I've only filled my GMC with gas once several years ago, and the experience left me with about 2 gallons of gas on me,the coach, and the cement pad around me. I used a 2" cutoff from a foam noodle to adapt the dispenser to the GMC filler. (a suggestion I found on the GMCnet) The dispenser did not cut off when full and pumped in extra gas...I figure expanding the tanks a little. When things didn't seem right to me, I manually shut it off and removed the nozzle. A lot of gas gushed out soaking me, the coach and the station pump.
I filled with fuel at the Arizona border before entering California. I plan to do some traveling here, so do not want to experience a spill like this again.
What did I do wrong and what is the proper way to fill the GMC with fuel in California?
