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 |

I made a round PVC ring about 1 inch tall and used it under the nozzel when filling. . worked fine after that. . otherwise hold the rubber seal up with two fingers

But old 2x4 wood is kinda ghetto/redneck, so that appeals to me also. You should think about making some PVC rings up and selling them. Holding the gas pump is getting old, and I'd pay somebody to solve my problem. |
