Re: [Chrysler300] learned forgot an relearned

FYI: 

Gasoline is drawn from near the bottom of the tank at gas stations. The suction pipe is usually 2" - 6" from the bottom of the tank. If the tank has a couple of feet of water in it, everyone would get plain water instead of gasoline every time the pumps began pumping.

It is, however, as Jim says, a good idea never to buy gasoline after a tanker has dropped to the station. The accumulated dirt and whatever water there is will be stirred up. Water can take up to 10 minutes or so after the drop has ended to settle out. The other matter settles out very quickly.

  Hi list.A long time ago I learned that you never by gas if the tanker is in the station, or you see it pulling out.Droping 6000 gallons of gas into a under ground tank in about 15 minutes stirs up the swatter that is in the bottom of the tank .Caused by condensation ( sometimes a couple of feet ).Wednesday last I topped up the tank (22 gal) as I was out in the valley and gas was only 239 .its 245 to 255 hear on the coast unleaded regular.There was a tanker in the station just pulling out.  Will buy a new fuel filter today and change it after i get rid of this gas  . If the truck runs that long.I did not save any money as i bought water instead of gas and now have to buy a new filter ,probably not cheep 2003 dodge 2500 hemy.27000 miles.If someone learns from my bad ( there are a lot of youngsters in the club) then it is worth admitting i was stupid.And I think it is 300 related John. Jim McMullan 300 F and many more.
