<VV> Filling tank in early model

[J R Read]

When filling my Rampy I hold the gas nozzle upside down.  Trigger portion 
up.  I look at the gauge before starting and estimate how much gas it will 
need.  When it is a gallon or so on the pump meter under my estimate, I put 
my ear close enough to the filler neck to be able to hear the gas flow.  As 
soon as I hear a gurgle I shut the pump nozzle off.

Works for me.

Later, JR
