    Then can you explain how the fuel is hotter when it's pumped into the truck at the fuel pump that it is when the tanker loaded it up?... I know for fact that it's hotter when customers purchase the fuel versus when the tanker driver loaded it from the rack done.. Because I used to help you and I know the temperature that was printed on the Bol and I have actually taking the temperature of fuels when I fuel before

    Didn't you also say it was adjusted for temperature? Isn't that the reason you took the temperature?? No time to look back at the posts but that's my recollection. walkin' out the door to make some $$

    I'm sure there are many variables and unless you do a careful experiment you can't make those claims. Maybe the fuel heated up en-route. Was the temp taken as it's pumped from the tanker into the ground? What is the temp underground? Also, keep in mind that pumps are temperature corrected. Been that way for years.

    The fuel could be heated slightly by the fuel metering device inside. It's like a 4 piston engine that measures fuel flow. These are all monitored by a computer inside the pump and temperature compensated.

    Everyone can be a scientist.

    1. You have a theory
    2. You conduct experiments to prove your theory
    3. You look at the results.
    4. You come to a conclusion

    You can do your own experiment using a postal scale. Measure out exactly 1 gallon of diesel and weigh it? Of course you will have to take into account the percentage of bio and it's properties.

    I think we need federally mandated seperate bathrooms for conspiracy theorists dependent upon their level of paranoia on any given day.

    Think about winter time - should the truck stop "give away" fuel because it's "holy craps cold" and the fuel has dropped a couple of degrees?

    A few years ago when I read about the temperature lawsuits in Alabama or Arkansas the article mentioned that almost every Canadian fuel stop had temperature control devices installed to make sure they didn't lose their shirt during the winter.

    Interesting. So if it is possible then there is definitely room for abuse. Who ever would have thought that Volkswagen would go to such elaborate extremes to beat an emissions test?

    On the other hand, I have to trust the measurements authorities on this because I'm too busy driving to worry about it. I don't even look at fuel prices these days. I get it when I need it and makes most sense in my schedule.
