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
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!

I thought this was common knowledge?

Every time when my gas gets done I have to undo the auto latch and then remove the pump. It's all done with the flow of the gas somehow. Presumably when the pressure increases by x against the flow, then it triggers it to stop. (Increase in pressure is created by the gasoline level getting high enough to reach the end of the nozzle.)

what happens when the tank is full on this method? does it just keep pouring and overflow? [/ QUOTE ] No, it stops. When you're holding it, what happens? LDO... [ QUOTE ] also my gas tank cover is attached to the car I think [/ QUOTE ] 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.
