Gas pump shutoff?

Re: McCuff

I've been using the McCuff for years. It makes it easy to use the pumps here in Calif. Just place it on the tank, push the filler nozzle in and when it shuts off, the tank is full. No more short bursts trying to get that last quart or so in.
Since the trike doesn't lean over when parked like a bike does, I find this is a whole lot easier on my back.

Interesting thread !

I bought a Kawasaki VN 2000 a few weeks ago and when I went to fill it up at the gas station (in CALI) I pushed the nozzle in and let it start filling. I had the bike upright between my legs because the filler is in the middle of the tank.

I NEVER do that ! I usually hold the rubber cuff back and watch it fill but this time I figured it was a big tank and t would take a bit to fill it.

Just when I was wondering how much this tank holds the thing started gushing out the top and down the sides of the tank and into my lap. I put the bike on the side stand and looked for a fire extinguisher and to my amazement - they DIDN'T have one !!

I wiped the bike down and poured water over the exhaust headers to make sure no fuel was in there.

You're right about the wax job - it was gone so I had to redo that.
