Trouble at the pump

Quote from Oomp

Looking at the picture of the EBay item a little closer, and reading some of the reviews, it seems that the pump nozzle has a groove on it, that is exposed when you push back the rubber booty. The hole in the card is not a straight slot, but rather it looks like the slot is larger on one side. It seems like the slot allows you to slip it over the pump nozzle, and then slide the card to the side and hook the smaller radiused side onto the groove on the pump nozzle.

It looks like I need to bring some calipers with me, and take some measurements of the pump nozzle. I have some marine grade plastic in my shop. I can make a card to match the EBay one easily.

seriously, just use your free hand and hold the seal part back - - you dont need to make or carry some special tool to do this

But how do you hold onto your cigarette if you need both hands to hold the gas nozzle?

With your lips....

With your hand holding the thing back.

Works every time!

I ran across those pump nozzles a few times on my 2 wheeler. Pain in the ass but just pulled the rubber back.

Let me know when you're selling them, Ill take one.

......oh yes if they are being sold , I'll take one also

All this talk about trouble at the pump and rubber boots...

Only problem I had at the pump was putting it on in the dark.

And if rubber boots were so hard to defeat...

How is it that most of you are even here to talk about it on the forum?

....all I know is I personally experienced this pain in the azz scenario at a gas station and all that I had to go thru just to get some gas, makes this worth it should I ever experience that again....

Well I need another one of these gizmos in my truck. Of course you can two-hand the nozzle and make it work but who's going to scratch my ass? Seriously though, I went to fill my cans for my mower, tractor and excavator and by the time I filled two six gallon, one 5 gallon and one 2 gallon gas cans, and two 5 gallon diesel cans my hands were cramping up and my wallet was empty. My hands are better now. Wallet's still empty.

If I were to beg could I get the stl file?

Twelve minutes to machine three pieces the size of a credit card.

I am sure throwing it in the cubby in the dash is going to be a huge waste of time. How will I ever fit anything else in the cubby with this thing in the taking up all that space? I will probably be fumbling around to find it when I need it. I will probably get less gas mileage lugging it around. I don't know if I will ever use it because I am always in such a rush when I am pumping gas. Oh my, what a foolish waste of my time.

Maybe add a hole for your key-ring?
