Premium but that's not what I want to know

Petrol doesn't sit around in the hoses, they drain completely when the pumps shut off.

OP has a fair question. The reservoirs are usually a decent amount of distance underground and a pump had to add some fluid head to the regular gas up to the dispenser that doesn't just disappear when you select a different grade of gas. I doubt it flushes out the amount of normal gas that's held up in the line / hose itself when you switch grades, but the lines leading up to the pump are good. I'd say there's maybe a gallon of reg. gas in the line and then the rest if good?

Your friend is a sperg the line will likely have a lower test grade of fuel left over, but it is 1/3 gallon max. It won't hurt your bike. If it would hurt your bike you would know it and you would be getting your fuel from VP or some other supplier of race fuel and not random gas stations

At most you only get 1/4-ish of a gallon of whatever the person had before you. Nothing to worry about.

no it absolutely does not. There would be a second or two delay before fuel begins to pump if that was true and thats not how they work.
>>16697793
The different octanes are connected to the pump at the bottom of the dispenser.

That's a ton of you're filing a bike with a 4 gallon tank. If you're just topping off it might mean that you're not getting any of the premium fuel you paid for.

That's what I'm thinking. The place I go with the pumps like that has very long hoses so you can fill up either side.

you dont get that much m8 otherwise you'd know about it when your engine started shitting itself.

right?

Or the knock sensor retards the shit out of your timing.

>second or two delay

Dude, there's like a 5-10 second delay before fuel starts pumping with literally every petrol pump i've ever used.

I can't imagine Ausfalia would be radically different to the US, surely?

If there seriously isn't a huge delay on pumps in the US then i'd say you guys are absolutely getting fucked.

I drive an old Cadillac. If this was the case, my shitter would have shaken itself apart by now.

Different nossle and lines for each different fuel in Aus

It usually takes a few seconds for the pump to turn on, and I'm pretty sure that's because the guy at the counter turn on the pump as some security thing.
>>16697698
Never seen a pump like this in Australia though. All out octanes have different hoses.

This is not true, I used to work at a gas station. Shit just pops in after a couple seconds of delay
