Yeobh 4th Gear March 14, 2013 Share March 14, 2013 Diesel dispensing nozzle size and design may vary from US to Japanese maker of self service dispensing pumps. In US, even heavy trucks and industrial engines are running on petrol as diesel fuel is more expensive in term of operational costs. Only lately due to introduction of high speed diesel engines using common rail injection system, diesel is now the "hot" fuel in US . During those good days, the demand for diesel dispensing pumps in US is very low, the dispensing pump makers for economy of scale may just decide to use standard petrol dispensing nozzle for their diesel dispensing pumps. With more and more diesel vehicles on the roads, and to prevent consumer from suing them for pumping wrong fuel into their vehicles, the only logical solution is to have a special designed diesel dispensing nozzle. On the other hand, Japanese dispensing pump makers are more thorough in operational safety, therefore using different set of nozzles for different fuels is the final logical approach. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronleo 6th Gear March 14, 2013 Share March 14, 2013 Sucking from fuel tank is suicidal, get hold of a simple fuel siphon hand pump and the problem will be history in no time. Hey pal, Where can I get one of this fluid transfer hand pump? Btw, care to PM me your blog shop? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beehive3783 Twincharged March 15, 2013 Share March 15, 2013 I don't know how u instruct the attendent. But never assume anything. Always stand and look at what the attendent is doing after u tell him what petrol you want. How long does it take you to stand there? If you have to stand there to watch, might as well do it yourself right? I always pump my own petrol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beehive3783 Twincharged March 15, 2013 Share March 15, 2013 But i notice people here would not pump themselves. During peak period, many people even just stand there and wait for the attendant to come and pump for them. Most of these people are either lazy farks, don't want to get their hands dirty or worse, don't know how to use the pump! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beehive3783 Twincharged March 15, 2013 Share March 15, 2013 Nowadays it's not like last time. Some cars are diesel and some commercial vehicles are petrol. I have a Toyota Dyna which run on Petrol and everytime I pump myself, the attendant will ask if I am pumping the right fuel. So just DIY best. Dyna got petrol version? That's something new to me. But why petrol instead of diesel version? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeobh 4th Gear March 15, 2013 Share March 15, 2013 Singapore service stations begin to shift from attendant fuel dispensing service to self self as early as 1976. At that time,Singapore was undergoing a " industrial revolution" and therefore it's getting difficult to get unskill workers to do fuel dispening and related jobs especially late in the night.The factories and construction sectors including the ship building industry were paying good salaries even to unskill workers. The ides of labour saving and higher productivity didn't catch on with both the station owners and the car users.Station owners still prefer personal service hoping to attract more customers and car owners are just too afraid to pump petrol. Today , we still witness the same situation the industry face during the 70's. In conclusion if there is easy availability of cheap workers, nobody cares about productivity and the push towards first world service standard.

GPunto Neutral Newbie March 23, 2013 Share March 23, 2013 Nice 1...But when u wipe your car..U should realise the fuel cover is not properly lock mah.... the design of my fuel cover cannot lock one, there is a cap behind the fuel cover which can only be lock/unlock with car key the pump attendant did not check if the fuel cap is lock properly before closing the fuel cover... so in the end, i never notice the cap is not inserted properly until my next refuel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macrosszero Turbocharged March 23, 2013 Share March 23, 2013 Everyone pump themselves later attendants out of jobs. With the same reasoning, there must be crime, otherwise the policemen would lose their jobs? We must keep littering, else the roadsweepers no job......

Nicholas 5th Gear March 23, 2013 Share March 23, 2013 (edited) With the same reasoning, there must be crime, otherwise the policemen would lose their jobs? We must keep littering, else the roadsweepers no job...... These are different, or rather... bad examples. Policemen maintain security even without crimes. No police sure will have crime rate will go up. Road sweepers or cleaners clear leaves and dustbins even when no rubbish. Pump attendants other than pump petrol, what else do they do? Will petrol kiosk pay them just to wipe windscreen or once in a while, pump tyres? A good example to back what I said is the Ikea cafes. Before they implement clear your own tables, they hired more cleaners. Now only 1 or 2. Edited March 23, 2013 by Nicholas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
