This shows you how to get more use out of gas by just pumping differently

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • gas pump
  • vehicle
  1. Step 1

    When you pump gas fast, the needle is only reading the gas pressure and not necessarily the liquid gas itself. pulling the gas trigger all the way definitely ensures air will be in your tank.

  2. Step 2

    Pull the trigger slightly, and let the liquid gas fill in your tank. It may take a little longer, but it's worth it.

  3. Step 3

    When finished, leave nozzle in car for about 5 seconds so that no liquid will spill out.

Tips & Warnings
  • Don't release the nozzle to the point that it's going to shake, but a little pass that.
  • This may be a burden when it's really cold outside.
