I am in the same boat as you with a three 105 gallon tanks. The locks are removed at the local marina also. I went to West Marine and bought 3 of these http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs...allpartial/0/0
They work great when pumping gas.

Also do all of the pumps around you kick off at $50 or $75 when you try to pay at the pump? What a pain in the AZZ.
Quite possibly my biggest pet peave. Can't even fill up the Excursion without swiping the card twice.

What use is "pay at the pump" when you have to go inside to get enough fuel. I replaced the stock tank on my Super Duty with a 40 gallon tank so $75 doesn't do crap.

When I had by boat built I had NT put 2 fill pipes on each side. Have actually pulled up to a station and have 2 pumping in each side. 450 gallons in 20 minutes and I'm on my way. :cool:

Always WAY over an hour. My tank is only 140 gallons, but the fastest I can set the nozzle is on the lowest setting, otherwise, it sprays back. It's like this from start to finish.
