Aside from the fact that I'd have to remove the entire rear fender and probably the gas tank to get to the flap, the engine management computer will generate a fault code if the flap isn't sealed.

You know, that would probably work, since it's a more "automated" (and I use that term loosely) way of doing what I was when I was poking the flap with my pen.quote:

I'll repeat what I've been doing for awhile now, seems to work well enough. I zip-tied a popsicle stick (licked clean by my son of course) to the top of the LC/FP bottle. Flip the top, poke open the flap with the stick, squeeze away. Haven't had any messes yet (other than my son letting the popsicle melt all over the place
).

i just carry a screwdriver and a paper shop towel. poke open the little flap with the s/d, squirt in the fp, wipe off the s/d, and fill up.
for my motorcycle i have one of those little 4oz bottles that had stabil in it. i use the lc/fp bottle to reload.
when i'm trying to get the lc into tight places (transmission), i use an old, 2 oz contact solution bottle.

I use a small funnel called a "spill saver". it has one portion that is extended so that you can pour your liquid into the funnel easier when it sticks out sideways like out of the gas filler. it works great.
I have a suggestion for LCD. what if you printed the measurements on the small dispenser bottle upside down and measured them from the top of the bottle (cap side) so that you could measure how much your are pouring while the bottle is upside down, which is the way the bottle is actually used.
right now to measure using the bottle you look at the bottle right side up for your reference measurement, the turn the bottle upside down and pour a guessed amount out then turn the bottle back upright and check to see how much you actually poured. this process is repeated until you pour out the correct amount. you are always guessing as you are pouring.
if the markings were upside down you would just turn the bottle upside down pour out how much you need because you can measure as you are pouring. no need to flip and check after a guess.

Tom Slick, that's EXACTLY the funnel I use and was trying to describe. That is the right tool for the job!
