I don't get it. When it stops its full right? So how come when she did it like 5 times gas didn't pour out of the damn tank all over the place?
It has to be positioned a certain way in order to pump gas properly, i.e. just straight in. It's a safety feature so that if you remove the pump by accident it stops pumping. In her case, she held the trigger and the whole nozzle unit in effect. Her arm wasn't steady so she moved it around, causing the pump to stop.
