Does gas I pay for end up staying in the hose?

Asked by mrentropy (17213points) August 8th, 2009

So I was getting gas today and it hit me that the hose for the pump goes down then curves up to where my filler spot is. I wasn’t going for a fill-up so when I stopped pumping I started to wonder if gas was still left in the hose.

Should I be lifting up the hose to drain the last bits of gasoline from there, or does the pump have some kind of mechanism to take care of that?
