-this a legacy of the gas crisis of the 70's. they were mandated by the
gummit to prevent folks from putting leaded gas in "new" cars made during
that time w/catalytic converters. As, at the time, leaded gas was cheaper
than unleaded.
the spirl prevented the leaded nozzel from going far enuff in to make an
air tight seal for the vapor recovery.
