Most, but not all of the gas station filling nozzles stick in my gas filler when i try to remove them. They are very difficult to remove and requires a lot of pulling and twisting to get them out. This happens all the time, not one time as calendar shows.

I observed a owner trying to remove the gas station's filler hose after shut off without success. Once the vapor recovery hose nozel was inserted, the collar on the hose locked on the filler tube. It was extremely difficult to remove, so after jerking etc it finally came out. The problem is the angle of the tube and no clearance from the body of the pickup bed.the owner of the gas station said it was not the first…
