I installed a new filler cap...the billet setup from Air Ride.

Here it is installed:

My trunk floor was replaced and the tank isn't a stock replacement...so the tank filler is centered in the trunk and not offset a hair to the passenger side.

Hard to tell in this picture, but you can barely see that the hose is not going straight into the tank filler and because of that, it's causing a bit of stress on the rear panel.

Anyone know of a hose I can use that is flexible and will stand up the gas fumes? The hose I have has barely any give, so it was a bear to even get it connected to both ends and I don't like that it's causing stress on the rear panel.

What about the clear hose used by stock car roundy round guys. It's what I used to tie my filler to my cell. Should be avaliable through a local speed shop, from Jaz, or a similar type of company.

That looks perfect. Is it more flexible than the black hose?

I think so, it's got a decent wall thickness but still pliable. There are no layers of cord to make it really stiff. Your other solution could to be to put a short piece of pipe with a nice little bend in it with a short piece of hose connecting one end to your filler and the other end to the tank. Just more options...

Thanks for the suggestion. I found the type of hose you mentioned at Pegasus Racing and ordered a foot long section.
