On some pumps you have to pull that rubber sleeve back or the pump won't function. On others it doesn't matter.

They have them in the St Louis metro area and I try to avoid getting gas there for just that reason.

Hard to fuel real American vehicles (V-8s from the leaded gas era), minivans (at least Aerostars), classics (flathead era), gas cans... 'Bout time. Why a gas nozzle needs a foreskin...

And the zipper case keeps the gas smell inside, and I put my last receipt in it so no one can accuse me of a drive-off.

I woulda thot a good utility knife would have handled it in short order.
We dont have those here, & Im glad.
I congratulate the EPA, This may well be the first time the goobs ever decided to stop doing anything that cost $$, created inconvenience & was wasteful.
