The pump clicked. Stop squeezing! Topping off your gas tank can cost you a few hundred dollars.
That click is the nozzle’s automatic shutoff telling you the tank is full. Keep pumping and the extra gas can be pushed into your car’s vapor canister, a little box of charcoal that soaks up gas fumes from the tank. It’s built for fumes, not liquid gas.
Soak the charcoal with liquid fuel and the canister is ruined. Hello, check engine light, and a repair bill of a few hundred dollars, all for about a dollar of extra gas.
Send this to the friend who always rounds up to the next dollar at the pump.
