I had a mishap at the gas pump
I was filling up on the way back from camping and I had the pump running as I was cleaning windshield(the pump had a lock clip I didnt wedge something in there) and it didnt stop when full and started to overflow all over the back of the truck. It must have put a couple of gallons on the ground.
Then the truck started to run rough and black smoke came out the tailpipe and then it stalled ?(yes I had it running  as I was pumping gas)
It started back up a moment later and alls fine ,I saw a hose next to the office and hosed it down good.I also went inside to tell the guy so he could clean it up and he gave me a look because he had to get off his a$$.I wasnt in the mood to confront him about the couple of gallons I lost ,I was more concerned about hosing down the rig.
If he was pumping and it happened I would of had a $hit fit.
It must have backflowed into vent tube ,also it took a moment to settle down the fill tube.
This had never happend to me even if I wedge something in there, good thing no one was smoking

Re: I had a mishap at the gas pump
you know that gas tank is pressurized right? thats prolly why it stalled... thats why you get a check engine light if you leave the cap off because it cant pressurize... this prolly has something to do with why it overfilled... anyways thats just dangerous man, you always need to turn that thing off.

It was hot and the wife and dog were inside,I shut it off 99.9% of the time.Who knew I would be using a defective pump.
It never clicked off.
In NJ you have to let them pump it,it still would have happened if the guy walked away.

Re: I had a mishap at the gas pump
"DARWIN paging fourfourto!!!
Thankfully you didn't take out any innocent people who don't deserve to be around your stupidity. Leaving the engine running when filling up?
It's like saying 99% of the time you never leave your loaded gun in the kid's room. Jeebus.

I didnt say 99% I said 99.9% thats 1 in a thousand I dont think anyone hear doesnt leave it running at least once .
I never had the pump stick in 29 years of driving, I was very suprised 
funny thing several people at the pumps just stood there doing there thing and hardly noticiced...Whats with that must be the hummer.
I did myself 
I leave my rifle loaded all the time ,I dont have kids.
I do have them locked away when roaming kids like my brothers boys are over.
What good is a unloaded gun if you need it quick ?
I remember the days when everyone puled up to the pump with a cig lit and left it running.
I will tell the tale to the new group of drivers ed kids in september,I will admit to being stupid.

I've been waiting for that to go to video, haven't seen it yet. I read other opinions on the chopper forum, most thought it was good. Of course they mostly live and breathe bikes, they hate the RUB's (Rich,Urban,Bikers) portrayed in the movie. I personally don't see anything wrong with riding in shorts and tennis shoes, when it's hot. I'm reckless like that.
End thread-jack.
