Do not pump full tank of gas/petrol

Postby Warmsoul/Jeanie13 » Sun Sep 28, 2008 6:28 pm

Many of us are not aware that the gas/petrol kiosk pump has a return pipe-line.

When the gas/petrol tank (in the car) reaches full level,there is a mechanism to trigger off the pump latch and at the same time a return-valve is opened (at the top of the pump station) to allow excess gas/petrolto flow back into the sump.

But the return gas/petrol has already passed through the meter, meaning you are donating the gas/petrol back to SHELL/CALTEX/MOBIL/ PETRONAS
