You'd think it would be safer to just risk overspill onto the concrete rather than trying to see into a fuel tank with a lighter but welp

The pump handle is probably blocking light from getting to the hole, so she in her infinite wisdom figured that the best way to check if the gas was nearing the top was to use her lighter as a light source. Instead of like, her cell phone. Or checking the meter. Or just waiting for the pump to shut itself off as all gas pumps do when the tank is full by design.

Do pumps in russia not cut off automatically from the back pressure? I've never heard of someone looking in their tank to see if it was full.

Flash Gordon Ramsay posted:Do pumps in russia not cut off automatically from the back pressure? I've never heard of someone looking in their tank to see if it was full. As someone who's directly experienced this, older pumps or broken pumps won't always have this feature and its a fun surprise when gasoline starts splashing all over the ground and onto your shoes/pants. normally they should cut off or the sign should warn you to underfill if that pump is splashing back

Luckily I stand there the whole time I'm filling up and was able to cut it off before too much gasoline poured out on the ground. Now I listen and cut it off manually when I hear it fill up.

Yeah it seems like even if it's broken, there's lots of other ways to go that don't involve setting it on fire. (And I've been sprayed by a broken pump before as well. Not fun.)

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Oh, hmm. Weird. I didn't think this was possible.

I was gonna say, I'm pretty sure most, if not all, modern pumps stop automatically when they reach the top. Plus, in my experience, there's really no way to see inside your tank. This is just exceedingly dumb. Also, most gas stations I've been to have big signs that explicitly say no cigarettes, matches or lighters, so I'm not sure why she thought this was a good idea.

Luckily I stand there the whole time I'm filling up and was able to cut it off before too much gasoline poured out on the ground. I've once had a pump piss out gas from the connection between the hose and the handle. It was late, the station itself was closed (pumps were running and I could pay with credit), and I was in desperate need of gas, so I just filled up and left a small puddle of gas on the ground. Then I peed on the building because I really had to go and was kind of angry about the busted connector.

Petrol nozzles have a little tube thing inside called a venturi, which is a narrowing that creates a vacuum from the speed and pressure of the petrol passing through it. There's also a little hole in the nozzle for a tube that runs back up to the pump. While you're filling, the vacuum pressure from the venturi sends air up the tube that leads to the pump. Once the tank fills and petrol covers the little hole in the nozzle, the air going up the tube is blocked off. The vacuum pressure builds in the nozzle instead, triggering the lever that pops the handle and cuts off the flow. edit: efb, guess that's what happens when forgetting to hit post

In addition to the venturi valve arrangement in the pump, your car also has a vapor return tube that runs from the top of the gas tank to just inside the cap of the main fill tube*. The vapor return tube allows air to escape from the tank as you add gas - without it, air would have to flow back up the fill tube, bubbling up through the flow of gasoline. That doesn't work too well, so if the vapor return tube is blocked (or missing), the gas pump will keep shutting off as airflow gets cut off from the end of the nozzle by splashing backwash of gas. e. Here's an example:  To get around the problem, you pull the pump nozzle partway out of the tank. I think you can see the russian lady doing exactly that while pumping; she hasn't got the nozzle snug against her fill tube, which is how she winds up lighting the vapor in the first place. If it was snug, she wouldn't be able to look down the fill tube, the pump nozzle would be in the way. So my guess is her lovely russian car has a blocked vapor return tube, or doesn't have one at all. Maybe it's blocked by frozen slush in the wintery nightmare of siberia. She's got the gas flowing, pulled the nozzle out slightly, but knows that it will overflow since without a tight seal against the fill tube the shutoff system doesn't work. Note that a second reason for the venturi pump system is that it allows the escaping gasoline vapor coming from the gas tank to be recaptured, rather than venting it to atmosphere. It's more environmentally friendly that way, although I have to imagine the total amount of unburned gas vapor escaping into the atmosphere if we didn't recapture it would be insignificant compared to, say, the pollution caused by drivers who drive an extra mile out of their way to save one penny a gallon on gasoline. * a small exhaust port right below the main port, yes indeed Leperflesh fucked around with this message at 21:54 on Jan 6, 2016 |

Like filling a glass of water in the dark. You hear that rapid rise in pitch and you stop. Of course, we also used to fill up combines that had fuel tanks higher than the nurse tank. You'd just pump by hand until gas ran down onto your back to let you know when it's filled. Not pleasant and burns like hell. In retrospect, that was probably a significant fire hazard in that the engine was always running when filling. I'm lucky to be alive.
