[C320-list] diesel fueling question

[sholdr at aol.com]

perhaps the fuel vent line is plugged so air has to exit the filler when refueling. I use a large funnel to pour into the fuel filler and never have blowback. 1997 #322

Try the Lifeguard LG-100. We put one in about 10 years ago and have never had a spill since.

I have a 1995 C320 and struggle to fill the fuel tank without spillage. On this model year the filler is located under the aft, starboard railing seat and no matter how sloooooowly I try adding fuel, it foams up, blows out the filler and needs to be caught in absorbent pads. Any suggestions on how to make this a less eventful operation?
