Okay, don't tell anybody but I go so long between the last time I pump gas and actually do due to the fact that the men in my family usually do that sort of thing, that I stand there paranoid that others are noticing me standing there looking stupid while I study the pump. Those pumps don't seem to work right when I pull the lever OR the person in the store isn't paying attention! Nowadays you can of course get gas without the store even being open but sometimes those store clerks help make me look crazy while I stand there having to refresh my memory trying to avoid my coincidentally pumping before the idiots in the store turn on the pump. You hear this, " try it again...try it again!" But I feel ya, gurl! You're not the only one.

pumping gas is easy.
important thing is when you're done, to put your gas cap on really tight until you hear it click. it has to be airtight like that or your gas tank's anti pollution device doesn't work and will make your "check engine" light go on to make you fix it..
what it is is a little charcoal filter that collects any vapours released from the gasoline in your tank. there's a pressure test to make sure the cap is on tight and any harmful pollutants produced by the gasoline in your tank is being routed thru that filter and not out the gas cap into the environment.
if the men ever stop for gas and the check engine light goes on right after they leave the station ask them if they tightened the gas cap.

I lived in South Africa for a while and every gas station had an attendant. This was hard for me to get used to since I am used to pumping my own gas. I have heard that New Jersey still has only full serve stations. Can anyone verify?
On the other hand- we let people bag our groceries. In Europe you have to bag your own.

try repositioning the nozzle, possibly with the help of putting it in extra, or pulling it out somewhat extra beforehand pumping. the gas pump has a pressure sensor, that senses the pressure buildup coming from the filler tube. that's meant to close off the pump to ward off overflow yet each from time to time it basically is going off less difficult on some autos.

The directions are on the pump, if you're forced to do it yourself.
