Modern Vespa

Has anyone taken out that green restrictor? from the gas tank that doesn't allow you to get the gas nozzle in the tank for filling? It's next to impossible to get gas in slow enough and then you have to wait for it to make it into the tank, this is nuts and makes a huge mess if need to fill at the pump…

If you can't fit the nozzle in, you're filling with diesel! That's why it's there, to prevent that. But you can yank it out, just find or make some device that can hook it underneath and jerk it out.

Just stick the nozzle fully in, with the handle nearest the front of the bike, and stop when it clicks off. Do not try to 'top off'.

I took the green insert out of my Liberty 150
You can reinsert it doing it like the video.
some destroy it.

Removing these things has been a long-simmering topic.

Two thumbs up for the Vespa gas funnel

Its life changing especially if you fuel up at a station that uses "vapor recovery nozzles".
