To fill a vehicle's fuel tank with gasoline, you primarily need to activate the flow of fuel from the pump using the nozzle's trigger.
Activating the Gasoline Flow
Filling a fuel tank typically involves inserting the pump nozzle into the vehicle's fuel filler neck and then initiating the gasoline flow. The key action at the pump is controlling the nozzle.
Here's the essential step based on the provided information:
- Pull the trigger on the pump to activate the gasoline.
This action causes the fuel to begin flowing from the hose and into your tank.
Using the Pump Nozzle Trigger
The pump nozzle is designed with a trigger mechanism that controls the release of gasoline.
- Squeeze the trigger gently: Apply pressure to the trigger on the pump nozzle. This action opens the valve, allowing gasoline to flow out of the hose.
- Continuous Flow: On many modern fuel pumps, you have the option to lock the trigger in an open position. This feature lets the gas flow continuously without you needing to hold the trigger down, making the process easier until the tank is full or you release the lock.
By inserting the nozzle correctly and activating the trigger as described, you can effectively fill your vehicle's fuel tank.
