Default 2001 XR8 Ute Fuel Filler neck Modification

Hi Forum,
I am in a little spot of bother with my XR8 Ute rebuild
I have built a tray back for my Ute,which is also Tubbed and very low to the ground.
I have sat my tray back down as low as i could, which has sat it on the mounts where the old Tub was mounted
The problem i have is my existing filler neck on the AU 2001 Ute is elongated and is sitting way to high out of the tray to do anything good with it
I have gone down the road of external fuel cells(even bought a 57 litre RCI tank and talked myself out of it. Why ruin a good thing whilst its running right i say
I want to apply a Newton aero 300 filler cap to the top of my tray and some flexible fuel hose underneath back to tank.
I know their is an inner vent tube on the inside + Unleaded fuel flap
If i replace all of that as in Newton supplied cap and hose + clamps
Can i modify ( as in cutting 4 inches off the existing plastic tank ?

Any comments are regarded as help
