    YUP! I am about to buy those little plastic ramps, and back up to the pump on them to get my butt up as high as I can. Then that gas will go right on in no problem.

    i am liking that ramp idea! probably going to be easier then messing around with trying all the possible ways to hold the nozzle and how far in it should be with how much the trigger is pulled
