Do they sell any devices?
It's been a frustration to me, as well. I get serious splash back
from some pumps -- I can't even put 10 gallons in without it splashing back at me (when I should be able to put in 150 gallons). Other times, all goes well. I've found that the fill up often works best when I pump at a moderate rate (no more than the 2nd notch of 3) and hold the dispenser nozzle up so the fuel runs down the bottom of the fill tube. One near-impossible to guess factor is that sometimes the fuel foams more than other times. I can only guess that it's differences in the dispensers as temperature, weather, time of day, etc. don't seem to give any indication that a fuel up will result in a shower or not. (I've learned to wear rubber gloves and stand to one side of the filler tube.) The fuel gauge is also sufficiently imprecise that I really can only guess at what a "fill up" might be. When I filled a couple of days ago, I guessed about 150 gal... but it took 180. The serious caution about filling with both caps off is that the dispenser nozzles cut off based on a back pressure sensor triggered by fuel bubbling up in the fill-tube. No back pressure, no cut off. Pete Masterson '95 Blue Bird Wanderlodge WBDA 42 aeonix1@...
