I HATE Vapor recovery (ECO) gasoline pump nozzles! Is this just "my issue" only? Anyone else? What do you do to avoid this?

They will, especially if it goes any further!

I am learning how far my chain goes!! It's been a long lesson!!

I apologize for not being more explicit about my local Costco's gas pump nozzles. I learned immediately to pull the boot back to use the nozzle, but the firehose velocity of the fuel coming out of the nozzle and the total lack of finite control of the nozzle is what made me dump Costco for refueling my bike.

I was going to go there Ron, and I totally agree with your words, but thought site police would shut me down!!!

I spent 53 years in Southern California. Just sighting facts that everyone already knows.

This solves your problem.

Here are a couple of devices designed to assist with the issue.

So, you get no spillage with this set up? Will it have any gas on the unit when you're done that you have to deal with? Most gas stations here don't have rags handy that you can wipe things off before you stow them away, so where do you put it when you're done?

I have never had any spillage with the McCuff (maybe once when the pump failed to stop!). Yes, there can be some gas on it when I'm done, but usually very little. When purchased new, a McCuff comes with a case. Mine wore out a while ago so now it just goes in a Ziploc bag which goes in the trunk. I think the fact that I'm using a plastic bag which hasn't disintegrated supports the notion that very little gas is on it when I put it away.
