Got tired of holding the gas pump nozzle.., Easy fix Options

While refueling my 914 for the last 20 years, I have had to hold the gas pump nozzle anti vapor ring up while pumping the gas in because the pump nozzles don't go into the tank far enough. I finally cut a ring of tubing (almost any kind will work) and attached it with a chain near the tank. Here's a pic of the ring and attachment, how it goes on the tank, and the pump in it. The inside diameter of the ring must be greater than 1 5/8 inches and no larger OD than 2 1/2 inches, and the length should be between 1/2 and 5/8 of an inch to space the pump nozzle properly. It's so nice to put the nozzle in now and click it on till the tank is full!

Like the idea. What type of rubber, diameter, and length did you use? It appears the length of the hose could help to or prevent the pump handle from shutting off prior complete fill up. What about the rubber standing to the fuel?

I am thinking of using wire enforced, hydraulic pressure lines. Only if the diameter ls large enough for the tank filler opening.

Check my original post, has specs you want. I used a piece of scrap rubber tubing I had, but any kind of tubing should work, pvc, abs, rubber. It doesn't get gas on it much if careful.
