Tips and techniques on getting petrol at the bowser

[Dauphin]

Some interesting points I recently heard about filling up and how to get more petrol:

- Always keep a full tank as possible. Less air space in the tank means less evaporation.

- When you finish filling up, always jiggle the nozzle.

- If you have selected a pre-paid amount on the bowser, let it fill to that amount and stop automatically. Keep the trigger pressed in and lift the hose up so the fuel in that section empties into your tank.

- Don't overfill your tank as fuel will just go out an overfill pipe around corners.

- Fill your tank at a slower speed on the nozzle trigger because at a high speed flow there is more chance of fuel splashing about into the tank and evaporating before it's gone in.

- Petrol is more denser in colder temperatures, so try to buy it first thing in the morning, giving you more for your money.

- Stop and start your filling various times at the browser, as apparently it will give you a tiny bit extra and not register on the machine each time.

- Screw your fuel cap tightly to keep it as airtight as possible.

- Don't fill up when a fuel truck is delivering fuel, as the fuel going into the storage tanks can bring up gunk from the bottom of the storage tank and go into your tank.
