Gas drips on tank

Has anyone used this or have any other ideas to sure the drips & splatters off tank when filling......... http://www.mccuff.com/

Reason i'm looking cuz my bike is Plast-Dip and I understand it hates gas.........

Never had a problem before in 35 years of riding but this stuff got me thinking. Don't want to tape off bike and paint tank again even though it will peal off easily

I have those before but don't know anyone that uses one. With your issue, I don't see why you wouldn't use one.

I just use my hand and dont get in a hurry. No drips on the paint, no overflow.

If I drip or spill some fuel on the tank, I just wipe it off with a microfiber and spray polish. Doesn't hurt the paint at all.

Don't know about Plati-dip but I rattle canned a crotch rochet tank with Rust-Oleum and it's ok as long as I wipe it right then and there. I try not to let it sit on the paint for much more than a minute or two.

I've never used that before....but I will say don't get gas on Plasti Dip for even a few seconds. If that thing will keep the gas off of your dip...use it.
