Once I get to 3/4 of a tank, I find the nearest HD dealer and have them fill it. They only charge $70 in addition to the fuel cost and I have the comfort and confidence of knowing it was done correctly by a certified HD tech!

Ok, I stole that from the brilliant 'how do I put air in my tire" post.

I usually just call H.O.G. and have them dispatch a truck to fill it up for me. They usually have the McCuff with them. I do have to buy a new lifetime membership for each fill up, so I try to make sure I need one before using My HOG card

you should know where the best stations are if this route is a regular, if not why gamble that there will be a station open. 800lbs. is a lot to push

LMAO. Hope that makes sense.

I wanted to answer.... I fill my gas tank when it needs more gas added to it.
What he said! I do this also...Ya never know when the gauge or dummy light will go on the blink and this is another form of gas guage...Pardon the pun but, your mileage may vary!
