how do you fill up
sitting here reading along happily and thought i havent seen a thread on how you fill your tank. do you pump it until it is in the filler neck stop at the click, round up . shake the nozzle for every last drop?
my car you are suppose to stop at the click if you fill it into the neck the extra will run down the canister vent and into the canister where it ruins it. so i stop at the click and then give a couple of shakes to make sure i got everything i paid for. is there a method that could lead me to easier calculations?

I use the second notch on the handle to keep the fuel flowing (not the fastest setting). I fill till it clicks off, let it settle a while, fill slow till it clicks again and then round to the nearest 10 cents.

I stop after the 1st click followed by a 90 degrees rotation of the nozzle to the left and right.

My tank filler is vertical. I've removed the tank expansion vent (my tank is vented as its a diesel), so I fill the tank until the level is three inches from the top.
