I made a "Gush Protector"

[ew1usnr]

If gas is pumped into the tank too fast it can gush up the filler neck and the spilled gas ruins the paint below the fill hole. I made a spout to convey the spilled gas away from the car and over the bumper.

I cut the corner out of a one gallon plastic milk jug and made a spout to fit below the fill hole. The curvature of the corner forms a channelized spout.

The spout snaps in place and the top is cut in a curve to fit around the fill hole. The screw threads fit against the top edge of the bumper and create a small tension against the fill hole edge to hold the spout in place.
