    i fuel at my companys terminal, they have their own fuel station. i try to stop at even numbers but that ###### is so fast. and when i wanna top it off, it just clicks by itself.

    In the summer I stop when it clicks, especially if I'm fueling at the end of the day. In the winter, I'll try to get it as close to absolute full as possible.

    One time, I decided to to off the tri-axle I was driving since it only had one tank, and I had to stop at our fueling location to meet the boss to get some paperwork. I filled it till it shut off, and hung up the nozzle. Only after I did this did I realize the gallon total.

    It was 13.666 gallons. :biggrin_2554:

    it depends, if I know I need the weight variance (every ounce counts some days), then I stop where I need to, if it doesn't matter, when the handle goes click, it's full
