Refueling RT

[Questions]

Apologies if i seemed insulting.

True, a forum is for good exchanges mostly.

I think the negative responses to the product were somewhat insulting and unfounded to the initial forum poster AND the product itself, while he was trying to offer some helpful tips based on his own experience.

Scotty, yes, but the malfunction shouldn't be atributed to the product. But instead to the pump that has a malfunctioning or NON-functioning autoshutoff system altogether.

The capacity of the tank will be fully utilized with the device in that you can set the distance of the hole from the top off point whereever you feel comfortable.

Additionally, the mccuff is solid rubber or something that feels like rubber. It seems designed to do, just what you said it wouldnt which is "hold up" the nozzle vapor recovery to the right level so as to obtain a steady stream of fuel. You can see videos of it somewhere online. Including their website.

But yes, I'll go with your suggestion. I'm a newbie here.

Oh, I wanted to say when i bought mine from their website I entered in a "promo code" that my Spyder Dealer gave me, it saved me 10%. I don't know if it still works but it was: OHU

Gotta lay low

:joke:

I have not seen the McCuff, but it did look to me as it was designed to hold up the vapor recovery sleeve. For that purpose, it would sure beat getting your hands gassy smelling. In Michigan, we have neither vapor recovery nozzles, nor extra vents in the nozzle snout, as the surrounding states do. Because of that, it is easy to place the nozzle barely into the no-lead baffle, with the shutoff port outside. This allows maximum fill, but will not auto shut off. You have to stop when the fuel begins to back up out the nozzle vents. Even at this, the fuel will be down about 1/2" from the baffle. In other states I have visited, especially those with vents a couple of inches above the shutoff port, the vents have to be below the baffle. This forces auto shut off, but makes it very difficult to get a decent fill. Some of these nozzles fill really fast, and will blow fuel out the baffle vents almost continuously. It is too bad there is not a device like the McCuff to help with those.

And in Texas, the nozzles are different from station to station. I usually get my car gas at Sam's, but the nozzle system there (vapor recovery sleeve has to be pulled back about 2 inches) won't work on the Spyder. So I go to the Valero station that has just a bare nozzle, no vapor recovery sleeve. And fill up as Scotty describes.... the trickle method.
