Come on guys.. stop the California bashing. It's a great state (well except for a lot of the Southern half). I have also had issues with nozzle fit in WA and AZ. W/I improperly designed the fuel fill opening, and CA did not allow for it's use. W/I has apparently not offered any help with resolving this?
As per the link I posted above, some options include moving the inlet outboard and tilting slightly downward with shims. I'll try that first so that I don't have to carry another thing for a single use. If that doesn't work, I'll modify an oil can spout to extend the nozzle, and add some method of compressing the rubber cuff without spending $20 for a McCuff.
The southern half of California? That's one of the best parts (don't tell anybody). The lack of humidity, beautiful sunny skies..... California is one of my favorite states and I could have bought a second home anywhere. I love the desert as I've been going in the winter for almost 25 yrs.
I would never cut down someone else's home town/state as everyone of our 50 states has something positive to offer. Gett'n ready to head to Michigan this summer as my nephew is marrying a girl from that area (they live in the south like me). Can't beat nice Michigan summer temps and water front property in the middle of summer.
California is the leader in emission controls and there is a reason. Have any of you ever seen a city the size of Los Angeles before catalytic converters? The clean air acts have turned most polluted cities around 100%. In the old days, the smog was so thick in LA that you couldn't see the houses along the side from the freeway. It's a whole different world now and continually getting better.
