Fuel Splashback
Has anyone had a fuel splash back problem when gassing up? Is there something I need to do before refueling, it made quite a dangerous mess, and I had to stop the process. It was a warm day and I had just been driving if that means anything. Thank you.

Bill, when I bought my new BDR last year I was given great info on this before I took delivery. Make sure and insert the nozzle all the way in the filler, use half flow on the pump trigger, and when the pump clicks off the FIRST time its full. Don't add anymore gas. And don't ever just use the self fill latch and walk away. Hope this helps.

On my BDR the vent line pick-off is approx 4" down the filler neck on the onboard side. Standing to the side of the car and relaxing the nozzle against the fill hole points the fuel right at the vent line. What works for me is placing the gas handle aft so the fuel shoots the the fwd side of the filler neck pipe or ensure the nozzle is aimed straight down the filler neck while filling if you have to stand to the side.
