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 |

The blockage is in California! The stupid nozzles have to go so far in because of that big black rubber neck thing on the pump handle.
The narrow opening on the later model teeners doesn't make it any easier. If you make a donut to cover the tank opening or just hold the "anti spill" neck back it may work better for you. |

The problem with those black retractable "collar things" in CA is that those recover the fumes that the pump is generating. If the recovery system isnt "mostly" sealed when it pulls a vacuum, it will shut off the pump. They are phasing out stage II vapor recovery soon I believe. |
