    Master pump controls sattelite pump. Run card. Remove nozzle. Fuel. Go to other side. Remove sattelite nozzle. Fuel up.

    Def often runs as a separate transaction, or as an option on touch screen.

    REMOVE NOZZLE BEFORE DRIVING ! I'm not kidding.

    Pull forward or park after fuelling. Remember fellow driver.
     
    wd40 Thanks this.

    I need a NAP NOWWWWW!

    All the correction police can add their 50c.

    Just ask drivers when you're out here - most all love to help.

    Gotta go.

    Thanks man!

    The OCD has taken care of the tools... over the years I have horded tools....I am extreme at organizing them though... I may have up to 8 wrenches of the same size, hammers out the rear ...on & on... I know where to find every one of them though..I have inherited tools that I don't even know what they are for... love the flea markets and pawn shops... and Christmas

    Have a good day

    Wd40 why don't you write everything down on paper and ask your mentor -and write the answer down when you get it, you can keep the info as your own personal guide.
    Every thing people post on here will be accurate but will require you to find internet to double check what they answered.
    Forget "floating gears" for now thats something you can play with later when you are on your own, why load your head with it now -not required, and you will have tons of time for practice later.
    Winter driving: Hoo boy -- no body can tell you when to get off the road, but if you pass more trucks in the ditch than on the road - i would head for an exit "SLOWLY"! Good luck with your adventure.

    You would be surprised how many drivers drive away from a fuel pump and rip the fuel nozzle off. I've found a bunch of them, on or near fuel islands. Two trucking companies I worked for had their own fuel island and I would leave the nozzles I found by their fuel pumps; they never figured out where the nozzles came from. They even brought it up at safety meetings.

The safety man would wag his finger at the drivers and say, "we think one of you drivers is pulling away from truckstops with the fuel hose still in the tank. The truckstops know who used that pump last & they WILL be calling here soon with the drivers name."
