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.

I always use the gloves as well, as I can't stand the stench of diesel.  ::)

How the hell people manage to get it all over the handle, I'll never know...  :-\

They can be a bit of a nuisance at times.

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

No. But I have a small pin on my keys that I poke into the holes on the nozzle  ::) Just don't make it obvious as they'll knock the pump off if they see what you're doing.  ::) ::)

I didn’t realise anywhere in UK had them. Very useful in the States.

the latch is normally still there but the roll pin across that it latches on have all been removed. Very useful when you're filling a 93 litre tank.  :y

Because we are not to be trusted with such technology.. I mean, look, the OP managed to get diesel on his shoes even without such advanced latching technology! ;) ;D

Even I remember the latches .. and I'm not that old. I still forlornly try to latch the pump occasionally, but I never thought about carrying my own roll pin! :y

I can see some of our more "Albs" members coming home wondering where their keys are. And an attendant at the garage wondering why there's a set of house keys attached to his pump  :-X :D
