IDK if modern gas pumps are different, Im not as old as some of you guys. If you hold the pump down at full blast like normal, it backfills into the tube pretty quickly and shuts off the pump. It will also splash you if you are standing there. So rather than being able to put the lock on it and wait it out, I have to sit there and babysit the thing. Varying pressure when I hear it filling the tube. To get it full in either car I have to hold the pump and just about 20% throttle and let it creep up.
Anyone ever retrofit a modern style splash guard into a classic car fuel filler? I would certainly be willing to put in the work to swap one if there was one on the market.

I have same issue with my 72 pontiac full size. I just fill at the first click on the handle and no issues. If I try to fill at full force it shuts off.
