I've been meaning to post on a similar subject... I assume I'm not the 
only one having increasin difficulty simply gettin gas into the tank, 
due to the new gas formulations (weird surface tension issues make for a 
strange foaminess) and the new-fangled vapor-recovery nozzles in use in 
Los Angeles (and I assume other urban areas).

It's gettin really bad. Even wiht an empty tank, I have to fill at a 
super-slow rate else it foams all over and comes out the neck overflow. 
It's a huge hassle.

I'm thinking of seeing if I can adapt filler systems from late-model 
cars, though they all hide behind doors because they're all butt-ugly. 
Or at least see how they arranged the air return business.
