It is bridged by a short rubber tube that appears to have a twist in it. Anyone else see something like this? Has anyone had it repaired successfully? A picture should be below.

Compared to other pictures posted, it appears to me that the hose was attached first and then the filler tube was rotated counter-clockwise as much as 90 degrees, putting the kink in the hoses. What gives it away is the position of the clamp, which would be very difficult to tighten as aligned in picture.
In a motorhome like FW28z all the clamps are aligned properly as you would expect a mechanic to do it to make it easier on himself if tightened after the assembly was aligned between the tank and the body.
I personally see this as a 100% Thor issue and not Ford.
