How Full is Full?

[AY4B]

Fill till it clicks off then pull the nozzle out a little and run it slow till it spits out the vent like Ann described. Once it does that, dont do it again because you may over fill it. You should see the level right to the bottom of that filler neck, If you dont do that and ride in a group, you may run out before you get to the destination. That happened to a lady riding with us to Spyderfest last April in the rain.

Another good question is when to Refill. Dont wait till you get to the last bar or the low fuel light comes on. Once your gas level starts to make you think about it, pull over and fill up. It will give you a needed break anyways. No need to occupy your mind about your gas level. It will allow you to enjoy your ryde so much better and relax.

OK, since when did the common sense of pumping gas become so complicated? :yikes:

"Top off the tank" is exactly that... filling it that last bit.

BUT.....there is a point past which you should NOT go.
Having it too full is a bad thing.

AND making most gas delivery nozzles run "slowly" is nearly impossible.

Hmmmm......speaking of which..

The point is.................

No one really knows how much fuel you can stuff into a spyder, and no one knows how much wood a woodchuck can chuck. Some of these posts can just get down right ridiculous at times. :banghead: :gaah: nojoke But, like most of us I just keep on'a read'n because it's Sunday I guess. :roflblack: :dontknow:

Some of you like to use that there "auto fill" method......you're in for a heck of a surprise when it doesn't shut off by itself:yikes:

Just another "slow day" discussion subject. We all have the choice to read or not to read--that is the question. A little paraphrased Shakespearean humor if you can figure it out. Hamlet knows. :roflblack::roflblack:

Filler Gizmo

This came with my Spyder, but it makes topping off real easy when you have nanny filler nozzles

I am sooo glad that the NFL Season hit full stride today! :roflblack:

I fill to about 1/2" from the opening each time I fill up. That way I can figure the actual gas mileage I'm getting. I also round it the nearest 1/10th on the pump. Makes for easier math in the figuring.

I'm outta popcorn.....opcorn: How full should I refill my bag?

I get it.
It's like trimming nose hair.
You can trim a bit inside or let it come to the outer edge for a different effect.
perfectly clear now.
