What to do if your motorcycle fuel tank overflow when pumping gas?

Ok, this just happened to me a few hours ago. I was fueling my motorcycle at a gas station. The automatic shut-off valve from the hose was not working properly and there was gasoline all over my motorcycle.

What should I do to ensure nothing will get damage? I'm very concern about the chrome and the paint. The good thing, gasoline evaporates quickly and before leaving the gas station I was able to wash the gasoline away.

Thanks for any advice out there!

Very few of the things ever work on a motorcycle. Its just standard, '95% of people are cardrivers' BS.

But I would not worry about the motorcycle. It is expected, that you will spill gasoline, motor oil, and many other solvents, in, on and around your motorcycle, and after a brief soaking they seem to come through fine. As long as you use factory paint, that is. Chrome? Not a problem.

I have a 30 year old motorcycle and it shows a bit of fading to the Candy Sapphire Blue tank. Imagine how much progress they have made over the last 30 years. (Its not like carpaint, where GM made a batch of cars in the 70's that used a new painting compound, and it all turned white and came off after 5-10 years.)

The real problem is it may be over full, and the gas cap may allow it to overflow. You don't want to drive around with a gasoline soaked crotch! If you ever carried a zippo lighter and overfilled it on a hot day, and had lighter fluid irritate your skin, you'll know what I am talking about.
