"Hi! This is Dan Wolstenholme on behalf of Expert Village and I am going to show you how to pump gas. Okay in this scene we are going to pull the car up to the pump and start to pump the gas. So we are going to show you how to activate the pump, how to insert the nozzle and how to start pumping gas. First thing when you pull up to the pump is to always remember to shut off your engine for safety reasons. Okay and we get out of the car. As we showed you before, always remember to release your fuel pump, shut the car door and open the gas cap. Now for some of you who don't like to experience everybody else's used the gas pump before you that day, you can always use a rubber glove for your sanitization protection. Okay we are at the pump. What we want to do first is to authorize the pump. This particular one is asking if we have a discount ticket. We don't so press no. We are going to pay with the debit card outside. So we are going to insert the card into the card reader. Always remember to use for gasoline the black handle, the green handle over here is for diesel fuel. Believe it or not, people have put diesel in their car. So you want to take a look at the fuel receptacle. It is the nozzle there again. A standard gasoline nozzle is made to fit right into that hole so we go ahead and do that now. We are going to select a grade which is 85 and then we are going to insert the nozzle and start to pump. If you noticed it has a little trigger here that we could profit on to automatically fill and then we go ahead and fill or dispense to the level that we want to. When the tank is full, the back pressure will kick back into the nozzle. To release the pressure on the nozzle, you will hear click and that means that the tank is full."
