gas tank problem

As long as the rubber isn't pushing up against the tank, and you're not finding that the filler neck is being forced up and out of the access holes, then you should be alright.

Problems ensue when it's barely ON the filler neck on the tank itself (happens when people trim the filler neck, metal or rubber) , or the excess is so long that it pushes the rubber up and out (rare if ever).

Sounds like you're up and running, just make sure you do put a hose clamp in place, the OEM wire clamps are the best for this....they don't "bite" the rubber with hundreds of little teeth.

FWIW
