Gas

[kickstart]

Anyone here work on or know anyone who works on Gas pumps?

I've been wondering how much regular gas I'm putting in the dog before the high test gets to the nozzle.

Huh, good one???

[Cutter]

I believe Gas said something about 1/2 gallon... don't know if he was giving an accurate avg or just giving an approximation.

I've wondered the same thing. Citgo pumps here have only one nozzle. So as Gas is saying I believe is how much low test is in the pump and hose before you get the high test. I think you could figure out how much is in the hose and do a length times interior diameter = X. The pump part No clue

I try to avoid Citgo as much as I can as they are the only stations around here with the single nozzle but they are also only a mile from my hut.

HEY FIBER: How about a little engineering here

Oh and who ever gets what high test I have left in the nozzle you're welcome

Here's what I would say...

Not 100% since that point of sale is beyond my general scope of work. However, if you ever saw the bottom end of a gas pump, the lower part, usually a metal flat piece where they display the gas station name or logo, just above your feet and below the pump handle. There is a small piping manifold there with electric valves that control from which tank line feeds the pump meter and therefor your handle. I would say that you are getting the gas from that point at your feet, up to where the hose comes out and the length of the hose. I tend to believe its about a 1/2 gallon. But I have little if no evidence to back that. If you were to pour it into a glass jar, you MAY be able to see a color change. However, that is not full proof as most of the time its simply light green in color. There is a distinct scent to the prem due to the additives to raise the octane. Further, there are no active ways to continuesly check octane thru a type of metering unit. The only way to check octane is thru spot checks.

But again, I would say no more than a 1/2 gallon.

Might be best to wait in line and fill up after a European car.
Get behind a Benz and you're probably going to get 91-93 Octane at sea level.

All the pumps here are single nozzle and hose and now most have a sticker with 10% or less ethanol.
If a half a gallon is a good estimate and I would agree it might be thats another 20-30 cents we are getting screwed out of on our 2-4 gallon purchase.

I'm not concerned about the money as much as the product or should I say dog food.

So pour the first two bucks on the ground!!!!
Fuck that!

That sucks your not getting what you pay for!!

Math - It's the other HARD STUFF!

A cylindrical shape that has a (in this case I.D.) diameter of .75 inches and a depth of 10 feet has a volume of:

Volume
= 0.00086875 cubic meters
= 868.75 cubic centimeters
= 0.0011363 cubic yards
= 0.03068 cubic feet
= 53.014 cubic inches

= 0.2295 U.S. gallons
(Less than a 1/4 gallon)

= 0.86875 liters
* calculations accurate to 5 decimal places of precision

That's about 92 cents at $4 per US gallon.

And the 3/4" I.D. hose diameter at 10ft. is on the generous side.

Uhhhh what the fuck was that?
Gasman where are ya when I needz ya?


Try diz math on for size!!!!
MC2 (squared)=
We be fucked by the man! …….Twice!!

Just messin,

The way I see it these retards owe us a few billion bucks for freeing them and keeping them safe!!!!! They have a long way to go before they can help them selves so why don’t we help out selves to some reparations!!!!

Lets not forget the pipe/pipes to the hose.
