Good advice

Just something to add if your not going to be pumping you gas for awhile make sure you drain the gas line. WHAT ? After your pump is off you still have some gas in the line. In order to drain it your need to have the gas nozzle below the tank to drain what left in the gas line.

I had the nozzle condom AND the nozzle mitt on my toyhauler nozzle. The location of the pump station is right behind the rear tire and the bottom of the compartment is perf. steel for venting/draining so all the road debris gets in there, the nozzle is always dirty. This keeps it off the nozzle, work great, made out of Neoprene like a wet suit. Sold the trailer to the DW Godson and it's still got its condom and mitt!

Got it.

What do you mean replace handle?

Nozzle, handle, gun, pump, I'm talking about the part that the gas comes out of. Just different terminology for the same thing.

1, I regret googling that based on the other search results!

2, I never realized I needed something like this? I always just threw the nozzle back into it's compartment and shut the door.



I think I might get an oversized ziploc bag (Ikea has nice big ones), put it over the nozzle, and will just wrap something around the open end of the bag (big twist-tie type thing).

Should keep it clean and nice and cheap.

What do you mean replace handle?

If your talking about just the handle itself, they sell a much better one at Tractor Supply. I replaced mine fairly early on cause it was sticking as well.

Believe it or not the gears will swell in the presence of gas. My last toy hauler, I had to open the pump head up and sand the gears twice. They are easy to come out, place the sand paper on a table and rub the gears around. Does not take much.

Yeah, I had to do the same thing on our Fuzion pump.
