Having played with petrol quite a bit as a kid (I had field bikes so had fuel), I have seen how sudden it can ignite and the power and instantaneous heat that can be produced ... its not something to take unnecessary risks with ... I don't even like topping the bike up (via jerry can) after coming straight back in - you can feel the heat bellowing from the engine and exhaust still .. I have spilt fuel on a hot engine before and noting came of it, but again asking for trouble, so I try and avoid it!!

I pushed my Kawa GPZ 2 miles backwards along the M4 when I ran out of gas then up a huge hill towards the fuel station. I found a big pop bottle in the weeds so carried it off to the station to save pushing the bike another half mile. They wouldn't let me fill it to walk back to the bike I had to go back while they watched me heave it up the hill, *******s! Just their job I spose.

To be fair petrol is nasty stuff ... it'd probably have melted the plastic bottle, the petrol would have gone everywhere and you would still have had to pus the bike!!
Next time, make sure you have enough tools to take the petrol tank off adn then leave the bike, but take the tank!!!
