Does anyone make a 90 degree fuel fill. Where I'm placing my new one it's too hard to try to turn the new marine fill line onto it. Wow, that new fill line is really hard. Maybe there is a 90 deg. bend that I can attach to the fuel fill first.
 
Nope,.... I've never seen a 90° fuel fill fittin',...

Did ya heat the hose 1st,..??

Did ya lube the end of the hose, 'n fuel fittin',..??
 
You could use a fuel fill that accepts a threaded pipe fitting in the underside. Then you would use a combination of a close nipple, 90 or 45 elbow (or street ell instead) and a tailpiece with hose barb. Examples here: http://www.fisheriessupply.com/plumbing/deck-fills

Consider this though: a 90 degree elbow attached to the filler is going to make fueling slower and you'll probably have to hold the nozzle.
