Would you care to explain what that means and how it works, please?
Bombita Gas has a small hose that runs from the nozzle to their tank. This hose has a seperate valve on it. After filling your tank the worker shuts off the nozzle valve, then your tank valve. He then opens the valve on the little line, and any gas between your valve and the nozzle valve is returned to their tank. This prevents gas from escaping into your car during disconnect. This way they don't have to remove the tank from inside the car.

The problem is that the small valve can be opened discretely while the tank is filling causing gas that has gone through the meter to return to their tank.
