Filling Fuel - Pump keeps cutting out

[R_Josh]

I have been riding around on my bike for a couple months now and I am having trouble putting fuel in it. I thought I will eventually get the hang of it.

The problem is that I have to fill the tank really really slowly other wise the pump cuts out.

Takes me an absolute age to fill fuel - Please HELP, What am I doing wrong?!

Thanks in advance.

Hmm... I am very serious

I just want to know if this is common or am I doing something dumb...

Don't dump it all the way in the tank, I get mine just resting inside the tank and fill to the top/until fuel splashes over my already stained jeans.

Depends on the shape of your tank. I guess you are just pointing the nozzle straight down. Try pointing it towards your bars.

Don't put the whole fuel nozzle in the tank, put it so it's o lying just in the tank then it won't keep cutting out

Thanks for the fast* reply.

I kept trying to have it deep as possible to try and make it not cut out.

I will try what you guys have suggested.

It's cutting out because you have it to far in. They cut out when the fuel reaches the end of the nozzle so you don't overflow the tank

[innuendo]I always refuel with it only just into the opening of the tank, can usually pump it fast at the start but you need to slow down as it fills up to avoid splashback on the nozzle[/innuendo]

Sit the bike upright when refueling and have the pump nozzle end JUST and no more at the tip of the fuel tank and slow the rate down towards the end to prevent sqooshing fuel all over bike.

This is highly fucking annoying at many US filling stations, where the nozzle can only be activated if a collar around the spout is compressed. When used on a motorcycle tank, you need to manually compress the collar with your other hand. And it's not clean.

I have a mare at work filling iveco dailys, as the idiots designed the filling hose to bend too much, fuel always gets backed up, struggling to fill a bike is criminal however

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Remember, there's no such thing as a stupid question. If you've never been shown before how were you to know. Fair play for asking Bikes are tricky things when you first start out.
A friend of mine (non biker) assumed that all motorcycles were automatic because he couldn't figure out how a gear lever would work...
