Hi Jerry,

I have. A number of times. I sometimes push too hard when I know I'm
close and it has bitten me.

On 3 different occasions, I coasted, dead stick, up to the pump. That's
called cutting it too close. :-)

That's when I've seen the 4.291 figure when I fill it up to within about
an inch of the top of the neck.
