Just thought i'd share with the FH family.



*I've been in petroleum pipeline business for about 31 years, currently working for the Kinder-Morgan Pipeline here in San Jose, CA. We deliver about 4 million gallons in a 24-hour period from the pipe line; one day it's diesel, the next day it's jet fuel and gasoline. We have 34 storage tanks here with a total capacity of 16,800,000 gallons. Here are some tricks to help you get your money's worth:

1. Fill up your car or truck in the morning or at night when the temperature is still cool. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground; and the colder the ground, the denser the gasoline. When it gets warmer gasoline expands, so if you're filling up in the
afternoon or in the evening, what should be a gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum business , the specific gravity and temperature of the fuel (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products) are significant. Every truckload that we load is temperature-compensated so that the indicated gallonage is actually the amount pumped. A one-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for businesses, but service stations don't have temperature compensation at
their pumps.

2. If a tanker truck is filling the station's tank at the time you want to buy gas, do not fill up; most likely dirt and sludge in the tank is being stirred up when gas is being delivered, and you might be
transferring that dirt from the bottom of their tank into your car's tank.

3. Fill up when your gas tank is half-full (or half-empty), because the more gas you have in your tank the less air there is and gasoline evaporates rapidly, especially when it's warm. (Gasoline storage tanks have an internal floating 'roof ' membrane to act as a barrier between the gas and the
atmosphere, thereby minimizing evaporation.)

4. If you look at the trigger you'll see that it has three delivery settings: slow, medium and high. When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to the high setting. You should be pumping at the slow setting, thereby minimizing vapors created while you are pumping. Hoses at the pump are corrugated; the corrugations act as a return path for vapor recovery from gas that already has been metered. If you are pumping at the high setting, the agitated gasoline contains
more vapor, which is being sucked back into the underground tank, so you're getting less gas for your money. Hope this will help ease your 'pain' at the pump.

5. Do not top off your gas tank, when the pump shuts off, do not keep trying to add more gas..................a friend who owns a gas station says that by doing th is, you are actually giving the next customer a $1.00 worth of gas. The gas you pump stays in the hose and never makes it to your tank...........good to know.

Wow that was interesting. Who cares if its a repost anyway. Some people like me didnt get to read it the first time haha.

Most of that is a load of crap anyway.

One thing is the tanks are buried in the ground deep enough to where the ground temp rarely changes.

Also the corrugation is simply a exterior portion of the hose the internal portion of the hose that the gas flows through is smooth bore.

Also the dirt theory is kind of bogus as well. The dirt will settle to the bottom of the tank if there is dirt in the tank. Also the in tank fuel pump has a filter just like the fuel pump in your car gas tank.

parents had an Ranger, was about 3 months old. They filled up one day when the tank was being filled... ended up going through three fuel filters before they just dumped the hole tank in the sewer and said fuck it

you say BS... i say test it... you will find that your not as right as you think you are

you cant argue with 30+ years of e-knowledge and 1 pipeline that delivers several products.

*reports omz to epa for dumping gasoline in the sewerz.*
