Exclamation Pay At Pump Caution
Caution!
When I went to fill up with diesel this evening at the PAY at PUMP, the previous user had not replaced the fuel nozzle completely in its holder, and had therefore not fully closed their transaction. Ensure that you replace the nozzle properly and check that the display says 'sale completed', otherwise unscrupulous people could fill up their car on YOUR credit card! (I am not one of these people and replaced the nozzle before I started my transaction!)

Well, i think that you are on about Tesco, and they have a £60 limit per transaction as you will notice when you use this facility. I know my little Clio 182 car takes almost £40 to fill so therefore only £20 would be lost. I find that most of them dont produce receipts as they have ran out of paper.

I agree 100% - except that my Jeep takes £58 to fill
