Fuel rip off
If you Google this it seems the hose is always full and the cut off valve is at the hose head so lifting it higher than the filler cap should make no difference? A small amount may be left in the hose head but its probably minimal?

I don’t think it actually matters where the cut off is, in the sense that the only way fuel can flow out is if the trigger is pulled. If the trigger is pulled, the pump is spinning and the cost is increasing.
It’s a bit like a garden hose, if you stop pulling the trigger no water comes out

I'd suggest instead of being little keyboard hypothesisers that you actually go and conduct your own practical experiment with a jerrycan.True-Blue wrote: ↑Wed Jan 04, 2023 4:11 pmI don’t think it actually matters where the cut off is, in the sense that the only way fuel can flow out is if the trigger is pulled.

See all those stains on the floor by the pumps, where do you think that comes from?

Shouldn't you be down at the bingo for the big midweek 'all you can play and a pie & pea supper' tonight?
Or are you all out of tenalady?
Tragic.

I get more pish from your posts than the tenalady factories output can cope with.

Yep, all my own whilst you repeat the same tired bingo crap every time.
Still, variety, it's not for everyone.
