Thanks for the update, Lug Nut.

I've been mulling over the filling method issue. Maybe another way to do it would be to fill the tank into the neck, and use a dipstick to note the level (without coming right to the top where the evap tube opening usually is).

It wouldn't avoid the problem of fuel expansion, but it would at least avoid putting faith in "1st click" being consistent from pre-competition fill to post-competition fill.
