If you are pumping E10 water should never be an issue since the water will dissolve in the fuel.

I like the lowest auto shutoff position. Most of my fills are less than 10 gallons and if the guy with the 30 gallon tank in a SUV can't wait, then I guess he can go to another pump or another station.

I also fill up 5 gallon jugs (full pump speed) for a total fill of 20-25 gallons, use the extra jugs for the bikes and fill each to exactly 5 gallons for mileage calculations. Last time it was $77, and most times that last me more than a month.

Do not overfill or you can get liquid fuel in your charcoal cannister and spend big bucks for a replacement.

I used to use a chock on the left rear wheel on my VX to get the additional 1.5 inches of elevation for consistent fills. In the wifes Murano you could slowly add 3 gallons after the pump auto shut off because the filler neck was about 6 feet long.
