Is that what makes it smell oh so good?
This should be shown in every drivers Education class-
My first auto mechanics job was in New Jersey and half the day I pumped gas and the other half I helped out in the shop. New Jersey is still as far as I know the only state where you can't pump your own gas. I'll never forget there was this one time where an old man pulled up in a very old car. Can't remember the exact model but it was the type where you had to flip the rear license plate down to take the gas cap off and fill it up. I was heading out of the shop to go help him but saw him go around to the back of the car, squat down, flip the plate down, and was just about to unscrew the gas cap.........WITH A LIT CIGAR IN HIS MOUTH AND HIS HEAD A FOOT AWAY FROM THE GAS CAP!!!!....... I started running towards him yelling "Sir!!!!Stop!!!! I got it!!!".......thank god he did stop before he blew us all up. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I believe Oregon is the same as New Jersey, although it’s been over 20 years since I been there, could have changed.
Cigarette cherry ain’t hot enough to ignite gasoline… 🤷🏽
Years ago I spent a week in New Jersey working. Needed gas in the rental car, pulled in to a station got out and started pumping away. A young man came running out screaming and yelling for me to get away from the pump. I explained I was from out of state and didn’t know the rules. I thought the kid was going to have a heart attack.
Oregon and New Jersey for decades. Oregon recently changed laws and now only New Jersey.
@@jonpeterson5071 thank you for the update, last time I was in Oregon while getting gas was ‘93 and we were scolded for starting to pump our own gas.
it's the fumes that catch 🔥
Exactly. You can actually put out a small fire by pouring gas on it. Be careful tho.
It's actually the gas not the fumes that catch fire.
@@marcelOberauerTell us that you have no clue what you’re talking about without telling us that you have no clue what you’re talking about!!! 😂😂😂 Fumes are what catch fire!!!
@@jongoin4404 That's gas that evaporate from gasoline at room temperature. Fumes are released after an element is melting after heating it or by chemical reaction.
What you are seeing is gas fumes which are a hydrocarbon being released into our atmosphere.
In Ca & NY, gas nozles have a boot over the gas nozzle spout & all of those fumes are captured.
When the gas truck comes & delivers fuel, all of those fumes are sucked out of the underground
tank & into the truck. Back at the refinery, when the tanker truck refills all of those fumes get
sucked out of the truck & condensed back into liquid gasoline & added to the giant 1M gallon
gasoline tanks at the refinery.
!
That's crazy.
It's being filtered through activated carbon.
The delivery truck also has a vapor recovery connection that ties it to the receipt tank. As the gasoline flows in and the liquid level rises, the vapor in the tank gets forced up and the recovery hose connection sends it into the offloading tanker, again for recovery when he gets back to the terminal.
It's nice to see they got their priorities straight when there's homeless feeces and needle all over the streets.
@@metazare One has nothing to do with the other. Take your off-topic complaints elsewhere.
There is a breeze here carrying it away- if the air was still, the fumes would drop to the ground and pool. One of the features that makes gasoline such a wonderful fuel is that it has a very low flash point in comparison to other fuels- that's also what makes it so flammable and dangerous.
Thats not fumes, that is gas.
Gee, what a surprise, gasoline gives off fumes, who knew!
It doesn't. It's vapor, not fumes.

@@davemanone3661 - Wow, just because someone knows more than you do, you have to try to make yourself feel better by insulting them? It must suck to be you. (And you must expend a lot of energy hating life - and all those people who are smarter than you.)
@@dougearnest7590 not at all!
@@dougearnest7590 fume /fyoo͞m/ noun
Vapor, gas, or smoke, especially if irritating, harmful, or strong.
VeRy interesting to see how much vapour is coming out of the tank.😮😊
Thank you for your comment! We're glad you found it interesting. Monitoring vapor emissions is indeed a fascinating aspect of our technology.
How much?

If you can smell it.
I miss leaded gasoline😂
So what good is the fume suckers on the pump?
We've been lied to. They dont suck up the fumes.
The end.
I suppose this station doesn't have them - or they don't work.
Vapour recovery does work and oil companies are making millions of $$$ a year off this process..
I'm never putting gas again
I smoke while I’m fueling up all the time and nothing has ever happened lol
I would have never thought infrared would see that. Wonder if my 4k security camera would see that if I poured gas on a hot night?
Huh? This camera is a thermal camera that detects heat. Consumer-grade security cameras detect light.
I love that smell!
And that is why I cough sometimes when I pump gas.
That, and the newports
@@charredskeleton😂😂😂😂
As the fuel goes in the air in the tank has to come out.
Sure, but modern pumps should recover the fumes. So maybe it is defective or just a very old film.
@@Foxhunter_DE
I been in Texas for the last 12 years and Tennessee for the 34 years before that I have never seen a boot on the gas nozzle in either state, ever. I have been to other states and seen them but not these two!!! With that being said, I have not been to every gas pump in these states but I haven’t seen any vapor boots on the ones I have used. It may very state to state depending on the laws or some states may already know that they don’t work so they said, “screw it”!!!
This is why petrol pumps now have Vapour Recovery.
Plus oil companies make a shitload of money off collecting the vapour.
I thought that modern gas pumps have to recover the fumes and put them back into the underground tanks.
Yes, it's called a Vapour Recovery System. Could be an old film.
Well, you’re pumping into a hole in the side of your vehicle. Shazam! It’s not a closed system…
@@nigel900 Of course that’s true but the pumps are supposed to have the additional function of sucking the fumes out of your tank while putting gasoline into it. Perhaps the pump in the video wasn’t to code, or was malfunctioning… Or, maybe the system just isn’t very effective.
@@lowandslow3939I wouldn’t consider this amateur video anything other than a curiosity, rather than a scientific study. Common sense would tell you that since the nozzle isn’t creating an airtight seal, and it’s being operated by someone other than a technician… they’ll be some vapor loss. Who’s to say the “vapor recovery system” isn’t working? Then again it’s hard to impossible to make a device idiot proof…
This video is from 14 yrs ago. Before they had the recovery systems.
Now do that with diesel.
If the pump is working right and the owner is following industry guidelines this doesn’t happen. In Oregon they issue huge fines for having outdated pumps that do this.
Who cares about a 14 year old video about vapor?
I pump my own gas all the time, some with and some without the vapor recovery bs. You don't need some idiot pumping your gas for you. Whether you're smoking a cigar or a cigarette 😂 😂 the vapor dissipates too quickly, and the cherry of either is not hot enough or big enough to inflame gasoline.
Um wheres the point to this?
