Dirt Bike / Scrambler no way to get off bike and pump. By virtue of its tall height, with side stand down, one is simply unable to pump full tank with the bike tilted at such at angle...

 

Then again... I've always been an ESSO/MOBIL guy ;-)

Applicable only to ppl who are vertically challenged.

 

It is possible to pump a scram while standing.

Use your eyes

Use your nose

Use your mouth

Use your ears

Use your arms

Use your legs

 

eyes to look for a petrol station

nose to smell whether is it really petrol and not diesel u r goin to pump

mouth to ask attendant to pump for u, and to tell cashier ur pump no.

ears to hear whether attendant ask u to get down ur bike to pump

arms to hold the pump

legs to stand still and support ur bike

 

and lastly, use your brain

when i saw this thread, i thought the thread starter was trying to ask us the way we pump in order to squeeze in more.

Hi guys, need to ask you something, when I pump in, after the petrol reach it cut off limit, it will stop. But I still want to pump a bit more, so I press the pump bit by bit, so that the petrol flow is lesser, so does it affect the amount of flow, or amount that I need to pay when I press the thing halfway?

the amount that you need to pay is expressed in the amount that you withdrew from the pump (in litres). even if the flow is lesser, the amount of petrol flowing out is still measured thus the flow will not affect the cost in any way. in simpler terms, pump slowly 15L = $20.00, pump with the lever fully depressed 15L also = $20.00

I dun really understand your question, but as long u dun stick the nozzle back into the slot, it counts as 1 full "session", thus u can pump in whatever fashion u wan. Hope that helped..
