    Hi - just morphed from a 997 turbo cab to a 2010 Cali. - does anyone have a problem with blow back when gassing up - can't seem to find a sweet spot angle for the pump nozzle. -

    My solution was to simply put the nozzle in sideways - worked every time.

    I've been having the same problem. I'll give this a try. Thanks!

    Same problem. Only pressing the trigger to the slow fueling speed (first detent) and/or rotating the nozzle 45 degrees to one side seems to work for me.

    I fill mine with the gas nozzle in upside down. Seems to solve the issue. Alternatively, if you use your other hand and pull the vapor shroud on the nozzle back slightly, it seems to do the trick also. But upside down seems easiest to me.
