I've been reading about this temperature compensated fuel. The fuel stops buy their fuel compensated for temperature but not when they sell it. Well, now I am finding some are actually heating the fuel before it reaches your tank. Most all the fuel stations utilize underground storage tanks which the fuel is around 72 degrees in warm weather. But the ones that are heating up the fuel, the fuel is 85 degrees at the nozzle. In doing this, you the consumer, are being ripped off. The heated fuel means you don't get the full gallon that you are paying for. Well, truck stops wouldn't do anything like that, you say. Well, I started testing this accusation. And anyone can test it for themselves. All you have to do is after about 30-60 seconds of fueling, touch the nozzle. If it is warm to the touch, the fuel is being heated.
Now, not being surprised, the very first time I put this to the test was at a Flying J in MS. And yes , fuel was 85 degrees, using an infrared temperature device. And you could feel the heat in the nozzle. Now, not all are doing this as the next few fuel stops were all normal. Just be aware that some are so desperate, to make a profit, that they will stoop this low to rip off the public, thinking no one will know the difference.
Another scam???
