The bike you mean lol

of course.......

Cripes! Lucky you had a drain plug and noticed straight away!!! Boss does sound understanding too

Yep,put the nozzle in the bloody tank,walked to passengers side to get the fuel card out of glovebox,and went to the pump.Then saw the green handle.Lucky the servo has a garage on premises,so a drum and spanner was at hand,took two of us to carry the mix away,put it this way we hoped no clown would throw a butt in our direction.Thought the tanks held 50 ltrs each but put in 120 and still a bit of room,just as well the tanks were only holding about 15-20 ltrs,gauge showed empty,nice to know we have a bit in reserve.

Iwas more pissed than him(boss)never put more than $110 at about $1.20ltr,so when it hit nearly $150 realised it was really empty,let alone the other $45 for petrol so $195 or so is my record filling total.

aaaaaaa draining fuel huh lol.. Brings back memories.. Oh thats right, twas just the other day I had to do the same haha lol[/QUOTE]


Always thought how the fark do people do it mix up pumps but not hard when mind not thinking properly at the time.Diesel into petrol is not bad,but otherway round not good.Fair enough with cars on diesel but the truck is a truck not a car so a no brainer really,as long as the bike gets petrol all is well.

she is running like a trooper at the moment :

Worth the wait we take it,good that the weather is looking good for a few days,even Hastings/Napier starting to worry about drying out.

so a no brainer really,as long as the bike gets petrol all is well.

hell that would make ya cry if deisel went in the bike..

[chanceyy]

Worth the wait we take it,

Makes you wonder how much it was struggling for the south island trip,and it sounded like it was fine for that.Still all fixed and ready to roll,the wait may not seem so long after a while lol.

she was in head winds all the way down ran like a trooper but I do have to admit its damn nice coming in from a ride & no oil splatter on her sides or me for that matter

hmm well next time she has to go in I will NOT drop her off just before a major ride .. all these damn lessons to learn ..
