Tom... I have had the same problem with my syncro and have posted it to the list, but no one ever responds... I figured I was the only one with the problem. It fills about 3/4 of the way as you said and then clicks off... further attempts to fill make it click off immediately. But I can fill it if I go excruciatingly slowly... so slowly you can count the pennies go by. Takes forever. With an attendant I can imagine it's even a worse headache. Anybody have any suggestions?

Garsh, my first posting! I have an '87 Westy Synchro and if I don't tell the attendant to top it off, I wind up with 3/4 or less of a tank full. I don't do it myself because Oregon has laws against self-serve (Suicide is legal here, but pumping our own gas is not). Is this a known problem? Tom Salicos '87 Westy '76 Std Bug
