>I have an 84 GL, and everytime I fill her up, she spits at me.< Filling my 89 Syncro Westy is a real PITA... at least if I want to fill it all the way to the top. No spitting, but there is some kind of constriction that doesn't allow the gas to enter the tank correctly... hence, after the pump clicks off, I can add another 3-4 gallons, but only if I go VEERRRRY SLOWLY... like ten to twenty cents at a squeeze before she clicks off again. The gas then slowly drains into the tank and I can do it again. Wouldn't bother to do it most of the time, but if I want a full tank, that's what I have to do.
