Besides being upset paying $2.53 a gal for gas this morning I had another problem. Filling the tank took forever due to the fact that the nozzle kept shutting off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) The nozzle didn't qiute fit right either. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Is this an issue anyone else has ?, and/or is there a way to prevent the pressure from building up and shutting off the pump ?. Thanks.
Greg. BTW - today was my cars first trip into work...30 miles,whole lotta fun ! |

Because of the way they design the newer nozzles, they work great for newer cars with the small gas holes that are on the side of the vehicles.
Unfortunatly, for those older cars with the big gaping holes, or those that fill from the top, the newer nozzles keep shutting off. I had that problem sometimes in the VW Bug. Try holding the nozzle just above the hole (where it doesn't splash of course!) so that the backpressure doesn't shut the nozzle off. But watch it so it doesnt overfill!!
