How to Refuel a Motor Vehicle?

[LaEmilia]

1. Choose the appropriate fuel grade as required; use the recommended grade for your vehicle. Higher octane fuel is not necessarily better - what suits your car is best. 2. Try not to wait until the fuel warning light comes on before refueling, as this may damage the fuel pump which relies on fuel for cooling. 3. Don't overfill the tank - leave appropriate space, typically stopping when the fuel nozzle automatically shuts off. 4. After the nozzle automatically stops, don't continue fueling just to round up the payment - this is where gas stations often take advantage. 5. In summer, avoid refueling during the hottest afternoon hours; early morning when fuel temperatures are lowest is preferable. 6. If you see a tanker truck at the station or fuel being unloaded, don't refuel then as this stirs up sediment from the tank bottom, making the fuel dirtiest.
