Bought my car in Los Angeles. When I was driving home, stopped in Mojave desert for gas. Clicked off every 2-4 seconds. Must have taken 20 min for 1/2 tank. Thought what in the hell did I get myself into.

Turned out, that pump had a very sensitive CA approved vapor recovery or sensor, and that short fill tube triggered it every time. Had the black rubber shroud that contacts the car. Since getting to UT and almost 2 years later, it hasn't done that once and I didn't change anything.

Some pumps.........
