............. PS:  I was looking up why my van backwashes gas all over
my shoes when I fill
up.  If anyone has discovered a cheap AND easy new solution, let me
know.....
Bill. I had the same problem with my '85.  No problem with my '90!  I
think that it is because I've taken to inserting the pump nozzle all the
way into the filler tube and NOT trying to top off, just quit when the
auto-shutoff trips.  I just leave it at that rather than trying to get
another little bit into the tank.  Of course, when I'm in Oregon, their
fully automated filling system (mindless robot that stands by the fuel
pumps and jumps to action when you pull up) has to be overridden using
loud voice commands to avoid the 'wash your shoes' problem.
