So what's the moral of this story? Never fill up beside a biker, or never fuel up beside an RV, or both? I'm thinking both.
Don't go to gas stations. They're too dangerous.

I know it's a dead horse and such... but I have read this many times in this forum. Is this officially documented anywhere?
Out of curiosity I decided to read my Jayco manual to look for this. Here is what I found:
"The propane cylinder(s) should be turned off when traveling. Most refrigerators will keep food cold or frozen for eight hours without running while you travel"

That cranking motor (starter) is somewhat sealed, of course, but it is NOT vapor tight, and it is only 1 to 2 feet off the ground! Perhaps we should have second thoughts about starting the engine while sitting at the pumps?

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 youโre inquiring or what that has to do with the discussion. Itโs 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 itโs not just running all over the ground it is running all over a potential ignition sourceโฆ..a very hot engine and pipes.
