Anyone see an issue when filling, the weight of the gas nozzle flexes the filler tube down causing the nozzle to keep punching off? I have to manually hold the nozzle up.

I'm not sure it's a problem with flexing of the filler tube. I think it might be more of an issue with a narrowing of the tube at the anti-syphon valve. If you pull the pump handle out about an inch or so it should run fine without you having to hold it up.

Correct. I do that too.

No problems here. I just put the nozzle in, set it to the fastest speed and let it go without me intervening.

I'll try that the next time I'm siphoning gas from my neighbors car and adding to my tank at my weekly midnight runs.

Hi there, I'd be happy to look into your Bronco concerns on my end. Will you send us a message with your VIN and dealership info? I can look into things on my end.

Just filled mine last night, nozzle didn't click off until tank was full. I should have clicked it off sooner myself, didn't want to spend the better part of $100.00.
