If there’s a problem with backflow pressure setting off the auto shut-off on a pump, this is a workaround. I had a truck that would constantly trip the shutoff, and more than once the attendant did it this way. (before you give me shit I live in NJ, it’s illegal to pump your own gas here)
I worked at a gas station one summer, an old lady showed up and stuck the pump into a rust hole in the side of her car and pumped probably 10 gallons on the ground
