usually the fuel comes from a tank which is cooler than the air temp at the surface.
pump the fuel up and it'll expand, into a tank on top of a hot motor, it'll expand more.
( this expansion is why they suggest you not top off the tank on your car)
on our bikes the overflow is drained by a hose to the ground
IF you are going to be leaving the gas station and keeping the bike upright ( like interstate riding) you can hold the bike upright, squeeze every last drop in.--- and blast off right away--- after 10 or 15 miles you'll have consumed enough fuel to lean.
I have done this when fuel range was an issue.
