Default Fuel spill

Now that I think that I've got my breath after reading Shannon's post........................has anyone checked out this product? http://mccuff.com.
I went ahead and ordered one, because I'm tired of spilling gas all over my tank, no matter how hard I try not to!

I just pay more attention to what I am doing and try not to sight see too much. I still get distracted by long legs and jiggles in all the right spots every once in awhile. If I splatter a little gas I just blot it up with paper towels. If there are no paper towels I use the dollars I am paying for the gas with.

When I first saw this product I thought it was DUMB but the new equipment required to meet California's New Vapor Recovery always leaks. We own a station and the only approved nozzles always leak some fuel from the boot. I thought it was a personal problem so I checked out competition and they all have the same problem. I asked a tech about it and it only effects Motorcycles and people filling gas cans.

So I am now considering the little yellow McCuff.

Don't have a problem myself but if it works might get one for the wife who's a bit nervous about using the pump.&nbsp\\; If you think about it post a review after you've used it for awhile.

No problems myself...

I always grab a handful of paper towels from the squeegee bin, wad them up and cover the nozzle on the way to the tank, and again on the way back to the pump. Then throw paper towels away. If a little gas does get by you have a handful of paper towels at the ready.
