Default Slow speed on the pump and no problems
ERA778 Slow speed on the pump and no problem. Does your line or tank have an flip over ball in it. They call it a roll over ball. This stops gas from coming out of the tank and you becoming a hot dog. I do have a large hotel towel for filling. The new gas with methanol or ethonal WILL eat some paints. This will protect the paint. There is a small tube that works as a vent to help get the air out of the tank. I think holding the nozzle a little way from the gas filler also helps the fuel and air to swap locations too. I fill slow, what's the hurry??? Rick L.
