Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / August 2006Refueling '64 CDR.
I'm still having problems refueling my car, what with the fume recovery hoses that came out years since the car was made. (Fellow at the next pump with '65 Malibu hs same problems.) The contact is an oval cross-section rubber doughnut with the accordion piece above it. The doughnut hardly covers the metal pipe and any gap will cause a leak or it not pump. Left about a half-cup of fuel on the concrete this morning. Anyone found a solution? Karl (California fuel laws and systems) I have not had that problem as around here (NC) we don't yet have that type of fuel filler nozzle. Would a funnel of some sort help?

In 1993 I drove across the country, and somewhere out west (Arizona or New Mexico I think, in some Indian reservation) I stopped to fill up. I grabbed the regular nozzle and it wouldn't fit in the filler, much to my surprise it was LEADED regular! Jeff DeWitt > Hey Jeffster, > > We done away wiff dat dare LEADE GISE near 'bout 30 year ago! In the early 80s I coasted into a gas station out of gas. (Not uncommon for me.) The unleaded tank at the station was as dry as mine., so I started to fill my 1976 car with the leaded, using a socket from my tool-box to hold the flapper down. The attendant came over and made me stop. I asked if I could borrow his emergency gas can. He loaned it to me. I filled the can with leaded and poured it into the tank. I was happy, he was satisfied, and the wife was pissed off that I had gotton away with running out of gas, again, without having to walk. (You remember my tale about running out of gas twice in one weekend, don't you?)

Seem like I remember an extension that would fit over the pump nozzle so you could filler up with leaded gasoline . I also used a pair os needle nose licing pliers and knocked a few of them reducers out with a big screwdriver. Unleaded fuel will cause a catalic converter to plug in about 2 tank fulls.

When I got ready to sell it, I reinstalled the original stuff (with only 100k miles or so on it) and it squeaked pass the smog test. I don't know that I would try that with a FI car now, Jerry, but the '64 CDR is my only car.

SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com Push down, start pumping, then slowly raise the nozzle, very slowly. At some point it will shut off, as it senses, because of fumes a full tank. Withe the nozzle still in the filler hole. Push down on your bumper two or three times, wait till car comes to rest and start pumping again. Here in our area, if you pull the hose and nozzle out of your car, and raise it above a predetermined height, the pump sh.ts off, and you need to start the process.

I had the whole nation to choose from when I returned from overseas six years ago and settled here. Marilyns son ried to get us to move to the Portland area, but his wife often mentioned the 25 straight days of rain from last winter. We didn't have 25 rays total! I'm thinking of making a doughnut of a soft, smooth surface 1/8" fuel-resistant material to go between the nozzle rubber the the tank inlet for a better seal.
