Gravity Fill

We had our first tank refill on the road, and I elected to use the gravity fill because I don’t have a pressure regulator for the ‘tank fill’ port yet. I discovered that the owner’s manual is incorrect when it says that the tank will let you know when it’s full by venting and draining under the vehicle. At least with the gravity fill port, it just backed up into the footwell that you see here, so I had a little cleanup. (Actually, I've found that it will drain under the vehicle if you fill it more slowly.)

If you’re going to do gravity fills, then I recommend getting one of these. As you can see here, it has a shutoff valve, which makes it easier to do by yourself without crimping the hose.
