Fueling up: Nozzle holder

[italianpower]

What do you guys think of this idea? A friend of mine made some and gave me one. I tried it out today and it worked surprisingly well.

• What does it do?
• Where do you keep it when not in use?

It holds back the vapor snout part of the gas pump. On a motorcycle I think it's annoying because 1) it has to be held all the way back for the pump to run and 2) I can't see how full the tank is if I push it in enough to let the pump run. Plus I found when pushing it in enough the end of the nozzle was scratching the inside of the plastic gas tank.

I just pull up the vapor part and slide it on the filler snout right past the detent and it holds it back.

It's thin, I just stuck it in my back pocket. I guess I could put it in my backpack or jacket.

Got it! They don't have those on pumps back east yet, or not where I am from

Another Aerostich "gizmo" that no one really needs. I just dispense fuel with my right hand while holding the rubber nozzle back with my left hand. Of course I had to take the Aerostich Nozzle Retraction on-line education seminar to know how to do it.

+1 It sucks that it has to be a two hand operation, but even with the older style nozzle, the top off was two handed to control the pour and not make a mess. It takes but a moment to fill my 5.5gal tank. How long does it take to fill a Monster or SBK? Just sayin'.

Have a good one.

I see.. looks like it was already done. I just thought I'd throw up a few photos since I thought it was clever.

FWIW, it's only the last gal. of gas that won't dispense when using the standard nozzle. It's not like you can't pump gas.
