[Tigers] Gas tank vent hose

[Jim B]

Like Gary, I’m in CA and I hold back the vapor recovery sleeve. I angle the nozzle down into the filler pipe and that helps. Still a PITA though. Never tried the upside down method.

>> I have a ongoing issue, more of testing my patience, in that it takes me at least 5 minutes to completely fill my gas tanks.  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.
