Make sure that...

• each vehicle and the person using a dispenser can be seen and that your view is not obstructed;
• proper procedures are followed throughout the filling operation, eg dispenser nozzles are correctly inserted, delivery hoses are not stretched or kinked and tripper latches are not wedged open;
• at filling-stations the loudspeaker system and any closed-circuit TV is working correctly;
• vehicle engines are switched off when at the dispensers;
• people under the age of 16 do not buy petrol or operate dispensers;
• no one smokes in the vicinity of the dispenser (ie in danger zones);
• no one uses portable electric/electronic equipment such as a CB radio or portable telephone;
• people wishing to fill containers with petrol use only those which are approved.

Always check carefully that there is no danger before you start the petrol dispenser and during its operation.

Awaiting apology

What has all of that got to do with auto cut off?

Please stop deleting posts and go back and read the first post. The OP was told that they didn't have the pump inserted properly and they said that's why the auto cut off didn't work.

There is no mechanical device that then grabs your arm and keeps it in one position that I've ever seen on a petrol pump. It may well have been in place at the start but that doesn't mean the op then didn't adjust where the pump was whilst filling.

Speculation, but the garage attendant should have seen....

Oh come on, that's just daft.

As said, filling with diesel is always a grubby task, the op would have known the tank was full by the value, the capacity of the tank, and the noise.

Its lack of care by the op, simple.

They can use due diligence before allowing the pump to dispense but that's no guaranteeing the person using reads all of the no doubt displayed material of how to use the pump in a safe way.

I am not anti retail staff at all, I'm just anti people like yourself who are rude here. It makes me think you are like it when you are behind the till.

You'll also find the heading says this:

Dispensing petrol as a fuel: Health and safety guidance for employees.

Guidance Zandoni, not liability if a customer c**** it up!

So you just see me as some object behind a till? (do you even know the person behind the till is a human?)

Have you any idea of the multiple jobs/positions that go in the retail trade?
