Tips Mengisi Petrol

Isikan petrol ke kereta/motosikal anda pada awal pagi.
Sebab: Pada suhu yang rendah petrol tidak mudah meruap, jadi anda dapat hampir jumlah liter petrol yang anda bayar.

Isikan petrol ke tangki secara perlahan
Sebab: Pada pam minyak, biasanya ada tiga tahap kelajuan pam, gunakan yang paling rendah dan anda boleh mengurangkan kadar kemeruapan petrol.

Isi petrol ketika tangki kenderaan separuh penuh
Sebab: Lebih banyak ruang udara dalam tangki petrol anda, lebih mudah petrol meruap.

Jangan isi petrol jika anda dapati terdapat lori tangki sedang menambah simpanan petrol di stesen tersebut.
Sebab: Kemungkinan besar ketika mereka sedang menambah stok, habuk akan terapung dan jika ketika itu anda mengepam petrol, keladak tersebut akan termasuk sekali ke tangki kenderaan anda.

Tips on Filling your Vehicles…

ONLY BUY OR FILL UP YOUR CAR OR BIKKIE 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 denser 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 of the petrol, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products play 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 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.

ANOTHER REMINDER, IF THERE IS A FUEL TRUCK PUMPING INTO THE STORAGE TANKS, WHEN YOU STOP TO BUY, DO NOT FILL UP
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.
