Easy way to fill up for once

I've been using this device to fill up for the nozzles we have out here in Florida and it is working great so far. Thought I'd let others know about it after I had tested it.

Don't have to hold up the nozzle with two hands any more and no more crazy clicking or overflows. Really a good invention.

pretty cool idea but it takes all of 30 seconds to put 2-4 gallons of gas in a bike.

You have fast gas pumps in the states.

Let's don't forget that the vapor recovery nozzles weren't thinking of us bikers when they made them.
Do you have vapor recovery nozzles yet in your State?
What State are you in?

I don't know. By the time I dig that device out from my bag and place it on the nozzle, I could have filled the tank. Then after filling I'd have to remove it and put it back in the bag. Then in that time I could have the bike started and be on my way. I'll stick with the conventional method.

Then, when you're at your next stop filling up more quickly, the guy using the device will be flyin' bye ya.

I just seems to me the only reason to use that device is to prevent splash back. A problem I don't have. As far as the other guy flying by, let him go! I don't ride a sportbike so I don't really care. It seems to me to be a waste of time digging the thing out of a bag to fill every time for a problem I don't have. All I do now is unlock the cap, fill the tank, then put the cap back on and I'm on my way.

Well not just splash back.
In my experience it allows you to squeeze more fuel in your tank maybe giving us a few extra miles.
And it stops that repeated clicking from the nozzle shutting off over and over again.
I've been able to fill up in seconds one handed.
Just food for thought my friends!
