No harm done at all. To me it just doesn't look right. That's why I haven't replaced mine yet. Until I find one that looks correct, I won't replace it.robroy wrote:Hey SideOilerFE,
I think you're probably right that the neck didn't sit there from the factory. Yet if the seal is better when it is sitting there, I can't think of any harm it does--can you?
Thanks!

Hey SideoilerFE,
I know what you mean--it looks odd.
But the grommet actually looks OK if I just pull the filler neck out an inch or two. I pushed it in a ways on purpose to get a fantastic seal around the grommet. When the neck's sticking out like it is supposed to, the rubber seal is a little loose--it would probably still work, but it's not super tight.
