Then I put in eight gallons only. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | When I was young and working at a gas station, I remember that most of the cars would produce a whistle which would let you know when it was almost full. I can't remember whether that was a function of the pump or the car. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 455 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 455 | When the gas comes up to getting full, I always press the rubber boot against the inlet mouth with the free hand and release the pump lever.
You have to wait at least 10 seconds in that position for all the gas to return from inside the booth back into the tank.
Then slowly pull out the nozzle and with the other hand and a rag catch any remaining drops.
You get used to the procedure after a short while and never have any spills or drips again.
Some pumps still have the old no-booth-exhaust system, then you just gotta press a rag around the tank inlet.
I thought these are outlawed by now everywhere. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 | sure takes awhile to get the smell off your hands or out of the truck.......gotta take it slow and easy,, method works on a lot of stuff

Got a separate switch to kill the power to the coil.
