Funny how that works, we had exactly that issue, idk if it's related to the first drop to low speed after fuel stop or what but it happened to us religiously. We actually went and spent an hour or so practicing stops, tried tuning changes etc and the no rev with the tank open strategy was all that worked. It even makes logical sense!

as for the fuel gun, we have a Pro Line model and on top of the fact that it leaks we used it for one stop and flamed in the pits! Needless to say no more trying that again til we can practice some with it!
