I guess your failure to understand how the charcoal canister and assorted tubing relates to the filler neck adds to your misunderstanding. Because I don't want to see a massive explosion I guess I'm the fall guy. No understanding some peoples logic.

Uh....I don't see any mention of the filler neck, tubing and charcoal filter in your post about the workings of the nozzle. We were discussing your post about how the engine running could keep "back pressure" from shutting off the pump. In reality it isn't back pressure that shuts off the pump, it's vacuum.
I never said that filling the tank with the engine running is a good idea. I don't agree with your explaination of why it isn't.
