Fuel Tank keeps sagging lower......
Over the past two years, I've noticed when I'm putting fuel in the gas tank nozzle, that the nozzle keeps slowly lowering in the gas door opening. Now the fuel fill pipe is resting at the bottom and I can barely get the gas pump nozzle in. I don't seem to have any broken straps or pulled bolts, but something's gotta be happening. Anyone ever experience this?????? Nitro

Just take a look at everything to see if anything is rusted or about to break.

the filler neck just kind of hangs out of the side of the tank and isnt supported well, you could probably pull the little plastic cover in the rear wheel well and push it back up if it isnt rusted.

I had to have my tank dropped a few months ago and I guess it got bent when they did it so now it sits down there too, i will try and do what the other guy suggested when I get time and see if it sits back up.
