When pumping gas, most stations around here (California) have a little latch you can push to dispense gas and let go of the handle.

… when you use that latch, does it pump slower? Is it supposed to?

I always feel like it does but figure it’s a reasonable question for here.

Thanks folks!

    The latches that allow you to pump fuel hands-free usually have 2 settings and even the highest setting is not 100%. It seems like 80-90% of the max pump rate imo. So you’re right that it does pump slightly slower when using the hands-free latch.
