Balancing! When you have a foot down both sides. Oooohhhh! Dangerous!felco wrote:A common sense policy from shell, (thumbs) ,
reaching for the nozzle and balancing a bike? Why would you? Only ever did it once! And that was when I didn't intended paying :laugh:
Problems? On my bike it would just run down the overflow, if it warmed up quick enough that I hadn't used it already, and that would require a very hot day. It's petrol not diesel or oil, not a problem to get a drop of it on your back tyre.AlanHolt wrote:Overfilling a tank can cause problems. You're pumping cold fuel from underground tanks into a much warmer container. The fuel cap vent is designed to stop liquid but allow vapour through. These can become saturated with fuel as it expands in the time it takes you to pay as it gets hotter, the tank then can't breathe and fuel is forced through the lock mechanism, washing away the grease/lubricant, or through the tank overflow, dropping fuel near the rear tyre.
I have pushed bikes the last mile to the petrol station on more than 2 occasions.AlanHolt wrote:Ralph, excuse the sarcasm, but how many times did you get off the bike and fill it on the stand and subsequently run out of fuel before you realised that by filling it whilst sat on it would enable you to always get to a petrol station? :silly:

Try to find statistics on that, you won't because it doesn't happen enough to bother collating them. If your common sense and concentration span is so bad you spill on your gonads or get it in your eye, you probably shouldn't be in charge of a moving motorbike.
