[Tigers] Gas tank vent hose

[GARY WINBLAD]

You must not be in CA (or other state with the vapor recovery gas pumps).
All 13 gallons take forever for me, so I never try to go more than 9 or so.
Old cars don't have the on-board carbon canister system that is needed for the new pumps.
So there is nothing you can do.
When the nozzle is fully inserted and gas pumped in the pressure rises and the pump shuts
off, always spilling gas down the side and onto the ground. 
I have to hold the nozzle crooked so the bellows doesn't fully seat and just barely open the
trigger, takes forever.
Some guys hold the nozzle upside down (vertical) and it works better.  I just tried this again
and it did seem to work better than years ago when I last tried it.

It takes the first 8-9 gallons just fine but the last 3-4 takes forever.  I must squeak in .1-.2 gallons at a time, meaning I must wait 10-15 seconds for the gas to settle in the tanks before adding more.
