The Handy Gas Pump Latch

The oddly shaped latch on the gas inlet of cars is not just a design quirk of automobile engineers. Like every other feature on a vehicle, this latch also has a purpose and a rather useful one.

Did you know that it can help hook the gas pump nozzle to the car while we tend to other things while gassing up? It is good to know that we don’t need to stand there looking impatient while the tank fills up. So next time, feel free to hop into the convenience store, quickly grab that favorite snack, and save some time.
