Top Off, Round Up, or simply Hang Up... When Fueling What Do You Do?

Save the Manuals!
I'm pretty sure it actually specifies in the owners manual to stop fueling at the first click on the pump. I tried to top off once and got gas down the side of the truck.

Not sure how many notice that the filling nozzle has different auto settings. Most 2 or 3, on the fast setting, when it clicked off, I could put $ 3.00 + in on my last truck..
In N.J., you can't pump your own gas, I ask the attendant to put it on the " slow " fill setting.

I find the same, if I use the fastest setting (which I do) I can easily put in another $2-3, so I then just round up to the next dollar to prevent the issues others have mentioned.

With this new "cap less tank technology", my experience has been to stop after the first click. Out of habit, I filled to the second click when I first got the truck because of past experiences of getting a "false fill click". With the cap less fill, I found that pushing my luck to the second click or more generally results in a gasoline bath for the body panel. The other thing I've learned to do is to let the nozzle in the tank to drain for a few seconds after I'm done filling up to let everything settle in the tank....... otherwise another likely spill scenario. I hate those yellow stains when I don't give it a few taps to drain

Yeah, I go until it clicks. "Topping off" can damage the vapor canister

Click, wait a second, shake the nozzle while it's still in the truck so I don't drip gas on the paint.... Same procedure as taking a whizz and not wanting to dribble on your jeans
