[Chrysler300] Fw: Information on Buying Gas.

["Gary Barker" <gbarker@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This article is for Chrysler 300's only.    Deep in the Article they talk about how fast the new Gas evaporates.  I think this answers why we are having starting problems when are cars sit to long.  Gary Barker

TIPS ON PUMPING GAS   (Good information) 
I don't know what you guys are paying for gasoline.... but here in California 
we are also paying higher, up to $3.50 per gallon. But my line of work is 
in petroleum for about 31 years now, so here are some tricks to get more of 
your money's worth for every gallon.. 
  
Here at the Kinder Morgan Pipeline where I work in San Jose , CA we deliver 
about 4 million gallons in a 24-hour period thru the pipeline. One day is 
diesel the next day is j et fuel, and gasoline, regular and premium grades. 
We have 34-storage tanks here with a total capacity of 16,800,000 gallons.

  
Only buy or fill up your car or truck 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 more dense the 
gasoline, when it gets warmer gasoline expands, so buying in the afternoon 
or in the evening....your gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum 
business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the gasoline, diesel 
and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products plays 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 vapors that are c reated while you are pumping. All hoses at 
the pump have a vapor return. If you are pumping on the fast rate, some of 
the liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapor. Those vapors 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 gas tank is HALF 
FULL or HALF EMPTY. The reason for this is, the more gas you have in your 
tank the less air occupying its empty space. Gasoline evaporates faster 
than you can imagine. Gasoline storage tanks have an internal floating 
roof. This roof serves as zero clearance between the gas 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 gallon is actually the exact amount. 
  
Another reminder, if there is a gasoline truck pumping into the storage 
tanks when you stop to buy gas, DO NOT fill up--most likely the gasoline is 
being stirred up as the gas 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 most value for your money.
