On our first trip after getting a diesel tow vehicle, we stopped for fuel at a truck stop. I thought it strange that the pump didn't have any indicators showing how many gallons were pumped, cost per gallon, etc. Anyway, I proceeded to fill the truck. When I went in to pay, there was a guy at the counter having a very heated conversation with the attendant. He was trying to convince her that his truck couldn't possibly hold that much fuel. Long story short, I had used the satellite nozzle to his pump. Since I had been tracking fuel usage by means of my DriverInformatinCenterm, we were able to divide the total bill pretty close to being accurate. Since I was the one that really messed up, I probably gave the guy a gallon or two on my dime. In the end, we all had a good laugh and I learned a valuable lesson.
BTW, if you are ever in that situation and can only fuel from the satellite nozzle, the correct way, according to one station I had to use, lift the nozzle from the pump station with the information displays, start the pump by lifting the lever or pushing the button, lay the nozzle on the ground, the fill from the satellite nozzle.
