Gas stations are making me angry.

...and it's not just because of the price of fuel.

Anybody have issues with certain gas station nozzles not being compatible with your 73-80 truck?

Seems like about 45% of the time when I go to fill up, I have to dick around with the nozzle to get it to work. Sometimes I get it right on, sometimes it kinda works but spills about $10 worth of gas down the side of my truck and onto the ground, and the other times it just flat out won't pump. It will run for a few seconds, then it shuts off. Even if I stand there and hold it manually, or flip the nozzle upside-down it still won't pump.

It's pissing me off.

Seems like the only stations that don't give me any issues are the commercial card lock stations.

I'm thinking about doing something just like this-



I think by eliminating all the bends and other restrictions of the stock fill system and basically making it a straight shot, I will eliminate most, if not all, of my problems.

Think beer bong for your fuel tank.

Any thoughts?
