4 Tips on Pumping Gas

March 24, 2011 - PRLog -- Our source for this article is an individual with about 31 years experience in the petroleum industry.  He was kind enough to share some actions to take that will help you get more out of your money.

1) It is wise to buy or fill up your vehicle as early in the morning as possible, or when ground temperatures are still cool. Be advised that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below the surface. The cooler the ground the more dense the gasoline.  Obviously, when it gets warmer liquid expands.  As a result, buying in the afternoon or in the evening is not recommended.  A gallon might not actually be a gallon.

2) When you’re filling up your car, you should not squeeze the trigger of the pump to a fast mode Triggers have 3 speeds (low, medium, and high).  He advises that one should be pumping on low mode, thereby minimizing the vapors that are created while pumping gas. 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 can become steam. Those vapors are being sucked up and back into the storage tanks, so in retrospect, you are getting bang for your buck.
