I know this from experience...Takes forever to pump 400, to 600 gallons at a time into my Freightliner, with the small nozzle.
I hogged out the filler neck on my Excursion so it could use the bigger nozzle. However, has anyone hogged out the filler neck to remove that stupid web so we can use the larger nozzles? This is because the small nozzles are way in the back where you are more exposed to the elements than the larger nozzles. Also if others are using it, you are SOL since there are only 2 small nozzles and sometimes one is broke.
