Slow fill-ups

[kevins2]

I'm not sure how widespread this issue is, but I've heard a couple of guys mention they have to fill up very slowly or the gas nozzle auto-shutoff keeps kicking in. So, I thought I'd post a solution that enables full-speed fill-ups.

The issue is that, unless you're aiming down the middle of the fill tube, the gas bubbles up and the auto shutoff kicks in. I made a stand for a small mirror out of some scrap metal I had laying around and, by watching through the clear fill tube in the trunk (I believe most, if not all, ERAs have clear fill tubes like this?), it is easy to aim down the center and fill full speed. In the photo below, the view is from standing where you'd be filling and I'm holding a small wrench in the filler tube where you'd see the gas nozzle.

Anyway, hope this is helpful to someone...
