Nope, works normally UNTIL I want to remove the nozzle, THEN I need to rotate the nozzle upside down to avoid gas dripping on the car while removing it.....

On very rare occasions, I have had to turn the handle upside down to get it to keep pumping. But I think it was an older nozzle design. I have about 4 places that I get gas in the area where I live, and none of them require me to do this.

Yes and on my truck too! The one station I go to most of the times has this problem. When I go to other stations, sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. I am not happy to have to do this.

Yep, I always have to feed the Corvette with the upside down vertical nozzle.
That's the only way she takes it, but WOW, does it ever fill quickly.
I also found this method fills the tank completely. The tank cannot be 'topped off'.

Is that a good thing with the evap system in the car? I thought we don't want to risk fuel getting into the evap canister?

Don't know. Never needed additives so it's still in it's bag somewhere in the garage next to the paper manual. Another thing I have not found a use for is the front license plate bracket. Probably clear them out someday when I am bored.
