man-a-fre auxillary tank question?

I used an aluminum filler cap from a boat tank.

Ed,
Does the ability to run a dual filler neck then depend on which aux tank you pick, that is to say do all of the various brands and versions of aux tanks have a filler neck that will aim out of the driver's side? If that is the case, how tough would it be to close off the drivers side filler neck hole and pop a new hole on the passenger side of the tank and then plumb a filler neck from the aux tank to the dual filler neck running from the OEM spot? (assuming that sender position and baffles wouldn't be compromised by the new filler neck position) Admitedly the plumbing could get tricky around/above the drive shaft trying to clear everything and keep the right pitch and angle.

The filler on the rear aux tanks is on the passenger side, but the plumbing would not be easy.

I thought so but I wasn't sure. Thanks for clearing that up. I know that this post was originally about the man a fre tank but I wonder if anyone has found the filler neck plumbing a little easier on any of the other tanks that people use?

I would love to see some pics of how folks have setup their rear tank filler neck. I have not seen any picks and I would love to do it right the first time.
