If you have an Anderson lead plug socket at the back of your cab by the fuel tank, they’re the right size to keep the trigger on.

another potential explosion

Not nessesarily because unlike petrol, Diesal has to be heated to 40 or 50 degrees before it will ignite,but like petrol it also has to has to be within a certain percentage of air/fuel ratio as far as I can recall so the chances of an explosion
Are very slim.
And just to add I used to drive a daf 7.5t that had the batteries located directly beside the Diesal tank so that just shows you.

A little block of wood that fits snug in the fuel nozzle trigger - for hands free fueling when the clip has been removed

An old tennis ball works too.

Does a new tennis ball work too.I might buy one.

Hehe - yes, I suppose it would! Our firm often tips at landfill sites and for some strange reason there always seems to be an old tennis ball lying about. That’s where I got mine from - as I’m a tight git!

07.00-09.30ish, stay in the inside lane/hard shoulder, southbound M6 J10, then nip into lane 3 just after the junction. Can usually beat 1 or 2 miles of standing traffic. (Smug Smiley Face, lol)

No it won’t.

You can put cigarettes out in diesel and petrol vapour goes to the ground.

I would like to see you put a ■■■ out in petrol. ha, Have seen petrol go up just from the static of it going through the pump and into the car!!

I read of a fatal incident involving a doctor of all people a while back, who was stupid enough to use petrol to light a damp bonfire. He soaked the rubbish, lit the fire and went up with it because the vapour was on and around him.

A 50p piece is made for that job, your block of wood is now redundant.

And now you have a 50p piece that’s stinking of diesel. yeah good thinking batman!

The plastic wheelnut caps off a scanny does the job.

I use the bosses electricity to charge all my stuff such as phones, ipods & torches.

I always had a bolt in my bag, just the right size to lock off the rear steer axles when reversing. Always a handful of cable ties too - they will mend almost anything. Oh! one of those nifty little LED torches on my key ring - essential for checking that the fifth wheel is set properly when coupling up in the dark.

When on a “Friday Flyer” get an hour or two down the road before inserting your tacho. This ensures you don’t run out of driving time to get back home.
