Lazy way to pump gas
 

Gas pumps which don't have an auto-hold feature or whatever it's called piss the hell out of me. A while ago I discovered a way to auto-pump gas and not have to stand there holding the handle like a tool. Being the great guy I am, I am now relaying this discovery to everyone on the internet:

Re: Lazy way to pump gas
 

what happens when the tank is full on this method? does it just keep pouring and overflow?

also my gas tank cover is attached to the car I think

Are you serious Apathy? Pumps have an auto shutoff feature.

Also, this wouldn't work with my car since the cover is attached by a plastic cable.

This is a pretty awesome idea tho!

No, it stops. When you're holding it, what happens? LDO...

Mine is, too. It is on a string thing but the string thing is long enough for this. Unless yours has a tiny string (never had a car with a really small one), this should work.

You can see the plastic cable attached to the filler cap in the rear. It's not obvious in the picture, but it's there.

I am also very angered by the gas pump with the broken automatic feature. You win at life for thinking of this.

Im going to try this today, they dont have the auto pump things in Ontario and I always get jealous when Im road tripping through the states that Americans get to be lazier then me.

I thought this was common knowledge?
