Listee Gurus:  These filler neck problems, are they fixable by using Mr.
Wilfy's gas tank expansion tank fix ordoes that just fix the gas odor
problem?  I have a kit, but not installed yet to examine results.

As far as fillling the tank, my 90 GL mysteriously ran out of gas the other
day while I was daydreaming(I meant driving) and after I added a full gallon
of camp fuel to the tank to get it going again, the 2-3 miles to the next
station allowed me to check and see how much I could get in there.  Initial
filling went to 14.3(15.3 approx in tank) and top off took little effort to
get it to 14.7 and I figured that was close enough to 15.8 like the spec
sheet says.
