i recently went to fill up my tank with diesel and i wanted to put �20 in (company weekly allowance) and when i reached �17 the handle started clicking everytime i pulled the trigger so i gave up and left it at �17.02. I later mentioned this to my friend and she said that the handle was clicking because the tank was full, i later checked and the tank showed full. my question is, how did the pump know that my tank was full?

There is a small tube running parallel to the main hose, when one end is underthe fuel, Ie the tank is full then the pressure changes and the pump clicks off.

and it stopped you getting derv on your shoes.


loosehead's got it right, just look at the end of the noozle next time you fill up.
