  Aha, then I could easily see myself making that mistake during a tired and stressful day if my phone rang while paying or something.

  But why would you leave the pump before it’s done? Even if you don’t have to hold the handle, what else are you going to do for 20 seconds.

    What kind of tank you have that fills up that fast?

    Sometimes I clean my windshield, sometimes just spend a minute on my phone or rearrange stuff in my car

  For anyone curious. this is how those things work.

  I assume the only part missing for the european nozzles is the little latch that holds it open.

      Yep, the pin is removed. There are tools to act as pin available. (Nails for one)
