You just have to play with it and keep your patience......it comes out and goes back in, just not always easily. Part of me wanted to get a sawzaw and cut the hole bigger but it wasn't my car so I struggled through and finally went in.

Sounds good. I think i will be ok. Although, i doubt i will have less than a half a tank of fuel. I might be able to get close to half, but i doubt it would be below that....

Mine was done with 3/4 of a tank - I had no gas mess, you will be fine.

Na its cool. Your av is 8. Technically, i stole the concept Although, whats funny is that it looks like yours has its headlights on for the pic. When i originally took the pics, i took a bunch of them to see which one i liked the best. My next closest pic that i was gonna use had the headlights on. Although, on the other message boards im on, i did use a similar shot only the running lights were on, not the headlights.

Thanks Trav.
