FILLING THE GAS TANK

A little hint for those out there who still have carburated vehicles. If you have a charcoal cannister under the hood as part of the evaporative emmissions control system, then please, when your topping off the tank, when the nozzle clicks the first time, QUIT PUMPING. The danger of pumping more gas after that first click-off, is that extra gas will probably find its way to that said charcoal canister and said charcoal wil probably end up in the float bowl of said carburator, and start reaking havoc with your idle and low speed circuits. Meaning, the jets are blocked by the charcoal particles from the cannister. YEAAA FOR FUEL INJECTION.
