DIY Pumping Gas (Korean Self-service Gas Station)

It took me two tries to fuel up today at this self service gas station nearby.  First was around 2 pm after lunch but there were just a more cars coming behind me than I can handle. Plus I was in a bit of a hurry so I drove in and out right away. Another chance came up later that night after I took the highway to the KTX station.

Luckily, the station was empty. I was almost afraid to step out since I had been warned recently that I should be careful in that area. Thinking rationally, there should be a lot of CCTV in the area so that got me settled. I can take my time to figure out the touch screen. I almost did it all right except for the pump itself. Duh! I inadvertently closed the pump when I chugged it in the tank. That's one more thing to practice on for me.

So basically here's what I think I should do.

1. Do the screen. Select 

a. what kind if gas or diesel maybe - GAS

b. how much by liter or amount - _ _ Won

c. mode of payment (cash, card, point etc.) - CARD (debit or credit will do)

Then I will be instructed to insert my card. 

2. Next instruction is to put the hose in the tank. The suspended lever means that the tap is closed. Let it go and the fuel will flow. (I hope I remember that right) Wait while it fills up. 

The last part here is to remove the hose, close the tank lid, and replace the the pumping hose on the right on the higher holder coz the lower one is where the handle rests. 

3. Finally, go back to the screen to get the card and receipt. 

I think, one or two more try soon and I'll be more confident in this Korean self-service gas station. It's usually cheaper and still more fun for me. 

I just found a couple videos on youtube which are almost the same with what I've tried. 

Here's another one filling up his tank full through an SK gas station. 

And finally, an English one from John Erskin at Woosung College.

How come I didn't find this the first time I ventured to fuel up at that self-service station? I remember that there was this nice ajumma who helped me through the whole thing at that time. Then on the following ones, an ajussi was there as well. But with time, I needed less help from them. One day, I'll get there! ^^,
