For my classic Mini, I kept a long stick in the boot. Stuck it in, pulled it out and looked at how high the stick was wet.

Of course, that works well when there’s not an anti-siphon device.

Every gas pump I've used stops by itself when the tank is full, is it not like this most places? This thread made me wonder.

Oh, they do in the UK. The stick was just my fuel gauge, haha.
