Consumer Description

THERE IS A SMELL OF GAS AFTER FILLING THE TANK. WHETHER USING HOLD THE HANDLE OR THE AUTO FILL, WHEN THE NOZZLE CLICKS OFF, BEFORE REMOVING THE NOZZLE FROM THE TANK FILLER NECK, I REACH OVER AND MANUALLY SHUT THE PUMP OFF IN ONE OF TWO WAYS: 1) MULTIPLE HANDLE PUMPS: MOVE THE SELECTED GRADE "PUMP LEVER" FROM THE "UP" (TO PUMP) TO THE "DOWN" (SHUT OFF) POSITION, OR 2) SINGLE HANDLE PUMP FOR DISPENSING MULTIPLE GRADES OF GASOLINE: USE A FINGER TO PUSH THE ACTUATOR UP TO SHUT OFF THE PUMP BEFORE REPLACING THE HANDLE ON THE PUMP. I NEVER "TOP OFF" OR "ROUND UP TO THE NEXT CENT OR DOLLAR" BUT THERE IS STILL AN ODOR OF GAS.
