Hold the fuel gun perpendicular to the Bike. A trick a more experienced scooter buddy of mine taught me. That said, I still take the pet carrier out just in case.
Happy New Year.

Yep Ive had the old petrol overflow on my left boot trying to squeeze a bit more in, till I read the advice on here, {Pet Carrier}? round our way its become known as a deep fat fryer, my mate stopped on Gingers Egg run at a chippy, on arrival at the kids hospital Andy whipped out his chippy dinner, Kin ell, another lad said, its got a Deep fat fryer too! and instantly got orders for Fish n chips etc

Pet Carrier=Underseat Compartment
I guess Piaggio does not put the "NO PETS" warning on your underseat compartment...

Guess Piaggio think we Brits are far more sensible that to think carry a pet in a hot enclosed plastic bucket is a good idea! 
But it would an idea baby carrier!
Just noticed that if you transpose your location it comes out at "Kill Cats" - could explain the warning sticker on your scoot |

I was going to say something to the same tune but I didn't want to fall into that "self hating american" stereotype.

That is a new one. I often have people read it as "Cats Kill New York Rider!"
It is speculated that the term Catskill was derived from the Dutch Settlers who most likely described our many rivers...as kills and bob cats or mountain lions...cats. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catskill_Mountains
