I remember a thread awile back about the Gas pump nozzles in California being a pain in the rear. I remember having an adaptor that holds the fume collector hose back. I came across it the other day. I haven't lived in California in 17 years, it has been sitting in a drawer all this time.

It looks different but seems to serve the same purpose?
I just hold the handle with my right hand and pull back the vapor collar with the fingers of my left hand.
No biggie.

I have that patent protected Pat, you are the first one I can collect on. Maybe I can get a few more at the WCR??? Crap!!! I only have a patent on holding with the left hand and using the right hand fingers to hold back the collar. As you were, you are safe Pat.

Tool :rofl: :rofl:
Just got back from San Fran, and I rented a car while there. I went to fill the tank up before returning and was really surprised how much force is required on that nozzle to get the gas to flow. On a bike, I can imagine it would be a real PITA. -CA really is it's own brand of crazy.

The tools are the ones that need the tool to fill their tanks..... :bad:
