Some tips for filling petrol and diesel:-

Post by postman » Jul 07, 2009 Views: 1466

Only buy or fill up your car or bike during early morning, when the
ground temperature is still cold. Remember that all service stations have
their storage tanks underground.. The colder the ground, the more dense
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 play an
important role. 1 degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this
business. But the service stations do not have temperature compensation
at the pumps.

Another most important tip 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 is the air
occupying its empty space. Petrol evaporates faster than you can
imagine.

Another useful information is to avoid filling up if there is a fuel truck
pumping into the storage tanks when you stop to buy. 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.
