That was one of my big beefs with the car too, and the main reason I sold 
it. The tank is vertical on the 4k's for extra trunk room, (Right 
andrew?? You realize we arent going to let this one die easily) and the 
filler tube is horizontal. I found that if you put the nozzle in almost 
upside down, you can get it to go in fairly well. I think mine was 
somewhere around the 11:00 position for best fuel delivery.
