I do this and always have. There are big signs at the stations here - fill up on both sides, and queues of morons who seemingly can't read but get very annoyed when I go straight to the empty pump.

There is a collar on the inside of the filler tube to George's tank which stops people putting in the larger Diesel pump end in, er, so to tap. I fill it until the fuel is at the bottom of this collar which is consistent and leaves a couple of inches for expansion.

Spills kill bikers, and all that.
