Abstract
The device disclosed within as a reusable fuel pump handle guard. A user holds the handle guard in his or her hand, with his palm against the grip, and fingers extending down the two parallel elements. He then applies the hand guard to the hand rest of the fuel pump. A shoulder located at the front edge of the grip prevents the user's hand from sliding too far forward and off the handle guard. The flexible material of the handle guard allows the user to bend the receiving element toward the latching element, around the grip of the gas pump, and underneath the handle of the gas pump actuating the pump ultimately passing the hook of the latching element into the hole of the receiving element.
