At least you didn't fill it up with diesel... [:'(]
There was this hot-shot kid I used to work with that rode a Honda Speedy something-or-other crotch rocket, he apparently filled his bike with diesel. Of course, it wasn't HIS fault; the gas station had the fuel in the underground tanks all screwed up. Of course. We gave him s#!t forWEEKS after that.[sm=laughat.gif]

Moral of the story: Never tell a bunch of electricians that you f***ed up your ride, then blame somebody else.

To those who say to keep your eye on it, or watch it like a hawk ... well, I always do .. and I STILL have managed MORE than once to get gas on my tank. Sometimes a "hand twitch", sometimes trying to see just how close I'm coming to the top. Hell, I guess I'll just use the excuse that at 52 years old, the eye/hand/brain coordination ain't like it used to be!! O.K. If that doesn't fly, guess I'm a dumb a$$ too!

Hell with the price of gas as high as it is right now, I would've saved the fuel soaked towels and sold them on e-bay.

Nick, Years ago I knew a guy that had a mind fart for a second, thought he heard a rattle from his exhaust headers, and grabbed both with his hands to give them a good shake ------when they were blue hot. He said all he heard was a sizzle and then one holy hell of a lot of pain.

The heck with the pump's guages! Just keep your eye on the tank and fill it. If you've got an odd amount when done, try to round it off but if you can't - so what?
[/quote
that happen only one time to me. I was watching the tank and the pump had a odd dollar number so I started watching the pump and gas handle kicked back and gas all over the place, man I was pi$$ed. never again.

Re the comment about the price of gas, spare a thought for us over here in the UK where its currently the equivalent of around $9.00 per gallon.
