Shell diesel pump did not cut off
« on: 25 February 2020, 14:45:37 »

Just filled up - diesel pump did not cut off so spilled over car onto forecourt and over one shoe. Never happened to me before - reported it but got the impression they were not going to race out with sand. Bloody annoying - newish pumps as well.

Oh dear! And you get to smell diesel on your hands for ages after.
It's not something that's ever happened to me & I normally latch the trigger on when filling my Merc ..... look! No hands  ::)

I wear the rather fetching plastic gloves available at most forecourts.

Happens occasionally, on just about every car I've ever owned.  Can be the fault of the pump, the car, or a combination of both (must likely)

They still have the latches your way?  They were all removed down this way once stupidity took over from common sense.
