auto shut off dumps gas on the side

New Jersey and Oregon both have "Mini-Serve" and "Full-Serve" fuel stations . You're not allowed to pump your own fuel(s) ; I believe it's a state(s) fire law , iirc .

There was a wonderous grace period here in AQMD-EPA Cali , wherein the gas nozzles ( diesel nozzles haven't been plagued with "clean air nozzles" ) were devoid of those stupid , completely ineffectual vapour recovery nozzles and their thick *** ,heavy *** boots .
From 1994 - c.2004 , we were blessed with straight nozzles ! Just a simple anti-splash shield , and nothing else . ZERO problems filling ANY tank , any vehicle , of any year .
