    Hi,
    Over on the Ditchpump forum is a post in ‘General Discussion’ section about a new Rocket 3 burning.
    Interesting if inconclusive post.
    Cheers,Ken.

    The owner said the pump kept filling and the fuel poured onto the manifold. The fuel tank insert is poorly designed - you can not see the level. Basically fill slowly, keep covered up and do not straddle bike on filling. He got burns but is alive to tell the tale

    I can’t see where the owner said ‘the pump kept filling’.
    But he seems to be assuming it did.
    Wouldn’t need much movement of the nozzle combined with a shallow tank and a body looking somewhere else, for the tank to overflow without there being a problem with the automatic supply cut off in the pump.
    IMO.
    Cheers,?Ken.
