I have to listen or it will slosh over. Being a little hard of hearing, I sometimes don't stop in time. The problem is they narrowed the intake pipe so you couldn't put the old fuel in. They also had to downsize the fuel hose pipe on the pump. This allows air to be pushed out alongside the fuel pump hose and not shutting off the pump because of back pressure. I am going to find a small plastic glass and cut the bottom out so it provides a snug fit in the tank pipe. That way the back pressure will shut off the damn pump. The whole thing looks like it was designed by some damn bureaucrat.
Sorry for the type - damn bureaucrat should be one word.
