Tips on PETROL SAVING

0 comments

1. Fill up your car or truck in the morning when the temperature is still cool. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground; and the colder the ground, the denser the gasoline.
When it gets warmer gasoline expands, so if you're filling up in the afternoon or in the evening, what should be a gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and temperature of the fuel (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum
products) are significant. Every truckload that we load is temperature-compensated so that the indicated gallon age is actually the amount pumped.. A one-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for businesses, but service stations don't have temperature compensation at their pumps.


2. If a tanker truck is filling the station's tank at the time you want to buy gas, do not fill up; most likely dirt and sludge in the tank is being stirred up when gas is being delivered, and you might be transferring that dirt from the bottom of their tank into your car's tank.


3. Fill up when your gas tank is half-full (or half-empty), because the more gas you have in your tank the less air there is and gasoline evaporates rapidly, especially when it's warm. (Gasoline storage tanks have an internal floating 'roof' membrane to act as a barrier between the gas and the atmosphere, thereby minimizing evaporation.)


4. If you look at the trigger you'll see that it has three delivery
settings: slow, medium and high. When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to the high setting. You should be pumping at the slow setting, thereby minimizing vapors created while you are pumping. Hoses at the pump are corrugated; the corrugations act as a return path for vapor recovery from gas that already has been metered.
If you are pumping at the high setting, the agitated gasoline contains more vapors, which is being sucked back into the underground tank, so you're getting less gas for your money.

Pencinta keadilan diminta hadiri perhimpunan 10 November

0 comments

Pelbagai lapisan masyarakat yang cintakan keadilan diminta hadir pada perhimpunan rakyat di Dataran Merdeka 10 November ini bagi menuntut pilihan raya adil dan bersih.

Perhimpunan itu dianjur Gabungan Menuntut Pilihan raya Bersih dan Adil (Bersih) yang menggalakkan orang ramai hadir dengan memakai kemeja berwarna kuning

Naib Presiden PAS, Dato’ Husam Musa berkata, golongan muda disaran tampil menyertai perhimpunan itu bagi menyatakan sokongan terhadap usaha menuntut pilihan raya adil dan bebas di negara ini.

Memandangkan Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) sudah lari dari tanggungjawab yang sebenar, maka himpunan aman untuk menyatakan rasa tidak puas tersebut perlu diadakan segera.

Diharap program itu mencapai matlamat bagi menuntut hak dan menyatakan rasa tidak puas hati terhadap badan terbabit dan kerajaan,” katanya ketika ditemui selepas majlis ramah mesra dengan masyarakat Cina di Kampung Cina, dekat sini baru-baru ini.

Beliau juga meminta orang ramai yang datang di perhimpunan tersebut memakai kemeja T berwarna kuning yang dicetak khas untuk program itu.
