Going to be real busy these two weeks. We’re on a major exercise and I’m dead beat working 12hour shifts. Take away the time to commute to and from work, as well as time for personal hygene and food, I’m looking at about just 6 hours of sleep a day. So, sorry if the posts here are a little erratic and infrequent.
I’m getting too old for this crap….
Got this in an e-mail today:
Many of us are not aware that the petrol kiosk pump has a return pipe-line (in black). When the petrol tank (in the car) reaches full level, there is a mechanism to trigger off the pump latch and at the same time a return-valve is opened (at the top of the station) to allow excess petrol to flow back into the sump. But the return petrol has already passed through the meter, meaning you are donating the petrol back to SHELL/ PETRONAS/ CALTEX……….
So, once the pump latch is triggered, you may want to stop it right there rather then trying to make it look nice in the meter by rounding up the figure. (I notice a lot of people have this habit… right?)
Not too sure what to make of it, but I think it’s better to be safe than sorry. Afterall, fuel prices is only set to rise higher and higher as the years go by and shortages set in
