I'd guess the fuel shutoff is at the pump side of the hose, rather than the nozzle.




No, the mechanical shutoff is at the nozzle. Otherwise, all the fuel in the hose would continue to spill out after shutoff.

When buying premium, many gas pump jockeys will tap out whatever gas is in the line onto the pavement before handing you the nozzle. It's never more than a few drops.




I do the same thing, but it only clears out the nozzle. The hose is still full. As for octane, this compression ratio needs at least 92, and I don't care what Triumph says (I don't oil the chain every 200 miles either). The only way to stop a motor with this CR from rattling at low RPM with mid-grade or regular is to retard the timing.
