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.
