*** car has the no cap fill tube***
So I am going back over seas for another 5-7 months. I wanted to put some octane booster and fuel treatment in while the car goes back into the garage. Wife cant drive a stick so shes just gonna start it once a week or so.
Went to put in the octane booster in at the fuel tank... drained the WHOLE bottle in the fill tube thinking it opened BUT it didn't and it all went out the over fill tube or vent w/e it is. So i realized that there are 2 lil tabs in the fill tube that i guess unlock the fill tube to open. No biggie I bought another bottle of booster and a funnel. Cut the funnel down to where when I put it in the fill tube it pushes the 2 tabs in but the fill tube didn't open... GRRRR get a long screw driver and push the fill tube thing open and then pour the octane booster in no issues.
Is there any special funnel out there for this? something I can just push into the fill tube and not have to use a screw driver?
here is a lil video to help. its not the best but it will do.
