Petrol Pump Trick

Whenever I visit the petrol station I always brim full the tank and thanks to the large fuel tank on a FFRR sometimes that can mean holding the trigger in for quite a long time which usually hurts the hand after a while if the trigger is stiff.

If you have the same problem - do what I do .... I have made a small keyring style pin that slides into the holes in the handle (where the pins presumably were originally) .... This allows you to pull the trigger then set the latch that most pumps have then you can sit back and wait until the pump automatically cuts off at full without holding the trigger in.

Not sure if the stations like you doing it tho so dont go wandering about or sit back in the car while filling otherwise they may notice.
