And where would that be? the problem with a diesel is that if foams a lot. I think your shop teacher was thinking of http://www.epa.gov/donttopoff/ when he said it. It doesn't bother me because:

1. The pump nozzle after shutoff is withdrawn till it is about 3 - 4 inches into the neck and I can see it. It will not feedback into the tanks although I have never seen a system that will if you do it like that.

2. I am careful with the filling so there is no spill issue

3. We are dealing with diesel so there is hardly any vapor, if any at all.

4. See #1

That is a little high or is that the spec for that vehicle?
