Went for a ride and saw that I needed my first refill of gas. Put EVAP Nozzle in as I always do with my other scooter. You know, hold that horrid rubber piece so it will flow. Well no matter how hard I tried to pull that stupid rubber thing up, the gas would not run. Tried for 5 minutes. Had to go to another gas station . This one had a flimsier rubber piece and a little longer nozzle. The opening for the EVAP Nozzle would not go all the way in , the cap was in the way. As with the other scooters, you can take the cap off.. Any one have the same problem? What did you do?
By the way with 2 bars left I got 86 miles.

There's a gizmo called McCuff that's designed to facilitate fill-ups. I've never used one but it looks like it could be handy - kind of expensive for what it is though (~$20). I just do it the old fashioned way... with a gas can.

I don't understand? I never stick the nozzle all the way in with any of my scooters and never have a problem with fill ups.

That was not the problem. The rubber piece would not pull back. It was too stiff. I always pull rubber piece back and put nozzle at top of filler hole and watch the gas reach the top so I do not overfill. Here in Ca. Each gas station has a different maker of nozzle and rubber piece. I will jut go to the gas station I always can trust. It was just I was not able to. I misjudged my mileage. I really like the McCuff but I don't want to pay $25.95. Thanks for your advice though

That is about right. If I run mine to empty I get around 100 miles.
