A Cracking Good Tip for Cold Chaps
For some reason across Canada, and often at poorly maintained gas stations in the US, those latches that allow you to pump gas without having to hold the pump trigger depressed, are missing. The pump is still required to have an automatic shutoff when it senses that the tank is full, so that it is perfectly safe to improvise your own latch.

The problem is most apparent, of course, in Winter, when you would rather be back in your warm car or cleaning the salt covered windows. It's also the time you are most likely to have a lip salve like Chapstick or Blistex in your pocket. Put one under the trigger and retreat to the car. The only hazard: when the pump automatically switches off, your lip salve may jump out, and of course they never roll away from the car, always underneath.

MGB Electrical Systems This site, owned and developed by Rick Astley, was originally conceived to assist the MG enthusiast who, while often very capable of understanding the mechanical engineering aspects of the vehicle, is sometimes left scratching his or her head when it comes to the electrical system. Although based mostly on his own experience with MGB's, the content should also have relevance to all MG's and indeed LBC's.
