What is the perfect time to put petrol-diesel in the car? Know the truth behind this viral story

Even after the war between the Gulf countries, the price of petrol and diesel continues to increase. In this too some alternatives are being sought by people. One such old recipe is going viral on social media, that if you want to save money, you should always fill petrol or diesel early in the morning or late at night. On this point, it is said that the fuel density is higher in the morning due to the cold weather, which gives us slightly more petrol-diesel for the same amount of money. But what really happened? Let’s know the truth behind this..

When will it stop? Petrol and diesel prices soared again, rising by more than Rs 7 in 10 days

Why morning-evening oil filling theory is wrong

According to this claim, which is going viral on social media, the density of fuel decreases due to afternoon sun and increases in the lower temperature environment of morning. In theory this sounds right; If you look at the truth, it does not happen. At all petrol pumps the fuel is stored in a large underground tank. According to Consumer Reports, no matter how much the outside temperature changes, the temperature of gasoline under the ground remains at 62 F, which is about 16.6 degrees Celsius. This means that even if we fill the petrol at eight in the morning and ten at night, there is no difference in the density of the petrol. You will get the same amount of petrol-diesel as you used to get in the morning-evening-afternoon.

So how to save money?

If going out for the weekend, fill up the tank now in the city. Because oil is usually expensive at petrol pumps on highways. These days there are many apps which provide information about cheap petrol pumps.

Whenever the fuel fork reaches 1/4, fill up with petrol quickly. A completely dry tank can pressurize the fuel system, use more oil, and damage the fuel filter.

Sudden braking and driving at high speed also consumes more fuel. Along with this, servicing the car from time to time also saves money by keeping the mileage of the car good.
