False information, which is even considered misleading, often rampant among automotive enthusiasts. One of the questions that bikers are always looking for is refueling at gas stations at night. Many people think that they fill up petrol at night, the dose will be more than filling in the morning or afternoon. Is this the reason gas stations are always busy with queues at night?? Otodiva.com has summarized several existing facts, let's see!
It turns out, This assumption is indeed confirmed by energy conversion experts from ITB. Why could something like that happen?? Because gasoline itself evaporates easily during the day. Moreover, if the fuel is placed in a metal tank, the expansion effect will also be faster. A simple example is water, If this liquid is placed in the refrigerator it will become cold and can freeze. If it is dried in the sun it will become warm and if it is hot it can also expand. There will be a difference, if the weight is weighed, it can differ by at least one liter of gasoline. However, the difference does not really affect the change in fuel volume.
The weather temperature during the day in Jakarta can reach 32 degrees Celsius. At night, can come down to 29 until 30 degrees Celsius. A difference of two degrees Celsius will not have much effect on fuel volume. As for the amount, it's not too significant, especially if it is filled into a car or motorbike tank. Except for trucks that have oil fuel tank capacity (BBM) reach 8000 liter.
So we can conclude, that the difference in weight in units of measurement of liters of gasoline during the day and at night, It doesn't really matter if the vehicle owner only fills a few liters. The difference will be visible if the vehicle owner buys fuel in very large quantities. Maybe, Many people queue to fill up with petrol at night because they don't want to get hot during the day. Here are the facts about filling gas at night, Hope it is useful!
