        Suction is applied to the pipe using a venturi. When the tank is empty, air is being drawn through the hole by the vacuum, and air flows easily. When gas in the tank rises high enough to block the hole, a linkage in the handle senses the change in suction and flips the nozzle off

        Is there a presentation on why the nozzles at Costco shut off randomly when the tank is not full?

        Each fueling station has a camera on your fuel gauge. Once it reaches 'F' it shuts off. You prpbably thunk the gauge only works with the engine is on. But no one has ever been in a car during refuelling to notice.

        Most (possibly all) nozzles on O'ahu/Hawaii that I have been to either do not have Automatic Fuel Nozzles or have the three position clip removed from the nozzle. Anyone have any idea why that is?
