Hi Doug, long time!
=20
That was probably like the credit card sized plastic gadget I bought.
=20
It had an oblong hole in the center.  You put that over the nozzle and push=
ed bellows back
with it, then you slid it to lock it, causing the bellows to be held all th=
e way back so it knew
you didn't want it to seal.
It sort of worked but wasn't any easier than holding the bellows back  or p=
ushing it into the car
slightly sideways to leave a gap on one side, that does work but you still =
have to pump really
slowly.
