    Since the fuel tank can be a bit stubborn due to the design I've found that filling just a little bit then going for a short drive and trying again usually helps.

    See the flange where you're putting your nozzle at 12 on that flange use a punch and punch two holes . They'll be close to a quarter inch holes or such I can usually run on high to 6.4 gallons then half squeezing to get to 8.4 takes me about 1.5 min to gas up SE USA
