Mass. gas stations

[BruceUpstate NY]

Just got back from A'ing in Mass. How do you guys manage to get gas out of those elephant snout faucets?

It is the one thing that bugs me about those A's, putting gas in them with any can, hose or spout, it a battle not to spill gas on them. i carry a small 4" funnel in a zip lock bag to make it a little easier.

I live in Massachusetts and every Mobil station I have ever stopped at has a modern vapor recovery nozzle which allows easy Model A fill ups. With other brands of gas yes the stations often have older type nozzles that are a real problem for a Model A fillup, so it then becomes a matter of chance on filling up a Model A.

You didn't fill up at the diesel pump by chance.lol. You need a strong hand to pull up the rubber.

Go to a Harley store and pick up their vapor recovery hog lock thingy (I don't what to call it). It looks like a hog and when you pull the recovery hose back there is a ferrell there that you slip this pig over and it keeps the hose back, you can then fill up w/o holding the rubber part.

The Gulf station in Mass. I use has a small steel nozzle with a rubber hand grip. No problem at all.
