Default Thinking about.........

.....cutting the bottom out of the cup that the fuel cap screws into.
&nbsp\\;
These things are a pain in the *** to get fuel in.&nbsp\\; My theory is that I can better agle the gas hose to let the sides of the cup knock some pressure off the fuel instead of just shooting it straight into the tank.
&nbsp\\;
What say you?&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Would this work? Be any better than the yellow puck thingy for $20?
&nbsp\\;
08 SG.&nbsp\\; This is the only thing that I have to complain about.

It's an 08 Street Glide.&nbsp\\; Not sure what years and models have the same cap assembly.
&nbsp\\;
The best analogy to describe would be a dixie cup with a whole in the bottom that a gas nozzle would fit through and three eeny weeny vent holes. Cut the bottom of the cup out and I could angle the fuel nozzle to "whirlpool" against the side and fill er to the top with out spraying straight down and splashing everywhere as the tank nears full..
&nbsp\\;
It seems that cutting the bottom out would risk a lot of plastic filings falling in the tank.
