Filling fuel containers

[Rob]

Always a good idea to fill those jerry's and that while they are sitting in contact with the ground, and not in the back of the ute.
Also, the old straddle the bike while filling the tank up is a big no-no.

i've actually been told to get off my bike to fill it , they wouldn't start the fuel until i did ! mther F%$KERS , something about it exploding in flames whilst you're sitting on it .

I've been told the same thing as well but my argument is that if I'm on my bike I can stop it from falling over, spilling the fuel thus causing a fire in the event of a spark......

They still told me to get off..

More and more stations are doing this now... I have learned that the only place I can do it now is to go to the stations with the swipe cards AT The Bowser! That way, you only have to take off one glove (Well, I do, to get my wallet out!) and you can leave your helmet on. :twisted:

I get asked to get off at pretty much all the stations now... I usually get off anyways just to avoid the hassle.....

Apparantly, all that vapour in the tank, as it comes pouring out (while you straddle having a leg either side of your bike), can gather in your crotch region, and a bit of static from jeans movement is enough to start a nice BBQ with the old meat and 2 vege.
Pimply attendants are supposed to stop the bowser flow if they see ya doing this.

been told to get off before. i was told if the cut off sensor doesnt work it could spill fuel all over me. im like for fucks sake i watch the fuel go in and release the fucking trigger when i want it to stop. fuck im no brain surgen but pretty sure i can fill up a tank of petrol.

they cater for the lowest common denominator unfortunately.

What i was told was some fool sitting on his bike filling the tank lost balance and the bike fell emptying his fuel tank across the service station. Makes it dificult to guess when your full now when filling up on the kickstand

Yeah, they ALL have a farking DIFFERENT story! The one I got was about the guy who was filling up and his mobile went off and ignited the fuel. I don't see much difference between this and the time I was filling up BESIDE my bike (Phone pocket closest to the tank, like REAL close) and it got an SMS.... Funny.. I'm still in one piece!!! :evil:
