So here's the problem... while filling up my 75 914 the gas nozzle constantly goes off, as in it trips the release handle like its full. I know it's not full but if I don't fill it at the slowest speed it will constantly trip the nozzle. Anybody else have this issue? Is there a blockage somewhere?
Thanks in advance. Greg |

Motorcycle shops used to sell hooks that would hold the vapor cone back for filling up motorcycle fuel tanks. A PO of one of my 914s got a piece of 2x4 with a ~2-3" diameter hole drilled through it that served the same purpose.
Our tanks are (relatively) flat and wide, and do not have a long vertical hose going down into them. The current pumps pretty much assume that you have several inches or more of mostly-vertical hose running down into the tank, and ours will make them think the tank is full way too early. --DD |
