How does a gas pump know when my tank is full?

Yep, always the suction factor at the gas station. GTK info.

Gas stations around here use a different approach, they assume you are done filling up when it hits $75. Pisses me off when I can never get a full tank unless I shut it off and start it again.

Yep.. Don't you love when it shuts off at 75.. then you restart it just to put another 1.45 in..

That pisses me off so much haha. I try to fill up at 1/4 tank just so I don't have to mess with that.

 

[Shanks12]

yeah I usually fill up around the 1/2 - 1/4 mark

My freshmen year here at my college I remember moving out of my dorm and my mom came to help me and she said congrats I will buy you a tank of gas to get you back home. So we go to Chevron, and at the time the prices were at the all time high, almost 5 bucks a gallon in my neck of the woods, and the pump shut off at 100 clams instead of 75 and I still had probably between 1/8 and 1/4 tank left.

Sweet little tidbit of information.

It's like the small plastic/rubber hoses that goes into the bigger pipe in the tiolet tank the lower you stick the small hose down the pipe the lower your tank will fill up with water. Who knew that?
