Gas station bike policy

[Coldkiwi]

Went to fill the LPG bottle on Sunday. I happened to notice a guy get an old plastic container out of the car and start filling it. Wife and kids patiently waiting. He finished the job and the put the bloody thing on the floor by the front passengers seat, paid and drove off. I wonder if BP have a policy about that.

PS. Who saw the gas station scene in Zoolander?

hehe, I was wondering if someone would mention that scene!! unk: damn funny

I thought the LPG dispenser could only be operated by staff and would only connect to a proper gas valve? sounds flippin scary!

have many others been asked to remove their helmets before entering the "shop" in order to pay for the petrol. Mainly at BP stations.Is this a common occurance or just happen to me??

My biggest problem is having cash handy, leaving my helmet on and waiving it around waiting for the attendent to come and collect it. Fortunately most stations have a night pay slot and I stick the money in that.

No problems down here, always sit on the bike while filling, when you ride a Sporty you need to get every last drop in - the tank ain't THAT big!!!
I stay on the bike while Mrs S-D (a.k.a. Chrissy-Bimbo) goes into the office and pays. At the odd time I have been solo I have walked in with helmet on and no worries - of course the fingerless gloves make it easier on those occassions to get the cash out of the pockets

Who saw the gas station scene in Zoolander?

When I was working in security I was shown footage of a guy who goes into the gas station, picks up a new petrol can, fills it up goes up to the counter, orders cigs and matches.

When he recieved the matches he promptly poured pertol all over the attendant and asked him if he wanted to die, realk calm like.

He then told him flipping the panic alarm might be enough electricity to set him alight. Fill the bag with cash and ciggies or die.

Talk about low cost robbery, but one hell of a risk, the tape clearly shows slops going all over the offenders legs.

Would you co-operate?

If the container being filled isn't an approved fuel container I think you will find the gas station can be fined big time.

Well at the end of last year I ran out of fuel on the bike and had to sit pillion (once the bugger came back to look for me) to a servo were I asked for there fuel can that they lend out...... They dont have one as it keeps getting nicked, I said well what the bloody hell do I do now then cos they dident even have one to sell to me.
Well the two behind the counter muttered a bit and then went and got a expired 1-1/4 coke bottel drained the coke out went out side filled it up I paid for the petrol only shoved it down my frount and we headed back to my bike.

Yes a bit dodgy but I realy appresiated it as what else could I have done but push the damn thing to the servo.

Yes and given enough "thermal encouragement" most pet products are spontaneously combustible when mixed with petrol.

As a one of for a short distance no prob bob.

Put the same bottle (without a suitable ventilation hole) under your house in summer od in the boot of your cage and you stand a pretty good chance of claiming on your insurance.
