Does anyone make an Oil Fill extension pipe/adapter for a C13?

On my C13, I can not pour engine oil into the Oil Fill tube. The Charge Air Cooler pipe sits over the filler and prevents getting a funnel into it. I was able to use a small hand transfer pump with rubber hoses to refill my engine after doing an oil change. Removing the CAC is too much work to add a quart or two.

Has anyone seen an adapter or extension pipe to move the Oil Filler tube outward (about 6" for me)? Since the Oil filer tube is bolted to the timing cover, it does not look too hard (for someone with welding/fabricating skills) to fabricate a short extension to fit "between" the timing cover the the stock filler tube.

Mike , Here is one on eBay you can custom for your application, put in can cut to length. I know it says C12 but I would bet that the mounting and bolt pattern are the same C12 and C13

Thanks for the idea. I found another one on Ebay for less. If I'm able to get it I will build a new tube using it and my current fill tube to gain the additional length.

Send pics when you get it done. I hate my fill also. I don’t remember I there is a cap on the valve cover. Will have to look.

No fill cap on valve cover.
I was able to buy the fill tube off Ebay for $30. So I fab something up when I get it and post picture.
