A few of these tips have been discussed and various info gleened from it. http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/household/gastips.asp |
They are supposed to turn off automatically when fuel touches the tip even with the trigger locked. I remember using a defective pump that was pumping WAY too slow and it started over-flowing when it FINALLY got there (15-20 minutes later; I ran into someone I knew and just decided to let it run insted of going elsewhere).
