Woahhh..Family and Friends. I am back. Surprise!!!!! or Just OK he is back so what??...(haha)
Anyway I bring u good tiding on a very very interesting n important tips. I am sure u people will benefit n save a lot of money "big big money okay" in the long run lah of course. The saying in Bahasa Malaysia "Sikit sikit lama lama jadi Bukit". Translated as: "Little by little in the long run will be a mountain". At the present Global situation where all things starting from things alive to animated, the prices will be increasing on a minute to minute basis.
So here it goes, how to save money while filling your vehicle.
1. 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 1degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business. But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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. Hope, this will help you get the maximum value for your money.
DO SHARE THESE TIPS WITH OTHERS! LET’S SHARE INFORMATION AND BENEFIT ALL, FOR THE BETTER OF MANKIND.
So thats it, Lets be happy and spread loves around.
LOVES TO ALL OF YOU PEOPLE OUT THERE. Muackkkkkkk...Muackkkkkkk...Muackkkk

Hello SpeedRacer~!!
That's a GOOD GOOD EXCELLENT article.. Clem & I will make sure to take note of this. And report the evaluation on this.
Many thanks~
Cheerios,
Den
Datz some good tip you got there. A clean engine is very important as well, no point in paying too much attention on d fuel, yet ur airfilter is clogged.
Cheers
