Tips on Filling your Vehicles...

>ONLY BUY OR FILL UP YOUR CAR OR BIKKIE 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 denser the fuel, when it gets warmer petrol expands,
so buying in the afternoon or in the evening.... Your litre is not exactly a litre.
>In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the petrol, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other >petroleum products play an important
role. A 1degree 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.

In slow mode, you should be pumping on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapours that  are created, while you are pumping. All hoses at the pump have a vapour return.

If you are pumping on the fast rate, some  of the liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapour. Those vapours are being sucked up and bac k 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 TANK IS HALF FULL.

The reason for this is, the more fuel you have in your tank, the less air occupying its empty space. Petrol evaporates faster  than you can imagine.
Petroleum storage tanks have an internal floating roof.

This roof serves as zero clearance between the petrol and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation.  >

ANOTHER REMINDER, IF THERE IS A FUEL TRUCK PUMPING INTO THE STORAGE TANKS, WHEN YOU  STOP TO BUY, DO NOT FILL UP - most likely
the petrol/diesel is being stirred up as > the fuel is being delivered, and you might  pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom.

> Hope, this will help you get the
maximum value for your money.
