just fyi, my job is to work on these pumps. this guy doesn't know what he's talking about. don't believe everything you see on tiktok.
the screw is too prevent the flapper from coming too far forward to prevent it from shutting off during your transaction. there's a sensor in the nozzle boot (what this guy calls a cradle) that activates when the flapper is in the correct position. if it comes too far forward, the dispenser will act like it was never picked up, or shut off mid fueling.
I will make a video on this at some point to show you all.

every time you finish pumping gas and you put the nozzle back it tells you right on the screen if you want a receipt or not that me the transaction is completed hope this helps

It doesn’t look like that screw got in the way at all from preventing the nozzle from resting back where it needs to be.

This is not true. The pump resets when you push the nozzle back into the cradle.

The sale ends when the lever goes up after putting the nozzle back in the cradle. That screw is not preventing this motion
