    you stretch the hose over the hood??????
    call me lazy but i put a rag or a glove over the nozzle and throw it under the truck
    but maybe next time ,instead of over the hood--just open the doors and run it thru the cab

    Made another trip this week and stopped by the truck stop for fuel and actually turned my head to the right and physically LOOKED at the pump to my right and lo and behold...satellite pumps on the passenger side! LOL! Like I said, if it had been a snake it would have bit me. :biggrin_2559:

    Since the price of fuel raised so much, they figured you can only afford to fill one tank. Coincidently, the price of fuel hoses has tripled this year too. :)

    its hilarious when you see a truck going down the road with the hose still stuck in the tank
    just proves that haste makes waste

    :biggrin_2559::biggrin_2559: LOL! I may do that!

    Better to not see them than do as canuck in da truck said, and use them but forget about it and drive down the road dragging the hose!!

    If thats the worst mistake you make at the fuel island you're doing alright. Try letting one of the nozzles fall out and spray the whole side of the truck down like I did a few years ago. Made my day... :biggrin_25510:
