Actually, pumping gas is a lost art as all gasoline systems now use a electric pump to flow the fluid from underground storage to the nozzle that is inserted into the vehicle or container.
Hand transfer pumps are used to move the liquid from one vat into another.
The old gasoline stations that had the five gallon glass containers above the stand and then allowed gravity flow to push the liquid into your car's tank are long gone. They had a hand pump attached to the stand that allowed you to pump the gas up so you could see that you were getting "full measure" for your money.

Is this a serious question??? I didn't think there were actually people out there that don't know how to pump their own gas except maybe Paris Hilton...lol. Yes I know how to pump my own gas but I go to the service station where they pump it for you so I don't have to drag my small children in and out of the car.

I do. But we don't have full service stations where I'm from. In Utah all I have seen are self serve. So you have to pump your own gas. Well there was one place that would do it for you but it was over a dollar more a gallon than any other gas station. I would just prefer to do it myself. It's not that big of an inconvienience.

Sure been doing that for myself,( i am a female) for about 30 years now. It was really kind of scary the first time I actually did pump it myself, I was worried I would not know how and it would spill everywhere. Nope it was fine. been independent little cuss ever since. when it comes to pumping gas that is.

Well from Michigan, we don't have stations that pump your gas here. So that is something you learn from a early age in life.. Really just follow the directions you can't go wrong

I'm not sure of your question? You said you do know how to. Are you just asking how many people know how to pump gas? Well, in California and most other states we pump our own gas. I do know in Oregon they won't let you pump your own gas.

identity wager definite from him residing on a 'ranch', no longer that he replace into driving livestock or something, yet Im effective he had some significant $100K truck he drove. that's in all probability been 15 years on account that he's pumped gas however. His previous guy for the duration of his administration went in to a food market and marvelled on the scanning gadget on the inspect. the country replace into bowled over simply by fact the scanner contraptions were in place for sort of 10 + years. It replace into fantastically surprising and it replace right into a punchline for numerous jokes approximately how undesirable Bush Sr replace into out of touch with the generally happening guy. So, definite, to answer your question, i think of GW has. i think of GW could desire to bypass... "Wow, you pays with a mastercard on the pump?!" or say "i will pay for a automobile wash right here?! Aint that sumthing!"

you don't actually pump any gas, you just insert the nozzle into your tank and pull the lever towards you. Actual pumping was when the gas had to be manually pumped up from their storage tank by someone, nowadays this is all done using electric pumps.
