A device which enables hands-free refuelling is adapted to be inserted into holes (5, figure 3) on a refuelling pump, and may be retained by the user so he can use it at other filling stations. It takes the form of a key, which may be attached to a key ring or to the vehicle itself. It may have two actuating pins 2 and a moulded body 1. The hands-free facility may be overridden by depressing the trigger (6, figure 3) on the fuel pump nozzle. The key may be available in a range of colours to indicate which fuel is required. The key may contain another component or device, for example a mini torch or key fob.
