Filling The Fuel Tank - Triumph Rocket III Manual

General Information

Filling the Fuel Tank

Avoid filling the tank in rainy or dusty
conditions where airborne material
can contaminate the fuel.
Caution
Contaminated
damage to
components.
Fill the fuel tank slowly to help
prevent spillage. Do not fill the tank
to a level above the bottom of the
filler neck. This will ensure there is
enough air space to allow for fuel
expansion if the fuel inside the tank
expands through absorption of heat
from the engine or from direct
sunlight.

After refuelling always check that the
fuel filler cap is correctly closed and
locked.
Warning
Overfilling the tank can lead to fuel
spillage.
If fuel is spilled, thoroughly clean
up the spillage immediately and
dispose of the materials used
safely.
Take care not to spill any fuel on
the engine, exhaust pipes, tyres or
any other part of the motorcycle.
Because fuel is highly flammable,
any fuel leak or spillage, or any
failure to observe the safety advice
given above may lead to a fire
hazard, which could cause damage
to property and injury or death to
persons.
Fuel spilled near to, or onto the
tyres will reduce the tyre' s ability to
grip the road. This will give rise to a
dangerous
potentially causing
motorcycle control and an accident.
