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!

I dont actually think its a bad idea though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Every time I fill up I have to readjust the nozzle so it won't trip off. Definitely making one of these. |
