Not always easy to do with some of the high speed pumps around here.
It's a real PITA with my motorcycles and my old '78 square body pickup too.
Twice as bad if they have that damn condom on the nozzle that has to be pulled back.

OP

just fill at the slow setting. Hold nozzle firmly against the tank orifice. I find the 5 or 7 o'clock position works best for me using these CA "vapor recovery" type nozzles.

IDK how well the McCuff thing works on "vertical" entrance gas fill vs the "top" fill of a motorcycle tank. Never used or seen one
