I had my motorcycle tank filled and tyres with air.

1) I went to a petrol pump. I had my motorcycle tank and tyres filled with petrol and air.
2) I had my motorcycle tank filled.
3I had my motorcycle tyres filed with air and continued my journey.

Pleas correct my sentences.

1. It's not a good idea to fill your tank with air and your tyres with petrol. You need to separate the things out into what you had filled with what.
2. That's OK.
3. That's OK.

I would write:
I went to the petrol station to fill up my tank and pump my tyres.

It is understood what you fill your tank with and what you pump your tyres with.

 

[emsr2d2]

I went to the petrol station to fill [up] my tank and pump up my tyres.

It is understood what you fill your tank with and what you pump up your tyres with.

As you can see above, "up" is optional after "fill" but not after "pump".

I pumped my tyres.

I filled my tyres with air.

 

[emsr2d2]

I pumped up my tyres.

In post #4, I told you that "up" is required after "pump". Why have I had to make that correction again?

I pumped up my tyres.

I filled my tires with air.

OK

Did you hear about the thief going around stealing the wheels from squad cars?
Police are working tirelessly to catch him.

(This joke doesn't work with British spelling.)

I suppose the squad cars got to be retired.

I am sorry for that.
