Joel,
I think I have a vague recollection that there were some fill elbows(?) (between gas cap and
right side tank) that had an obstruction in the molded on fitting for the vent hose (to the left
tank). The hose and tanks and everything could be good and you would still have a problem
if that fitting was obstructed, first place I would check.

As we live in NC, we have no vapor recovery sleeve gas nozzles. The nozzle key, I believe would not do anything to help. If no kinks or obstructions, from others having the same issue, I will have to check my impatience at the door.

As I recall, the device was made to be used for motorcycles. If you have any biker friends maybe you could get a line on 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.

> I had the same trouble as everybody else, and the only relief I could get was to break the recovery seal, also. This went on for decades. One day I smelled some gas fumes in the car. After eliminating the carb as the source I started looking behind the trunk panels. I found a crack in the vent tube and another crack in the filler neck. Fixed both of those. Went to gas up, stuck the nozzle in, put the automatic trip on, and was shocked that the tanks filled completely. This was about a year ago. Every fill up since, even at different gas stations, has had the same result. Goes totally against logic and critical thinking, because previously the only way to get gas in was to break the seal. Now, with no way for air to enter the system, it fills up completely without any fuss. Go figure!
