From having worked on pumps before for a few years I can tell you that you are achieving absolutley nothing except looking like an idiot.
The lock off valve for the fuel flow is located in the nozzle and operated by the nozzle handle!!!
If you are not pulling the handle in no fuel is flowing as the valve is shut!
I dont know what is funnier. The tripper who thought that idea up or the idiots that do it and recommend to others to do it!
Nearly as funny as the people who will wait in the q at a Woolies or Shell servo for 45mins when there is a price war on and its 4c a litre cheaper then up the road and they buy 60 litres. Hand over their docket as well for a total of 8c discount and save a grand sum of $4.80..............................45mins effort to save $4.80! I earn $38 an hour at work so for me to spend 45mins to save $4.80 is pretty counter productive. A lot of people would be the same but their pathetic greed stops them from seeing that.

Not that I would ever do it....
But the way I read the fuel in the hose thing is to keep the trigger valve OPEN when the pump stops after prepaid amount is reached. Then get the fuel out of the hose while trigger valve is still pulled open...

But who cares, Im off to woolies. I have a shopadocket
