Jom kuar makan...

Huhu..Minah ni nak melantak je keje. Mula-mula nak pegi makan kat Farisa tapi cam tak best plak la kat Farisa aku ajak la minah2 ni makan kat Naiman dekat Bukit Katil. Naiman ni cawangan baru..tak ramai orang lagi. Tapi kedai makan ni berdepan dengan kedai D'Nangka. So, choice rmai orang tentula kat D'Nangka kan..tempat versatile..huhu aku try makan nasi goreng pataya dia.. *uhu sory b ya makan nasi malam ni..lapo~* huhu..sebab aku rasa makanan yang berasaskan sop macam tak chor je. Nasi aku makan ni pon biase je..takdop la spesel sangat.. aha ;p

hurm..selalu kita bergerak menggunakan petrol atau diesel kan? aku ade tips dari orang mana tah..member aku forward mende ni kat aku..so korang practise ar hee;p ade betul ke tak tips ni:

*GUYS, hope this info helps in saving some dollars. **

I don't know what you guys are paying for petrol.... but here in Durban

we are also paying higher, up to R7.35 per litre. But my line of work is

in petroleum for about 31 years now, so here are some tricks to get more

of your money's worth for every litre.

Here at the Marian Hill Pipeline where I work in Durban, we deliver

about 4 million litres in a 24-hour period thru the pipeline.

One day is diesel the next day is jet fuel, and petrol, LRP and

Unleaded. We have 34-storage tanks here with a total capacity of

16,800,000 litres.

Only buy or fill up your car or bakkie in the early morning when the

ground temperature is still cold. Remember that all service stations

have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground the

more dense the fuel, when it gets warmer petrol expands, so buying in

the afternoon or in the evening....your litre is not exactly a litre. In

the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the

petrol, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products plays

an important role. A 1-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for

this business. But the service stations do not have temperature

compensation at the pumps.

When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to a

fast mode. If you look you will see that the trigger has three (3)

stages: low, middle, and high. In slow mode you should be pumping on low

speed, thereby minimizing the vapours that are created while you are

pumping. All hoses at the pump have a vapour return. If you are pumping

on the fast rate, some of the liquid that goes to your tank becomes

vapour. Those vapours are being sucked up and back into the underground

storage tank so you're getting less worth for your money.

One of the most important tips is to fill up when your tank is HALF

FULL. The reason for this is, the more fuel you have in your tank the

less air occupying its empty space. petrol evaporates faster than you

can imagine. Petroleum storage tanks have an internal floating roof.

This roof serves as zero clearance between the petrol and the

atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation.

Unlike service stations, here where I work, every truck that we load is

temperature compensated so that every litre is actually the exact

amount.

Another reminder, if there is a fuel truck pumping into the storage

tanks when you stop to buy, DO NOT fill up--most likely the

petrol/diesel is being stirred up as the fuel is being delivered, and

you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom.

Hope this will help you get the most value for your money.
