As a MC rider I'm a little amazed a fellow rider would not tend to the nozzle and rely on the auto shut off to stop the pump. Moronic.
Well, my bike holds about 5.25 gallons. Not sure why you’re inquiring or what that has to do with the discussion. It’s just one of those things if you ride a bike you manually tend the pump and not rely on the auto shut off to stop the pump. In the event the shut off fails it’s not just running all over the ground it is running all over a potential ignition source…..a very hot engine and pipes.
I think what oldman was referring to was that a mc doesn't hold much fuel (as you pointed out) so it only takes a minute or to fill it. Therefore no need to put the nozzle on auto! Noticed he didn't put a question mark after the "really" so he wasn't questioning your reply, only agreeing to it.
For the record, when we had our TT I always left the fridge on propane, mainly due to the fact that when I pulled up to the gas pumps, the trailer was normally 25' or more away from the pumps. Now that we have a dp, I just run the fridge on the inverter.
