TIPS ON PUMPING GAS

I don't know what you guys are paying for gasoline.... but here in
California we are paying up to $3.75 to $4.10 per gallon. My line of
work is in petroleum for about 31 years now, so here are some tricks
to get more of your money's worth for every gallon: Here at the Kinder
Morgan Pipeline where I work in San Jose, CA we deliver about 4
million gallons in a 24-hour period thru the pipeline.. One day is
diesel the next day is jet fuel, and gasoline, regular and premium
grades. We have 34-storage tanks here with a total capacity of
16,800,000 gallons. Only buy or fill up your car or truck in the early
morning when the ground temperature is still cold. Remember that all
service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The
colder the ground the more dense the gasoline, when it gets warmer
gasoline expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening....your
gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum business, the
specific gravity and
the temperature of the gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and
other petroleum products plays an important role. A 1-degree rise in
temperature is a big deal for this business. But the service stations
do not have temperature compensation at the pumps. When you're filling
up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to a fast mode If you look
you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low, middle, and
high. You should be pumping on low mode, thereby minimizing the vapors
that are created while you are pumping. All hoses at the pump have a
vapor return. If you are pumping on the fast rate, some of the liquid
that goes to your tank becomes vapor. Those vapors are being sucked up
and back into the underground storage tank so you're getting less
worth for your money. One of the most important tips is to fill up
when your gas tank is HALF FULL. The reason for this is the more gas
you have in your tank the less air occupying its empty space.
Gasoline evaporates faster than you can imagine. Gasoline storage
tanks have an internal floating roof. This roof serves as zero
clearance between the gas and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the
evaporation. Unlike service stations, here where I work, every truck
that we load is temperature compensated so that every gallon is
actually the exact amount. Another reminder, if there is a gasoline
truck pumping into the storage tanks when you stop to buy gas, DO NOT
fill up; most likely the gasoline is being stirred up as the gas is
being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally
settles on the bottom.To have an impact, we need to reach literally
millions of gas buyers. It's really simple to do. I'm sending this
note to about thirty people. If each of you send it to at least ten
more (30 x 10 = 300)...and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300
x 10 = 3,000) and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth
generation of
people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers !!!!!!! If
those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each,
then 30 million people will have been contacted! If It goes one level
further, you guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!! Again,
all you have to do is send this to 10 people. How long would it take?
