  Only it is not always allowed to have those pins in place. In Holland for instance only for the truck gas pump.
  
  What you can do is, put a pin in yourself. TRANSLATE

Due to my length and the height of the hole in the car to fill up into, the handle of the fuel spout is too low, so I would have to have my back bent for about 2 minutes straight just to get gas in the car without the pin. Hurray for the pin. TRANSLATE

  Unscrew the fuel cap. Insert the spout. Block the spout with the fuel cap. It fits exactly.
  
  This will save you from holding the spout for long periods, save the paint of your car, as you don't toss the cap on the roof, and you do not need any other tool.
  
  Disadvantage: Not all caps are loose. My Ford Mondeo has one on a piece of strip, which is just too short. The new Mondeo does not even have a filler cap at all! TRANSLATE

Cheap Chinese products now that deminish the nature of European products - likely it's smothered in lead paint and made to last up to and including the last day of warranty. We need to get away from this non- sustainable asian crap that fills up our landfills and reduces us to being souls that search for the cheapest stuff around and ruins our local economy. I say not to cheap Chinese crap and we should tell manufacturers that we don't want this any more - quality at a price not cheap at a massive profit and purely non-environmental. Make a statement!
