Do they sell any devices?

[Ron Thompson]

Rob,
Thanks for the response. I ran my pump full blast witht the opposite fuel cap
off and no back up. You might try that next time you fill up.

"FILL UP" What a laugh. 500 bucks only gets you a half tank at best. You know
they are still forecasting $200.00 a barrell for crude oil. That will double
our cost at least. What a miserble future we are looking at.

94 fills from either side into the same tank. I have thought of using
the opposite fill as a vent but haven't tried it yet. I put the nozzle on
lowest setting and walk away until it clicks off. It usually spits back but
I make sure I'm not there to receive. After that I slowly fill and watch the
foam as it regurgitates back up the fill nozzle, back off, fill some more
and so on. If there is no one behind me I can fill her right up to the top
of the fill tube.
