A trick to make filling 6 Gal Tanks Easier?

[SeaKaye12]

Hello All...<br /><br />I just came back from the gas station with two of my 6 gallon fuel tanks.<br /><br />What a pain it is with todays modern gas pump nozzels (I'm in California...maybe they're worse here???)<br /><br />I can fill the first 4 gallons or so...but then the automatic shut-off nozzel does just that....I have to finish the last two gallons by clicking dozens of times...a few ounces dispensed per "click".....<br /><br />A pain! Used to be there was a way to trick the auto sensor...but it doesn't seem to work anymore...<br /><br />Anyone have a method that works???<br /><br />Thanks for reading, Chuck

Here I just pull the nozzel out of the filler neck (well practicly) and fill by sight.

in Cali you have to hold the boot on the nozzle back to make it think its all the way in a tank without touching the liquid... yes, they suck...

If they have that rubber boot on the nozzle like they do here in Missouri, just pull back on the boot and fill her up...
