When pumping gas, most stations around here (California) have a little latch you can push to dispense gas and let go of the handle.
… when you use that latch, does it pump slower? Is it supposed to?
I always feel like it does but figure it’s a reasonable question for here.
Thanks folks!
I’ve seen those same latches all across the US and I can certify that the gas usually flows slower when latched.
But it’s not because it’s designed to flow slower, but that the latch holds the tube open in a more closed position than when your hand is squeezing the handle.
This theory makes the most sense to me.
