OK the shut off is at the nozzle. theres a soneloid valve at the pump but its ran by the handle switch, so, yeah your getting alittle of what the person bought before you..unless its a multi-hose dispenser(1 hose for each product). theres about 3 cups of fuelin a 3/4 x 10 foot hose (standard).. If you wanna get real picky (youll like this one) you'd be more worried about filters, most pumps have filters in them.. some 10 micron, some 30 micron, and some have filter blanks which is a bypass. I change alot of these filters and you wouldnt believe the muddy lookin stuff that comes out of them..looks like choclate milk almost. Next time your really bored take a glass canning jar when you goto the station, put alittle in the jar and let it settle out.. thats the best way to see what your actually buying.
Nice explanation . . . . but I'd be really p****d if my chocolate milk looked like gas.

I just run about a 1/2 gallon out on the ground before I fill up. That takes care of it.

I was gonna say that it would have to be at the nozzle... otherwise you would be standing there waiting for the hose to drain for a bit longer than you do now... I mean if the hose holds half a gallon and you shut it off when your brinkin the top... your gonna have overflowage......
