Important points to be taken care of while filling Petrol

Only buy or fill up your car or bike 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 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.
Hope this will rhelp you get the most value for your money.

DO SHARE THESE TIPS WITH OTHERS! AS IT IS IMPORTANT FOR AS MANY PEOPLE TO
KNOW ABOUT

THIS AS POSSIBLE, IN THE WAKE OF RISING PETROL PRICES.
