LMC sells them $19.95 each

Re: Gusher at Fillup!

On mine the smaller tube which is the return or vent I think is all cracked and worn.
AND the clamps were loose. Tightening them helped but I need to order new stuff and replace.
Its bad enough that the CA nozzles don't fit the filler necks. They don't let the nozzle sit on its own you have to hold it in place!

Re: Gusher at Fillup!

I've lived with that issue for 20 years!,something wrong with the design? I've replaced the lines from dealer parts oem,still have issue,it has to be vent problem,or at the time my 78 was made gas pumps were slower now they pump really fast,have to have the pump at a certain angle,and slow the pump down,irritating, also I think the pump seal covers the vent hole and can cause the problem. back in 78 the pumps didn't have that big rubber seal on them, live with it man,or go crazy!

Re: Gusher at Fillup!

Is there a filler neck that has the smaller inlet in it with the little flapper door that we can swap out? Wouldnt that stop the splash back? I seem to find a nozzle here or there at different gas stations that dont splash like the other but they are few and far between
