Refueling when you are in reserve is what we all do a little bit. Anyone who uses the trick of refueling once, to be safe for at least a couple of weeks.
It is actually a bad habitwhich, moreover, can have important consequences on portfolios and beyond.
Few people know, for example, that in summer the fuel density increases due to the high temperatures, so a liter of fuel delivered is not really a liter, but something less that you pay a lot more.
This is why it is not recommended to fill up in the car
The reason why it is not recommended to fill up, especially if you do not use the car often, is that the gasoline ages in a few days or weeks at most, so deteriorates and settles going to damage the tank or cause car trouble. When filling up, it is advisable to ask yourself how much it really pays to do so.
It cannot be overlooked then the risk of damaging both the injectors and the pump, or the petrol or diesel filter, leaving the car in reserve for a long time. Not everyone knows that driving with the car in reserve is risky not just because you can run out of fuel at any moment. If you don’t have a gas station nearby, this could become a real problem.
So what’s the truth? What is the best advice you can give, is it better to circulate with a half-empty tank or with a full one? The ideal is to have the tank filled up to a quarter before fullso as not to go into reserve and therefore circulate with the right fuel load.
Advice on how to put fuel in the car tank
With regard to the dispensing gun of the petrol pumps, this should never be used to the maximum, indeed it should be refueled slowly because in this way less steam is created, so you save money. In this case, the fuel comes in liquid form and is all fuel.
In the summer season, it is recommended to refuel early in the morning, because with the increase in temperature the density of the fuel also increases, whether it is diesel or petrol it does not matter because nothing changes. Finally, it is advisable to avoid refueling when you are draining the fuel because in this case it is certain that the gasoline is not clean. Making fuel while the truck is unloading, they go to also pour the residues into the tank which usually accumulate underneath. The result is that both the tank and the vehicle system in general are damaged.
