Here are my two cents on the new fuel pump nozzle dilemma:



First, I highly recomend the goose neck extension.  It makes fueling a

breeze.



Second, there is a product on the market which can make fueling with

this type of nozzle easier.  I have seen it in the Mid America

Corvette catalogue (long before I came to my senses and bought a

Pantera).  It is a flat device, either metal or plastic, with three

different sized holes in it.  You slide the nozzle into the correct

sized hole and somehow it will lock into place, holding up the rubber

spring loaded hose.  It isn't very expensive, but I would still

recomend shelling out the $100 on the gooseneck extension.  If anyone

wants the info on Mid America, let me know.
