I finally got fed up with the hassle of having to hold back the clumsy 
evaporative fuel filler nozzle here in CA every time I fill up my old 
R90/6, and started googling searches for some solution. I stuck gold 
when I landed on this post on the Adventure Rider forums:

Made By Inmates, For Inmates ? Gas Card

Here's a video showing just how simple this solution works:

I eventually tracked down an email address for Alex, the guy who thought 
this up:
www.advrider.com/f/threads/vapor-recovery-nozzle-tool-aka-gascard.647816/page-23#post-44246749



There he writes:
"Please Venmo or paypal to nilmez
If you use paypal please make it a Friends transaction so I can continue 
to offer free shipping.
One for $5 or five for $20, or any number in between."

I ordered 2 that arrived a few days back, and got the chance to try one 
out on a ride yesterday. I was wondering if it was going to work on the 
nozzles at all CA gas stations, so I stopped at a few stations I 
frequent just to test it. Sure enough, each nozzle had that slightly 
raised collar 4-5 inches from the end that the Gascard first slips over, 
and then slides down behind and locks.

I see these being sold on Ebay and other places on the net, and just 
wrote Alex again asking if he gets a cut on all sales. I'm guessing he's 
not. In his last email he asked if I could spread the word about his 
Gascards. So after texting a friend on Facebook, I immediately thought 
of the IBMWR lists, and all the CA riders folks on these lists know who 
might be interested. And CA's not the only state where cyclists could 
use these (see the map on the 1st link above).

I bought two, and slipped them into the pockets of my 2 motorcycle 
jackets. I couldn't be more pleased.
