The best bet is get the Powerlet conversion and the 90 degree plug. Otherwise you risk damage to the tank.
HUH!?! Use mine all the time for ciggs, cigsars & "whatever"! (
) Never had it "strike the tank" while on the road!! Of course, never used it while parked w/bars turned all the way left...did you!?!
