Thanks for the reply. Job already done. Opened it up to the full 2". Sometimes I have to fill up at the big boy pump and the restrictor just makes it a pain in the neck, unsafe, environmentally unfriendly, and time consuming. The same as above goes for filling from a fuel jug, maybe more so.
Been wanting to do this for a while now. Only mistake I made was not doing this when the tank was out for the pump install. Would have been easier.
BTW-I did blow out the shavings with high pressure air and then twice, shook up and then rinsed out the tube with diesel. Spic and span.
Nice - glad you got it sorted out.
I ran across this same problem about a month ago: on an out-of-state business trip, I pulled into a gas station (just a normal gas station, not one at a truck stop), went to fill up, and... Large-diameter nozzles. The adapter saved my bacon that day, because I was running on fumes at that point.
For a permanent mod, though, I'm keeping this in mind. I'll eventually be doing an in-tank pump, so might as well add this to the list of improvements.
