Did you try letting go of the handle, and then re starting the flow.

On some pumps they will flow very slowly unless you start and stop the flow once.

or their pumps could just be that old and crappy.

If you were there with some bro's, why didn't you just fill up? It would end up taking just as long to find another station, and youd risk running out of gas (assuming you don't fuel up until you've hit the reserve)

I would have considered recreating the gas station flamethrower scene from Point Break.

that would have been cool.

vaya con dios.

Wow. This goes into my high bitching category.


If the pumps are slow, I stop and go somewhere else. You're pumping up the bottom of the barrel with all the crap and moisture.

lmao, I love that movie...i regularly use the "vaya con dios" but in the surfer-tongue keanu reeves style.

anyway, I've done that at an ameristop once, I put 36 cents in my camaro and said **** this but didn't bitch out the attendant, I'm sure they're thrilled to be there to begin with.
