Back to the issue at hand...the TSB is something that they should be able to do with a little notice...not sure if it is a while you wait thing though- I had it done while in for other work.

Interestingly enough, I had no problems, for the most part, until around 55K miles and then it started cutting off early. Since I almost always filled at not just the same station but literally the same pump, I mentioned it and the local dealership fixed it via the TSB procedures.

The TSB requires them to order parts, so you have to set up the appointment in advance.

Hence my reference to 'a little notice.'

However, the way it was described, it was something that could be done while cooling the heels for an hour and looking at inventory on hand.

What are those tools called?

Many of them are just homemade. This one is made by a motorcycle accessory company.

This tool from the same company looks better. Plastic, won't scratch.

However, the new nozzles at my gas station work differently. The nozzle MUST be inserted far enough into the filler to push a thin cone back towards the handle.

I'll take a picture later...
