Topping off the gas tank can result in your paying for gasoline that is fed back into the station's tanks because your gas tank is full.
Gasoline vapors are harmful to breathe. :fuckthatshit:
You need extra room in your gas tank to allow the gasoline to expand.
Topping off your gas tank may foul the station's vapor recovery system.

Personally I'd only care about #1, but that's enough for me not to do it

[Akinari]

Thought this was old news :pokerface:

I never do it and never will. Once I saw at Bellingham a brown lady driving an ML63 fill her tank up so much it overflowed, no joke. Would've taken a picture if I wasn't already driving away.

I used to do it to some extent, and I know some people who do it all the time, to the point where you can actually see the fuel.

Just thought I'd put it out there. If you already knew this, good for you. If not, you're welcome :thumbs:

By topping off your gas tank, do you mean until you see the gas pretty much coming out?

Cause I usually fill up until the thing automatically stop for me.

[TypeRNammer]

Oh man all those gas hoarders at Blaine :pokerface:

I see it all the time :heckno:

[satek]

Too poor to fill up usually get $20-$30s worth and $40 in pt robs

[LP700-4]

By topping up you mean keep pumping after the first click of the nozzle?

Hmmm, i always do 1 more click after the initial one just to be sure its full.

Yup that's what it means

I think one more click is OK. When you keep pressing it past that click, because the gas is cheap or to hit an even price, that's when you run into the problems mentioned

I always go until first shutoff, I mean what does going more get you...? Extra half a liter?

[hirevtuner]

i always gas up until the click then to the nearest 50 cent or dollar

Just want to do the perfect pump man.

[i-vtecyo]

[PJ]

Never done it.. but some of my friends do it all the time

[vafanculo]

I never even thought there was life after the first click lol

So we should top up garbage bags to avoid these problems :ilied:

[mr_chin]

A trick that I found is if you have a 65 litre tank, fill 60 litre and stop. Turn the nozzle upside down, you'll be surprised at how much gasoline is left in the hose and nozzle. Probably another cup or so.

i shake the shit out of the nozzle even before i pull it out..lol

[Matsuda]

like you're peeing? =D

There's a sex joke in there somewhere :badpokerface:

[Peturbo]

There's also a chance of damaging vapor recovery system on your own car by overfilling.
Once liquid fuel touches it from you overfilling, it's done.

[optiblue]

#1 is not possible unless you keep filling past several shutoff clicks on the pump to the point where fuel overfills out the neck. If you're doing this, then well, you have other issues besides wasting money.

[SumAznGuy]

#2 isn't really that big of an issue.
The minute you open your gas cap, there is a chance gas vapors can escape. I know for sure when you open the gas cap to the tank on a motorbike.

[jlenko]

I always go until first shutoff, I mean what does going more get you...? Extra half a liter?

If that. And what's that save you, in terms of filling up... a few miles before you have to fill up again anyway?

Waste of fucking time.

Gas stops, hang up the nozzle and get going. You're probably holding up the next guy in line.

[knight604]

No when he climaxes.

Car gas tanks have a flap so vapors don't escape. When you insert the nozzle it opens it up.

[RRxtar]

always fill to $100 for easier business accounting lol

[Speed2K]

Lol, sometime it's like when people go to a restaurant and tip enough to make the total an even number; at the end of the day it doesn't make a difference, if you're paying by Visa you're probably still going to end up with an un-even total on your statement. :lawl:

[bloodmack]

I usually fill up when im dead empty and when the pump stops there's usually a couple liters extra for me that I could put in after it clicks.

I admit I top up when I get gas in the States. I think I usually put in at least another 5L after the first click, which is like saving another buck.

#1 and #4 is not applicable for me though, because it's not like I keep pumping it with the nozzle inserted. I pull it out and slowly top it up.

I've probably done this a hundred times in my Yaris. Haven't had any problems yet. :badpokerface:
