Ok, does anybody have any ideas on the best way to put petrol in my softail without it getting on the tank? No matter how bloody hard i try or slow i go, some always dribbles on the tank and it shits me to tears
try this
should be able to find on ebay
Agree with BURTO.
Practice & Patience.
PS: I cup my free hand under the nozzle afore I move it back over the tank to the bowser.
When the girl and I go riding we always fill the Sporty and Fatboy up at the same time, so after many tanks I have sort of got the knack for filling the Harley with fuel.
But I must say the fuel filling system on the Harley Sporty and Fatboy would have to worst engineered filling system I have ever had on a bike. Surely Harley after all these years of evolution could have come up with a better system, and another thing I don't like about it is that the cap unscrews and you have to put it somewhere. Sure its a classic look but not a fuctional system.
yeah , what a pain in the arss , don't pull the handle full on , when nearly full pull the nozzle out and top up gently , this works at least one in ten times . .
Fuck me two pages on how to fill your tank WTF
???????????????????????????????????????
What use to catch me out was somebody before me would hear's first click and returns the pump leaving the line full.
you pull up be as carefull as you like going for the hole in your tank and it spews out every where.
Now when i grab the pump i empty it on the floor before it goes any where near my tank.sweet as!
Heres a thought LPG ?
