AFTER TAKING A 65 MILE RIDE I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION NEAR MY HOME TO FILL IT UP. I ALWAYS FILL IT UP BEFORE I PUT IT AWAY. THE TANK WAS ABOUT HALF FULL. AS I TOOK THE GAS CAP OFF THE VACUUM ESCAPED AS USUAL. I SET THE GAS CAP DOWN AND STARTED TO REACH FOR THE GAS PUMP WHEN GAS ERUPTED LIKE A FOUNTAIN SHOOTING UP TWO FEET AND SPRAYING GASOLINE ALL OVER ME, THE GAS PUMP, THE BIKE AND EVERYWHERE FOR ABOUT FIVE TO EIGHT SECONDS. AT LEAST A PINT OR MORE SPRAYED OUT LEAVING A FOUR FOOT DIAMETER PUDDLE. I WAS '!@#$% LUCKY THAT THERE WAS A SOUTH WIND AND I HAD PARKED THE BIKE WITH THE EXHAUST PIPES TOWARD THE WIND, WHICH KEPT THE SPRAYING GAS AWAY FROM THE HOT EXHAUST. I AM SO THANKFUL THAT I AM NOT IN A BURN UNIT TODAY. *TR
