If it's not the ethanol that will get you... it's the temp too....

I saw something about this on the local news here a couple weeks back. Not much we can do but complain to our non-effective government about changing some outdated standards as I understood it at the time I saw the story.

pump gas at night

LOL hot part of the day here is betwen about 5-7pm so I suppose that would work if you pump it at like say midnight. If I remeber right the correct temp is around 65 degrees, so if your in a hot part of the country like say Az. then your really screwed.

My dad always did tell me to buy gas early in the morning, vs midday.

Maybe I don't understand the artical. But all of tha gas stations I visit have the storagetanks under ground. Actually I worked a a gas station in high school (14 years ago) and even then they had a temp probe in the tank. I don't remeber it getting very hot at all?? Don't get me wrong, I think the oil companies are a bunch of crooks! Again maybe I am missing something?

Thats the dumbest thing Ive ever heard. Like luv2cheat said the tanks are UNDERGROUND, if you dig anything past a certain the temp stays constant. I cant remember how deep you have to go, but at a certain point the temperature stays at a constant 50 some odd degrees. Also, if the fuel was relly that "hot" it'd burn your hand as you pump. Or at the very least youd feel the handle get a lot warmer.

Ever seen those delivery trucks for fuel with the hoses?
I DONT buy gas from the station that is being refilled
or has been refilled recently. I would guess that the gas
in the truck is warmer than the gas underground. My thinking
is that all the trash and water are stirred up when the
underground tanks are being refilled. Who wants that
soupy mess in their Stangs gas tank?
