Default Gas Station Fail!

No description, I just saw it on the news on a gas price special or something.
See for yourself.

they are supposed to but sometimes the mechanism that makes it automatically stop fails and you get floods of gasoline

lol thats retarded

they really don't??

ours can be triggered so you don't have to hold it the whole filling process and there's a small hole in the nozzle outlet, where a sensor measures if theres flowing any air in it.....if the outer air flow stops (when the tank is full), the trigger gets released and the filling process stops.




so you have your hands free to scratch on your sack or do whatever you want while you wait till your car's filled up xD

Please don't say it's not like that in the States as well.....


@Invader Zim

just read your answer after posting....thanks for the information

so I got it right, they should stop, but sometimes or mostly are broken?

never happened to me.

its not that they are mostly broken. there are only a few that are and they usually get replaced quickly. (i have personally never got a broken one but have seen other people get them) the things that are mostly broken over here are the little bump things on the handle that hold it open. you usually have to used the gas cap to hold it open lol
