Could always pull the cap end of the filler tube, kink it, wire it shut, and then toss a welding blanket over the works. Best case, 5 minutes, and nobody dies. The way it would go for me is I'd break the filler neck trying to get an ancient hose off. Add that to the list of things to...

Being in AK, I tend to pick vendors based on shipping policy. What is priced best for me may not be priced best for you. Pretty happy with these, which in my case were cheaper than the surplus center link above when considering shipping...
