I pump my oil passionately, gently...but also firmly.
I don't know.
In Oregon we have poor people to pump our gas for us.

I'm fairly certain there's a safety mechanism in the pumps that sucks the vapors out of the tanks to help prevent the possibility of a fire.Bertster7 wrote:
Surely pumping fast would make more economic sense. Having your petrol tank open for the shortest possible time reduces the amount of time vapour has to escape - but you're only talking about really, really insignificant amounts. The temperature of the various companies storage systems for the fuel will play a much, much more important role.ATG wrote:
You are charged for what comes out the nozzle, but are given no credit for what is recovered in vapors, so yes, I pump on slow, in the morning when I can because the heat causes the fuel to expand and you actually pay a few cents more per gallon when its really hot.
And I only buy gas from Arco. Cheapest in town, just don't buy anything else there like smokes or sodas because that's where they try to make up their money.

petrol stations are meant to have something to make up for differences in temperatureby law.
so it doesnt matter what time of day you pump.

The reason we have people pump gas for us is because it creates jobs in our communities.. not because we are lazy.Mekstizzle wrote:
What......are you guys seriously talking about putting petrol into your car? What the fuck?
I guess maybe it's a big thing for North Americans as you have people that actually do it for you (lmao) ...

it used to be a service to pump your gas... wash your windows.... and check your oil in the US... Those days are gone...

New Jersey and Oregon are the only two states that are illegal to pump your own gas
