Raven,
Yeah, I saw that when I originally asked about a month ago. I though about it (being an over-analytical
engineer, could you tell?) And decided the minimal-damage approach should work. The relief tube ( is that
really the right name for it, I'm not sure), when covered by gas, trasmits a pressure change ( via air) to the
gas station pump. My guess is those holes around the nozzle recieve the pressure change and turn off the
flow. So only the relief tube needs cut. Thus raising the gas level at which the tube is covered and the signal is
sent.
When filling the gas tank, the pressure of the fuel flow down the filler tube keeps the ball from blocking the
tube. Your right it probably doesn't make a difference, but since it wasn't necessary to cut it, I left the filler
tube in place. Haven't had a single problem yet. Well, except for winterized fuel killing the gas mileage. Is it
really more environmentally friendly if you use more because the gas mileage drops?
jcooper.
