Thanks Mike,

I thought it was just me!  I haven't been able to get gas in my Tiger for years
without getting gas all over..   Well, I don't drive it much so years is not 
much
gas but its one reason I don't drive it much.  I didn't realize there were 
different
nozzels and I always get gas at the same place..
Now, why don't these "new" ones work?  Why do they spray gas when they
don't seal?  What a great polution maker!!

Lately I have stopped at a couple of Chevron stations in SoCal 
with a new kind of vapor recovery gas nozzle. The bellows and spout are quite 
short. Attempting to gas up the Tiger through the standard flip-lid gas filler 
is nearly impossible. Gas spills out no matter how hard you try to seal the 
bellows, even with considerable pressure against the filler neck.  Or it 
keeps shutting off. Fortunately there are other brand stations with the more 
typical style of nozzle, but one wonders if this is now a new required type 
being phased in. Anybody else run into this problem?
