For all you guys wondering about the thing slipping out. If you look at
most Full Serve nozzles, and even Self, they have a little coil of thick
wire wrapped around where the actual spout starts. That wire's express
purpose is to hook itself onto the rim of your filler tube - not discharge
static electricity like my physics teacher kept telling us, man that was
funny. Anyway, the only reason I can think of for removing the locking
mechanism is the danger of built-up static from re-entering your vehicle.
