Petrol pump

[wilsarnie]

How do you work the petrol pump so that you can have it filling the tank without you needing to hold the trigger down all the time?

I've heard it can be done. I've also seen the clip on the trigger but can't figure out how to work it. Am assuming it'll unclick itself when the pump clicks to say the tank is full?

[Impret-Sir]

I dont believe that pumps in this country can be made to do that, it is considered dangerous.

They're generally only used for high-speed pumps such as you'd find for HGVs.

Esso garages still have them.

The Esso near us doesn't.

They all use to do this some years ago but some clowns did not watch them or put the nozzle in properly and flooded the forecourt with highly explosive petrol!

The filler cap on my Golf is designed to sit in the pump handle and keep the trigger pressed - there is even a picture of it in the manual. Genius.

[wilsarnie]

That IS genius slimjim. Think I may go out and but a golf now just for that alone! ;)

[wilsarnie]

As much as I would like to 'but' a Golf I actually meant buy!

Petrol doesn't explode,it burns.
