Gas filling, 700 Grizzly
#1
--
If you are having problems with not being able to hit the hole with the gas nozzle at the gas station, or with a gas can, I have an easy solution. I haven't had that problem with the Grizzly, but I was having that problem with my Polaris as the gas would leak all over the tank.
The solution is to take a plastic bottle with a long spout (I used a chemical spray bottle), cut off the bottom, and invert it in the fill spout of the gas tank. This moves the "hole" you have to hit up in the air within easy reach of anything. One caution, you may have to hold the makeshift spout if you touch it with the nozzle as it isn't fastened down. Be sure to use a bottle/spout that will go inside the hole. Also, be sure the plastic you use isn't dissolving when the gas hits it.
I also have a plastic spout I bought at the auto parts store that is made for that sort of use, but I usually forget to bring it on my trips.
