It's interesting Gadge, I put a BMW on the train at Wagga Wagga in the mid sixties sending it to Melb and all they wanted me to do was drain the tank. Of the bikes I have shipped out from here over the years on bike transports I can't recall any of them asking if the fuel tank was drained, and of course none of them would have been because I would have been test riding them before they left. There usually wouldn't have been much fuel in them but the certainly would not have been completely empty. Obviously the bike transport companies don't worry about it
