I purchase fuel at the same pump most every time. I fill it and let it click off 3 times. I don't see how you can look down the tube to see how much is in there.

I try to fill up at the same pump every time. Its a pay@pump, so i dont have to take off helmet or anything (Im a Biker). Bike on side stand, fill until at bottom of tank filler neck pipe thing, then pump up to the nearest 10p/£1.. pretty consistent £13..

Oh, and im a shaker, gottta get every last drop.

Anyone else noticed that sometimes the fuel starts flowing a second before the number start counting?.. couple of ml free fuel?
