Fuck Healy gas pump nozzles

I fucking hate the company "healy" that makes gas pump nozzles.  They always stop over and over and over and over and over.  There's no point in having the tab that keeps the trigger pressed for you since these nozzles act as if the tank is full, RELENTLESSLY.  I ususally see them at Chevron's.  I hate them as much as I hate Bank of America.

shit, I think this is what my mom was talking about. How the gas pump would start pumping real slow when she only had like $6 worth of gas pumped.

yeah I'm sure this is what you're mom was talking about.  I can start with an empty tank and have to go back several times to restart pumping, either that or I have to hold the nozzle at a fucked up angle just so the gas will keep pumping.  It's so damn frustrating.

Wow I thought this only happened to me.  Happens to my GTI all the time.

Never happened on my civic though.

haha Im pretty sure this happens to a lot of different vehicles you gotta find the right angle to hold it at so it pumps freely Ive filled up at least 5 different cars in the past few years and Ive had to adjust the angle of the nozzle on all of them to pump right. just cant stick it in there and go.

Same shit kept happening to me constantly until my one friend who works at a gas station told me that you have to take the nozzle out a bit and yeah also sometimes put it on a fucked up angle. The reason i was told is gas splashes onto the thing that tops it. Doesnt happen to me as much anymore.

it's fucking hilarious to see a gas station attendant in oregon freak the fuck out cuz someone else wants to do their job that requires the iq of a 2 year old.  If these nozzles were in Oregon, everyone would be fucked.
