Has anyone relocated their filler location to the inside of the trunk for modern gas pumps in the early A's? I'm curious if there's products to complete this idea or how others have done so.
I'll give it a shot! I usually just kneel down and press in and hold for like, 12 gallons.. i saw a ford falcon where some guy relocated the neck into the trunk and put a modern cap on. was wondering if that would be a way to goAlso......
If you are having trouble fueling with modern pumps, try holding the gas nozzle upside down next time. (hose pointing up)
It works for me.
sounds like my first girlfriendI think this is uniquely a California problem as we have small nozzles and the vapor boot. I just shove it in as hard as I can and hold it, I do not depend on it hanging there on its own.

New guy here, 63 Valiant Convertible. I have the CA pumps but I can get gas to pump with it upside down but it only takes a little fuel and then dumps out all over the place. today i ran out of gas with my experienced mechanic with me in the car and then went to the station and it took 4 gallons before dumping out. I let it sit and then tried again with the same result. Any thoughts? Could a vent line be plugged or something preventing more gas from going in?I'll give it a shot!

If you were holding it at 'full trigger', try half trigger.
The fuel neck opening around the fuel nozzle should allow air to pass easily, so it should not be a venting issue.
Modern pump flow on full trigger can be too fast for older filler necks though.
