Well aint that something, 68L...
Anyhow, Mikey managed to get way more into it..somehow, he'll have to tell ya. Regardless of my inaccurate capacity claims, the principal is the same.

I get frustrated after about 3 gallons or so, so I stop....and go to another station. Sometimes the same thing happens...other times I can fill my tank...no problem.

I've had this issue occasionally. Isn't there something in the neck that can get plugged that will cause it to do this? I thought I remembered reading it somewhere.
I was just having some fun with my previous comment.

In my old 93' I had to have the rubbar guard on the nossle just outside of where the lid closes. If I pushed the nossle all the way in it would keep stopping. Just put the nossle in little past half way, then try pumping.
