is it? i never hear of it got temperature compensation metering device  rclxub.gif , Petrol is flamerble so it is imposible to have one of that.
is it b4 you pum got ppl use that pum b4, new station sure more pll go lo, old station less ppl go tongue.gif (P.s: just a joke ok)
because slow deliver will make the petrol gas went out easy, this is theory also. wub.gif

ehhh Bro....all flowing liquid, either flammable or non-flammable, combustible or non-combustible, can be metered...this is what we see at the petrol dispenser booth display screen...the electronic flow meter would automatically detect if density of the liquid changes when temperature rises and otherwise....of course, this is what i know in theorylah... blush.gif

this is so not true...my friend own a petrol station...then he asked me to check it by my self...but no such thing as hoses for vapour return...just one way...and the pipe got only one...inside or outside...so where actually is the vapour return pipe?..

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 vapours that are
created, while you are pumping. All hoses at the pump
have a vapour return. If you are pumping on the fast rate,
some of the liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapour.
Those vapours are being sucked up and back into the
underground storage tank so you're getting less worth for
your money.

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT TIPS 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 air occupying
its empty space. Petrol evaporates faster than you can
imagine. Petroleum storage tanks have an internal floating
roof. This roof serves as zero clearance between the petrol
and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation.

Unlike service stations, here where I work, every truck that
we load is temperature compensated, so that every litre is
actually the exact amount.
if the car cary more petrol, wont it burn more fuel due to added weight ? so the savings from this can be neglected ? hmm.gif

This morning i heard from radio that FOMCA advice pumping petrol in the morning, pump at the lowest speed n try not to pump petrol when you see the oil tanker refilling the petrol station tank becos a lot of stain or rust will be floating inside, so when you pump petrol its a bit dirty.

I suggest you don't try that when there's a lot of people waiting in line. It takes a seriously long time just to fill up 60 bucks for me. Gonna try an alternative - set to high first then change to low when near my usual full tank amount.

I do noticed that I get a bit of extra mileage when I pump at half tank or before it hits half tank... once the meter hits half tank and below, it seems to go down pretty fast compared to from full to half tank. Not sure if it's really because of the evaporation or something else regarding the indicator.

i try to pump full tank... my average FC was 17km/L...
used the same petrol station and same pump machines... but the FC no consistent as well...

1st pump: speed fast @ 19km/L
2nd pump: speed slow @ 15km/L
3rd pump: speed slow @ 16km/L

between 1st and 2nd pump, maybe 1st pump no full tank yet and caused 2nd pump pumped more fuel for full tank...
but detection sensor problem happened on the same pump machine? doh.gif

3rd pump used slow speed same as 2nd pump, but no differences found... dry.gif
maybe lesser to travel on highway recently...
