The early, abrupt bend in this filler tube makes fueling without spilling difficult, if not impossible.
Fueling is such a pain in the ass, my girlfriend is considering selling "Grace" b/c she can't fill 'er up (I have to, b/c there's no full serve around here).
Anyone know of a filler tube modification to solve this problem?
Tom, That seems a pretty elaborate fix. Was the fill rate always a concern on early Falcons? I don't recall ever hearing about it. I had 61, 63 and 69 Falcons with nary an issue back in the 70s. Is this possibly due to the vapor recovery fill nozzles in use today? or a higher flow rate a the pump? My inquiring mind would like to know.
Speaking of 20 minutes, that & a screwdriver were all it took to complete this simple fix - with elaborate results. Wow. Thanks tons, Tom
