Filling the Yaris with Gas from a Gas Can
I was trying to fill my Yaris with gas I earned with fuel perks today with one of the new gas cans. What a joke. I couldn't get it to stop leaking at the gasket and the flow out of the can, well it is more of a dribble. I saw this video as a "work around" these issues. I thought I would check and see if any of you out there have a better solution.

And, that just reminded me that I was running on fumes this evening. Here's a show of it in action:

And Crashy!
The Celica is mine. The Lotus belongs to a client. He installed a turbo kit on it that came with a custom standalone ECM. The standalone doesn't support any type of OBD comm and the car is due for emissions testing (which is done here by OBD). I developed a device which emulates the OEM ECM and interfaces to all of the sensors, thus allowing a vehicle with a standalone to be fully OBD compliant.

Try filling the tank with an actual racing fuel can like the VP one! You spill fuel at 15 bucks a gallon and it actually puts you in a state of shock! I wonder if I could use that apparatus that Scott uses?

My rig would work fine for you (particularly since you are not doing pit style crazy fast refuels).
At $15 a gallon, I would park the car on a large pan and use a turnkey baster to pick up every spilled drop.
