Refueling
I thought I would offer this for what it's worth.
I always dreaded refueling my Tudor because of gas splashing on the paint and windshield. The pumps at the gas stations deliver at high volume / pressure -with little ability to adjust the nozzle. It seems the nozzle would be either full on or full off, with little middle ground. The spark arrestor could never handle the flow and there was always some gas splashing out. This is aggravated here in New Jersey where it is illegal to pump your own gas.
I recently picked up a wheeled 14 gallon portable fuel container that has a siphon pump with nozzle. The hose provides at-the-nozzle control and two shutoff valves; one at the tank and the other on the hose.
Now I take the container to the gas station in my other vehicle and refuel the Tudor at home. No more splashing of gas on the paint!
I hadn't seen a container like this before (of course, I probably wasn't looking, either). At any rate, I thought I would share this as a possible solution for others with the same concern.
