Difficulty fueling

With the capless filler it doesn't create a decent seal causing me to always have to hold the nozzle tight to prevent shutoff. Common?

I have to turn the nozzle upside down to prevent it from shutting down. I'll take it in someday.

Makes me think it is not uncommon.

I have the capless on my Boss, and really have no issues. Some nozzles are more difficult than others at times.

Zero issues on my 350.

In CA, many stations have overused nozzles that aren't maintained/replaced. It's bad enough with normal gas caps, but worse with the capless filler, about 70% of the time I need to hold the nozzle and even when I remove the nozzle, a lot more drops of gas seems to hit the fuel door/gas cap area.

I agree. When out of state have I never had a issue. Only in CA gas stations with the new type nozzles that are supposed to catch gas vapors.

No problems with my GT350. I did have a Ranger years ago that needed the gas tank switched out due to a faulty vent...I couldn't pump more than 5 seconds or so without the pump clicking off.

Same thing I noticed. I have issues with the newer nozzles as well. No issue with older and worn nozzles.

Fueling

I purchased my 350 in Las Vegas, on the trip home to Oregon I had a hell of a time fueling in California. Since I've made it home no issues ????

Texas had those vapor recovery things a few years ago. On certain cars I did have issues at times. Texas no longer has them though and no issues as I stated above.
