Yep, just a momentary attention lapse or a sticky gas nozzle trigger and you
can end up with gas overflowing onto your hot pipes. Never happened to me,
but I did see it happen to a riding buddy. That's not the kind of flames you
want on your tank.
I do like the SHO's right side filler because the cheapest station in my
area is on the right side of a divided surface street, and usually the pump lane
closest to the street is open because people can't head into it from the
opposite direction to fill on their driver side. So it's the proverbial "quick
in 'n' out".
