Gasoline Tips - Does it work? You decide:

Only buy or fill up your car or truck 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 gasoline, when it gets warmer gasoline expands, so buying
in the afternoon or in the evening....your gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products plays an important role. A 1-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business. But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps.

When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to a fast mode. If you look you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low, middle, and high. In slow mode you should be pumping on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapors that are created while you are pumping.
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 becomes vapor. Those vapors are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you're getting less gas for your money.

One of the most important tips is to fill up when your gas tank is HALF FULL or HALF EMPTY. The reason for this is, the more gas you have in your tank the less air occupying its empty space. Gasoline evaporates faster than you can imagine. Gasoline storage tanks have an internal floating roof. This roof serves as zero clearance between the gas and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation. Unlike service stations, every truck that is loaded is temperature compensated so that every gallon is actually the exact amount.

Another reminder. If there is a gasoline truck pumping into the storage tanks when you stop to buy gas DO NOT fill up--most likely the gasoline is being stirred up as the gas is being delivered and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom of the underground tanks.

totoo po yng tip nyo n yan sir!!very good post

boss! korek 8's important na tlaga ang ganyang mga bagay lalo na sa Gas tips.. Because it can avoid of accident.. The important is always present in mind kc lahta ng mag Daan at may mga intructions, we use it will and put in our minds..

informative thnks :clap: :clap:

totoo po yng tip nyo n yan sir!!very good post

ate kers :laugh: ni sir ka? :think: :boxer:


anyways eto pa dagdag ko....#1ung tires nyo check nyo kung pantay pantay ung hangin nya.... #2 pag mag start kau ng kotse always painitin muna ang makina mag 2-3 minutes b4 ka umandar :D para d mahirapan ung makina mo.... un lang po muna :D

:nice:, cge try ko yung tips..

anyways eto pa dagdag ko....#1ung tires nyo check nyo kung pantay pantay ung hangin nya....

where po makikita ung required na hangin ng tires? i don't read the manual thingy that comes with the car :slap:

thanks for the tips..:)

where po makikita ung required na hangin ng tires? i don't read the manual thingy that comes with the car

iris...i think it depends... sa size ng tire nung car namen is r15 hangin ko sa car 30 sa harap 30 sa likod....pag medyo madami u sakay 30 sa harap 32 sa likod... ang mararamdaman mo ung car mo pag masyadong maalog sa loob heheh baban mo pede mong gawin 28 and 28... and pag may sakay 28 and 30... nabasa ko kasi sa manual ng car namin yan :D

ganun ba? mine is 16 or 17 yata, so 30 na rin sasabihin ko sa attendant next time :clap:

no name alam ko bmw e 17....pero malapad naman ung gulong nun heheh hmmmm bsta pakiramdaman mo muna iris kung msyado ung matalbog pag drive u eh bwasan mo ng 2... ok :D hehhe drive safely :D

iris check mo rin to kasi iba required tlaga ng bmw heheh

running flat ung tires nun kaya safe pa ako :lol: but my mazda's tire daw is 16 and malimit na syang lumambot kaya nagkakaproblem ako...i dunno what to tell the attendant pag tinatanong ako...thanks for the tips :thumbsup:

awwww naguluhan ako iris...meaning 17 radius ng gulong un....not the pressure.... r17 ung sa bmw and sa mazda kung 2.0 ung car mo e 17 ata un pag 1.6 ba or 1.8 e 16 lang yun... pag mag isa lang u sa car ok lang ung 30-30 iris...ganun gnagawa ko pag puno ako ng sakay 30-32 heheh para mabilis parin takbo ng car mo hheheh....

dapat hindi maging kaskasero pag magmaneho tapos biglang magbbreak sayang ng gasolina yang ganyan :)

chundyong ihihihi opo tama yun and regular check up ng sparkplug....and change oil every 5000km and ung air filter palitan na....

actually we're talking of the same thing...ung radius ng tire...my mazda has 16 nga pala...although christmas wish ko na ring mapalitan kc palagi na syang malambot...hehe..thanks for your tips :salute:

ate kers :laugh: ni sir ka? :think: :boxer:


anyways eto pa dagdag ko....#1ung tires nyo check nyo kung pantay pantay ung hangin nya....

not necessarily pantay-pantay ang pressure ng lahat ng gulong. generally, rear tires have higher pressure compare to front tire. just follow your car's manual.

#2 pag mag start kau ng kotse always painitin muna ang makina mag 2-3 minutes b4 ka umandar :D para d mahirapan ung makina mo.... un lang po muna :D

i have read an article that this popular belief isn't good, and much worse it can bring damage to your car. and i believe in it. it goes something like this:
Contrary to popular belief, idling isn't an effective way to warm up your vehicle, even in cold weather. The best way to warm it up is to drive it. In fact, with today's engines, you need no more than 30 seconds of idling on winter days before you start to drive.
The notion that idling is good for your vehicle is passé – in fact, it hasn't been the right thing to do since the advent of electronic engines. The truth is that excessive idling can damage the engine.
The reason? An idling engine isn't operating at its peak temperature, which means that fuel doesn't undergo complete combustion. This leaves fuel residues that can condense on cylinder walls, where they can contaminate oil and damage parts of the engine. For example, fuel residues are often deposited on spark plugs. As you spend more time idling, the average temperature of the spark plug drops. This makes the plug get dirty more quickly, which can increase fuel consumption by 4 to 5 percent. Excessive idling also lets water condense in the vehicle's exhaust. This can lead to corrosion and reduce the life of the exhaust system.
Besides, what's often forgotten is that idling warms only the engine – not the wheel bearings, steering, suspension, transmission and tires. These parts also need to be warmed up, and the only way to do that is to drive the vehicle.
Perhaps you're concerned that continually shutting off and restarting the vehicle is hard on the engine. But studies show that frequent restarting has little impact on engine parts such as the battery and starter motor. The wear on components that restarting the engine causes adds about $10 a year to the cost of driving – money that you'll likely recover several times over in fuel savings from reduced idling.
So, when should you turn off the engine? Believe it or not, more than 10 seconds of idling uses more fuel than restarting the engine. As a rule of thumb, if you're going to stop for 10 seconds or more – except in traffic – turn the engine off. You'll save money. And your vehicle won't produce harmful emissions of carbon dioxide, the principal greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change.

sir i think it applies on all vehicles...:)

basta ang 17 e hindi swak sa 1.6 - 1.8 kasi mhihrapan ang makina sa bigat ng rims.. grabe...

NGAYON KO LANG NABASA TO AH... :lol:

:pacute: BABAE PO AKO :lmao:

SANA NAKATULONG ANG INFO :D LALO NA SA PANAHON NGAYON NA NAPAKA MAHAL NG GAS :D

Nice posts, indeed, it' s very helpful. But for me & based on my experience, the following tips might help us.

1. Avoid Bad Driving habits - Kelangan hindi mabigat ang paa sa accelerator pedal, avoid sudden stops (unless necessary) or use the engines power to glide smoothly (hindi coasting). Don' t drive as if you are on a race track.
2. Always ensure that the mechanical condition of ur car is good. Check ur spark plugs, clean them regularly by soaking them in gas, or lihain mo yung bulutong kung meron na, but ensure to have the correct gap. Check the idling & timing of the engine, too.
3. Do not overload. Remove unnecesary loads in your car.The heavier the vehicle, the more gas it will consume.
4. Regularly check your tire' s pressure. Ensure that you have the correct tire pressure.
5. Plan your trips and use common sense..:)

Boss.. very good tips mahalaga yan talaga lalo na sa mga gumamit ng gas...:thumbsup:

nice one.. :thanks:

gud tips!

weehhh... tamang tama para sa padyak ko :)
