So as many of you, i got VERY tired of holding my license plate while filling up. not only did it always smack back up and make me spill a little but it seemed like i ALWAYS have to tilt the pump handle a little to get it to run continually.
i always saw a "refueling assistant" advertised in quadratec for $45. this just gave me to idea to make it myself.
this is quadratecs product

This is my variation of that.
all parts i had lying around and i got this done in less than an hr on a thurs night at around 730pm.
started with some left over parts from the shopping cart i cut up over a yr ago to make a welding cart.
i cut a piece out and bent it at a 90. i bent most by hand then just put it in the vice and wacked it a couple times with a mallet
now for the mounting to the license plate bracket i just grabbed some spare flat steel i had lying around.
i cut it to size and drilled the holes where i needed (the license plate mounting screws hold it on)
