where to put the filler cap when filling up

I know this has been discussed before, but not with this feature .....

My daughter was filling her car, when I spotted a Freelander 2 in front of me. The lady got out opened the filler flap, removed the yellow cap and inserted the nozzle .......then she wedged the yellow cap into the nozzle handle.

I used to do that, if the cashier spots you doing it they will turn your pump off Embarassed

Years ago there used to be a catch that you could lock the pump on with which now have all been done away with, this was handy when filling up HGVs which took ages you could walk round and do vehicle check as you filled up, or stick all your green shield stamps in while waiting. 2013 FL2 XS.

I'm surprised you noticed the filler cap! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

I should probably clarify I was talking about jamming the fuel pump open, not taking photos of womens backsides. Smile
