[QUOTE="viewfinder, post: 140596, member: 1704"] Actually positioning the pump handle sideways will help to prevent tripping but then one can easily end up overpumping and petrol gushes out! My non-bmw car usually trip due to the tank design and I almost always hold it sideways (and watch out for liter pumped). I believe the tripping mechanism is reverse flow pressure based but can't be sure. Tripping seems to occur always on hot days when there's lots of petrol vapor in the tank. [/QUOTE]
