I used to hate them in the early 50's, working in a gas station.
Remember them? You sat in your car while some other dummy (me)
struggled with the "Filler up's". It seems to me that you could take off the tank, install a nipple on the top, and run a vent howe up into a fender well. This would require a safety valve end, in case of a roll over, but it would relieve the trapped air so it wouldn't burp back thru the filler. I know we wished Chrysler had taken the designers of that particular area out to the parking lot and made them fill up a thousand cars each. Bet they'd thought about everything a little longer after that! Regards, Ray Y'all have a great holiday season, and tell all those special people that you love them.
