Site/Wochit What does the arrow on the fuel gauge mean?

There are many myths about refueling – but which of them are correct? Site checks ten popular wisdom. Some of them actually correct.

1. Is branded gasoline better?

no. No matter whether for brands – or cheap filling stations: Petrol generally comes from the same refineries. However, branded filling stations add additives (additives), but according to the current state of research, they do not have any influence on quality, engine power or gasoline consumption. The only important thing is the octane number, which is the same for branded and no-name fuel.

2. Can explode cars because of the tank?

no. Just as vehicles burn in Hollywood action films and then fly immediately into the air, it does not happen in reality. Because burning cars do not explode. So first aiders should not be afraid of an explosion and, if possible, get the inmates out and alert the fire brigade.

3. Is dangerous to the phone with the cell phone at the petrol station?

Yes. Similar to smoking at the petrol station, calling with the cell phone is not allowed. The danger comes from the battery. If the smartphone slides out of the hand and the battery, the impact loosens could arise, spark stroke, the spilled petrol or other flammable mixtures inflamed.

4. Wasted low tire pressure gasoline?

Yes. Because the car resistance of the car increases with a reduced tire pressure of only 0.2 bar, this causes unnecessary additional consumption of about one percent.

5. Sugar lame the car in petrol?

Yes. This does not happen very quickly – if the amount of sugar is high enough, the crystals can clog the petrol filter and in the worst case the injection glands. And then nothing works anymore. Cleaning the tank and changing the nozzles is then an expensive fun.

6. Should you bunker gasoline for bad times?

no. Even if the cheap gasoline price is currently tempted, Bunkern is not allowed. Because of the risk of fire, a maximum of 100 liters of diesel and only one liter of gasoline can be stored in the house. In garages there are 200 liters of diesel and 20 liters of petrol – of course in densely lockable and break -proof containers.

7. You can overfill a tank?

Yes. Before the tank can spill over, thanks to the modern technology, the piping gun switches off automatically. If it is then filled manually, petrol can accommodate. This not only harms the paint of the car, which can fade away from this. In summer, the petrol in the tank can expand due to high temperatures and thus overflow.

8th. The fuel price is the cheapest on Monday morning?

no. The prices can fluctuate during the day, but this does not affect the days of the week, as current studies show. If you want to save, you should refuel between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.

9. Earn a golden nose?

no. With a current average price of 1.38 euros per liter of Super E10, the tenant doesn’t have much left. Around 88 cents are levies (VAT, energy tax), another 44 cents must calculate himself as a purchase price. Remain around 6 cents per liter. With the profit, he still has to pay the costs for sales, petrol station lease transport and possibly employees. There is therefore not much left.

10. Always counts the price on the fuel table?

no. If the price on the board does not match that at the petrol pump, you should orientate yourself to the petrol pump. Because at the time of lifting the gas tap, the price has.

  1. Please
    Let me know where I am the latest research results on the subject "Additives have no … Influence on consumption" Etc., can read. Mineral oil companies have huge departments that come to the opposite statements.

  2. And branded gasoline is better…
    Namely at the latest when it flows out of the petrol pump into the tank. The operators of brand filling stations are required by their large mineral oil companies to regular tank cleansing, which is not the case with operators of free low -cost petrol stations. The likelihood of petrol contamination is higher in the latter.

  3. And a car can explode.
    And if it has a gas tank. However, these are usually built in such a way that something like that shouldn’t happen. But it happened recently and a person died of the rescue worker. However, this should be extremely rare and none from saving people from a burning car. Because of the argument with the coolant: The refrigerant R1234YF is probably meant, which can ignite and burn, with high toxic river acid being released. It is a small difference whether something is burning or exploding. And last but not least, you should always remember that you could also sit in the burning car yourself. You would certainly like to be saved by first aiders.

  4. A gas station tenant…..
    Do not deserve 6 cents per liter. Maybe 0.6 cents. And he has to lease from it, pay for personnel and water. A gas station tenant only earns reasonably appropriate if its petrol station shop runs and the car wash is well frequented. If there is 70.000 euros gross in the year, then it is not one of the bad earners in the industry. He bears a high entrepreneurial risk and there is little left.

  5. The danger is more of a burning coolant
    And therefore not run in with modern vehicles, but alert the fire brigade. That is exactly why it comes with respiratory protection!

  6. Failure to provide assistance is nonsense
    @Sven Muller The assumed assistance is total nonsense. The fire brigade was called and thus provided a minimum of help. Nobody has to put themselves in danger to help others. And when a vehicle burns and you call the fire brigade, but do not go to the burning vehicle and try to pull people out, no German court will be concerned with someone for failing to help. If the circumstances allow it (z. B. the vehicle smokes, but does not yet burn), you should of course provide more help than just to make the emergency call.
