Thread: Gas science?

Tweet

Well, I don't care about the science, but I know that my local gas "pusher" has "temperature compensated pumps", and now my tank that holds 15 Imp. Gallons will hold 17 or so. Can we say, "RIPOFF!"

1) Gasoline pumps compensate for termperature and density. Although it reads out in gallons the pump actually is measuring out the mass that goes through it.

2) Storage tanks are generally underground where the temperature does not fluxuate more than a couple degrees pretty much year around.

Your paper gets my BS flag.
