Have these findings been published in a peer reviewed journal?

Good Work Captain Asswhipe! maybe new pumps have fixed that issue. it was about 2 years ago wen i was fucking with the bikes so. shit has changed i guess! or im just a lame ass and "figured" it was different cuz some "old timer" told me it was!!!! then i saw the email and i was like CONFIRMED!!!!(mythbusters reference)

Hey I was pulling for you to be right lol.
But scientific testing doesn't lie. MYTH BUSTED!!!!

hahahah dude u make me laugh sooo hard lol

hmmmmm maybe it works with like larger quantitied like 20-30gal worth? cuz it is fumes etc. and maybe the different input design of the gas can and a gas tank fille rneck has something to do with it?

Have you guys ever actually tried to pump on slow? I mean holy shit! I used to need to do it with my ford ranger because the filler neck was rusted out. I needed to leave a good 15 minutes earlier for work to get half a tank when it would normally take maybe 2 or 3 minutes. You will fall asleep at the pump with it on slow. And also don't a lot of pumps work on slightly different systems? I mean you can feel the difference from station to station, wouldn't some be more or less efficient then others? Although they are all working on the same principles and I'm sure all need to abide by the same standards, wouldn't they still vary some and affect how much these little ways to "get more in your tank" actually work? Btw one real way to "save" or more of less cheat on gas that I found out by myself. If you look around and try all the different pumps, when the pump stops and you can still feel pressure in the trigger, partially depress it, sometimes the vacuum stop feature on the pump is broken and it will keep dripping into your tank until you release the trigger. I have one pump by my house I do this with, it takes you forever to get more gas but I put on 5 bucks and filled up almost half a tank. It took about 25 minutes but i needed gas and that was all the money I had. Just as an fyi

lmao^ desperate times call for desperate measures eh lol

hey I still do it the guys that work the gas stations are usually high and don't notice that I still have my hand on the pump when it "stopped" a good ten minutes ago lol

Hey, just cause someone is high doesn't mean thay can't be paying attention. Most don't but some do.

As far as this goes I'm more interested in the temperature of pumping the gas having an effect. This can be proven experimentally at the pump and scientifically by observing the thermal expansion of gasoline. I'm sure the change in volume would be pretty small being that the temperature change between day and night would be small and the coefficient of thermal expansion of gasoline is pretty low. So in a gas tank I don't think there would be that big of a change, but you would def save money if you did this year round if you wanted to wake up early every day you pump gas. I'll check it out sometime when I finish my chemistry homework early.
