Great suggestion. Along these lines, I had some other feedback on a Nissan related forum. The poster's comments to refilling were these:
"Filling to the rim still wont help if the fuel opening is on the low side of the car. Air will collect on the other side and it has no where to get out. You can fill it to the rim with no air if the fuel side is the higher side."
Do you think we should have some sort of ramp to drive up on during filling, just under the two tires of the side of the car's fuel filler? I'm thinking along the lines of a wooden plank. Comments are welcome.
