Can't say, except the last year when I last bought gas, for only the lawnmower, I needed to have a new style filler neck, but that only applied to stations with outside attendants. The people at the local cheap chain running the cashier inside couldn't care less about outside

Uh huh huh huh. Can you put it in a cup?

Approved fuel bag (blivet):

Then there are the big ones, tens of thousands, used for fuel farms.

Do you guys remember when a fuel pipeline went down around 2005? Almost everyone panic-bought, but I didn't hear of any of this nonsense.

Everything was fine before I needed to fill up.

This is why operating the pump should be left to professionals, as in Oregon and (New Jersey?)

Somehow our petrol is cheaper in Oregon where they require an attendant than California and Washington where they don't.

Somewhat recently the law changed allowing rural areas to forgo the requirement of an attendant.

Stations have always preferred I fill the motorcycle myself. They don't like being yelled at for splashing on the fuel tank. I can't even recall the last time someone else filled the motorcycle.

Gas is taxed higher in Washington than Oregon?

When we went to the field before deployment a Soldier said that filling up her HMMWV was the scariest thing she had ever done.

She was an MP.

Those take diesel, right? Should be nothing scary about that. Weird hearing a soldier saying filling up a vehicle is the scariest thing they have done. She knows the military kills people as their occupation, right?

We make other people die for their countries.

I don't know if they are technically designed for diesel or jet fuel, but I can share a video of a guy trying to light diesel and jet fuel.

It is pretty safe.
