Title: Filling up the other day......
Post by: Banjax on 13 August 2010, 00:10:27
.......used the time to clear rubbish out the boot and check the oil - guy came over and asked how do you get the pump to stay on? I thought jamming the petrol cap in the handle to keep the trigger pressed was common knowledge? I remember they used to have a wee clasp you could use to lock them on, pump automatically switches off when the tanks full anyway  :y

ps it was £91 to fill up :(

Zippo lighter used to be the classic way with derv pumps that had a broken lock.

if you look at the gun the holes are still there where the pin used to be fitted, and most guns still have the latch that would hold against the pin. Now .... if you were to supply your own pin ....... you'd still be able to lock the gun on 'fill'  :y  :y  :y  :y

Small allen key in one of those spring holder things on the car keys would do fine.

The biggest drawback with filling with lpg (apart from turning your hand into a block of freeze dried meat ;D) is having to stand with your digit pressed on the pumps fill button! :-/

Think I've got a couple of spares... I used to "collect" them from the same situation in the past before mine was tethered ::) ::)

I went back to the garage and had a look yesterday morning but no luck. Then about half a mile down the road - after a roundabout and a couple of sharp turns, I saw something lying at the side of the road, and there it was.Hadnt even been run over. :)
