fill neck back so we can verify that you were sent the correct fill neck.
I do have one question, what size tank did the car originally come with? The angle of the fill will change from the 16 gallon to the 22 gallon tank. But looking at your photo I think we can probably send you a different fill neck that will work.
This will give me an opportunity for me to research tank and fill neck fit in early 70’s Mustangs, depending on how hard it is to find a 1970 Boss 302. I’ll let you know what I come up with (I think I know where one is).
It was, of course, the correct filler for a 70. It just didn't fit.
After a couple more e-mails, I determined that they don't know a 70 Mustang has a 22 gallon tank, and that there is no way on the face of the earth their product had ever been tested. It went back.
We fabricated our own using two original filler necks and a weld in bung. Not as sexy, but better than flexible hose

I sent this image to them and let them know their products don't work, and he just said Thanks! Ohhhh-kay....... :loco:
I hope their fuel cells are not designed by the same guy who makes the filler necks.
