>After you remove the filler cap there is still a connector pipe, the 
pipe the cap screws into.  This Pipe is flush with the rear deck, is 
about two inches long, and the distance between the connector pipe 
and the fuel tank inlet is around one inch...leaving virtually no 
room for removal of the old rubber hose much less room to bend, 
squeeze and install an new,stiff one...even with lots of silicone, 
KY-Jelly or whatever.

The pipe on the tank shouldn't be flush with the deck.  There should be a
few inches to play with since the filler cap piece extends down some inches
and these should just butt up to each other.
