What will they think of next! I had no idea that spout extended!  I've been
carrying a  funnel for years to get around that problema.  I feel so
foolish! Nah, but at least I feel enabled now!  Even better than when I
discovered the master cylinder reservoir in the dash!  Those crafty Germans!

Thanks for the tip.
