Was at the local 76 filling up a bit ago and saw a Ram with the fuel nozzle stuck. The lady and employee were jiggling, wiggling, wedging a piece of wood, etc. Wouldn't come out. I just Googled it and it seems like this might not be uncommon. Anyone experienced this or seen it before? How would you ever leave the station?!?
Gas Nozzle Stuck in Pickup

Never heard of that! After a quick search, there seems to be a connection between this problem and some kind of special Gas nozzles required in California and any other places with the same requirements for gas station pumps? Bizarre.
Was the nozzle handle green?

I have never heard of this before. At Costco it's almost as much fun watching people pump gas as it is at the boat dock at the river watching people try to load up their boats hahahaha.
Metal flap on the tank neck size restrictor got bent and is now digging into the nozzle catching it.
Happens from folks just jamming the nozzle into the tank over time.

Another argument to support EV's? What next!?
The person could have just driven off, the nozzles are designed to break away if someone does that. Of course damage to the vehicle may occur....
I was at a gas station a few years ago when someone did just that. I watched him drive away, pull over across the street, remove the nozzle and section of hose and throw it in the street while cursing up a storm before speeding away. Someone notified the cashier and he went out and retrieved the nozzle.

No. Not diesel.
I was wondering about that. I've seen it before, too.
I've seen it happen with the new capless systems. If the car is running the gas nozzle will not come out.
