The past few days I've been doing a test on the live stream question videos by making them longer with more questions but no funny pictures to see what you guys preferred. I've decided to keep the same format as before, shorter videos with funny pictures instead of longer ones without the pictures, since I don't have time to do both. So all videos will once again have the pictures, thanks for the input and support! ⬇️ Things used in this video: 1. Ethanol Test Kit: amzn.to/2PNXblf 2. Common Sense 3. 4k Camera: amzn.to/2HkjavH 4.

Depending on the store that can be illegal, if it’s a 24 hour site then they have to have printers in working condition (with the exception of a broken one or two every so often) because a customer had to have the ability to get a receipt. But I wouldn’t put it past some stores to do this.

Well some gas stations have better storage procedures than others. For instance, 7-Eleven is known to have air leaked into their gas cu of fault gaskets or something? Air has water, gas absorbs water from the air, degrading the quality of gas. If I’m wrong, please let me know. I only buy Exxon Mobil gas because I once heard that have the highest amount of detergents in their low octane gas.

I worked in a Shell, full service station when I was in high school, back in the 1960s. Working after school and weekends was a good source of money for a kid of a single parent. It was one of the highest volume of sales stations in the large Northeastern Florida city where I lived. At times I would be out on the island for 4 hours steady pumping gas, we could get that busy. Gas sales, no matter how little was bought included a cleaning of the windshield, check under the hood for the oil level, coolant level (when possible), and the battery's electrolyte level and lastly the tire air pressure. The full service was a requirement of the owner of the station. Some people would tell you to skip the service portion and just put in the gas and others would always want it done even if they bought a dollar's worth of gas. Gas at the time was like 30 cents a gallon for regular and 35 cents for premium. The gas wars that would happen from time to time would drop the prices down to as low as 22 cents a gallon for regular and 29 cents for premium; then that's when sales would really take off. I worked at that station until I had to go in the military which wasn't very long after graduation from high school. It was a great experience and I learned a lot about many things which included some interesting customers, if you know what I mean.

@trey8543 4 жыл бұрын

jack smith I’m a fuel hauler in Oklahoma and I can confirm what Jim Bo says is correct. Pipeline gas is raw and blended with additives at the loading rack but the blend does not change between loading different brands. I literally get to see the additives being injected. I can load over 60 different suppliers or “brands” from the same line and the terminal basically blends everything to a spec that satisfies all of them. The only difference in the fuel is the way each company tries to market it. I say buy the cheapest gas you can find as long as it’s from a well kept store. Don’t go to the run down mom and pops their tanks always have traces of water in them and algae growing on the walls of their tanks which both effectively reduce octane rating and efficiency. Most chains and well kept stores do a yearly tank cleaning to prevent it.

Years ago I worked for for a company that used a temp service for extra workers to help out .One of the workers was an American Indian who had lived on a reservation in California. At that time gas was $1.35 a gallon. While talking at lunch he asked me what do you think the price of gas is on the reservation. He told me gas there is .35 cents a gallon. I was shocked . That means we were paying $1.00 tax for .35 cent of gas at the pumps.

Naptha is about 80 percent then ethanol at about ten percent then some benzene, tolulene , xylene. Shell has promoted boron nitride in it's gasoline.

2 Things: 1. With Ethanol, if you get water in your gas, the Ethanol will mix with the water, drop out of the gas and become a Gooey white substance that will clog the fuel filter and injectors. 2. In rural areas its common for gas stations to have the exact same fuel. In an area I used to live, the fuel truck would stop at a Citgo, Mobile and Sunoco station all in the same trip. All three would get the exact same gas.

mi ke I’m aware of the chambers. I should have added that I worked for the company and knew the driver. Trust me when I tell you it was the same stuff. Edit: I want to point out that I’m not saying that each brand doesn’t have their own. What I’m saying is in small rural markets the terminals may not have each brands fuel package. In the case of the market I lived in, even though the stations said Sunoco, Citgo and Mobile it ended up being the same fuel/additive package at each. As for the separation thing, yeah fuel stabilizer helps but the issue can happen at the stations as well. One of my responsibilities was to dip the tanks with wooden sticks with special water/separated ethanol paste on them to check for water and/or separated ethanol.

One thing you did not mention is how maintained the tanks are. Different stations have different requirements (often dictated by the gas brand) of how often the water must be pumped out of the tanks etc. I hear Mobil gasoline is terrible about this and Shell excellent. If your car runs rough after putting some gas in it might have quite a bit of H2O in it.

We pick up Offen Petroleum, Sinclair, Overland, Coffeyville, P66, Musket, Newstar, Suncor, etc. there's a market and all the gas stations are just trying to pick up the cheapest thing they can. For the most part you're just getting the same random fuel anywhere you go. Because most of them run outside carriers that just pick up the cheapest stuff they can and it's not specially tailored to any specific gas stop.

Something I've noticed around in my local stomping grounds, is that the price difference between grades can vary wildly. Normally in the county where I reside the difference in price between regular and premium is $0.40 to $0.45 per gallon depending on the station. But in other counties that I regularly go to, it can vary wildly. The gas station beside the shop where I work premium is typically in excess of 60 cents more for a gallon of premium; and in a couple gas stations in another county I've seen premium in excess of $1 more per gallon. Very few gas stations advertise the price of all grades of fuel, and when out on the road somewhere unfamiliar I'll find a gas station with nice low priced regular grade fuel and then get sticker shock at the pump for premium. Over Thanksgiving I took a small trip to visit family and on the return trip I found a plaza with several gas stations where, if I recall correctly, regular gas was priced 30 cents cheaper than in my local area; but when I got to the pump the price for premium was over $1.00 more.

When I was studying for my FAA license the instructor (an old salty dog with decades of experience) told us you want to skip any station when the tanker truck is on site doing a delivery. Reason being that the unavoidable condensation in the tanks normally sits at the bottom of the ground tank (water is heavier than gas). The gas is drawn up by a floating pickup tube to take fuel from the top and avoid the water, but when the tanker floods the tank during the fill all the gas and water get mixed and take some time to settle out again, so if you pump your gas then you're likely to get water in your fuel (a bad thing, ask any mechanic). I've been following that tip ever since.

He’s had issues with shell, some will agree while others will say otherwise, it just depends on the store, all fuel comes from the same place, the biggest factor that changes is if the stores tanks are in okay condition, if the tanks have water/dirt in them, and if they are changing the filters on their dispensers regularly. If you go to a shell and have never had issues or noticed poor performance then you should be fine, As a key note I’d always recommend you use a major chain site if you are traveling tho, sites like loves truck stops, pilot, sheets, Kroger, Walmart... normally pretty safe and reliable. Just observe the fuel center, if it looks well taken care of then you should be fine. If not then I’d move on. (Also the busier the store = fresher then fuel) 10 year pump jockey

There was a guy I knew well, who sold seafood, that had to make a fixed distance trip, every few days. He noticed after making the trip for a while, that on one particular brand of gas, he could make the round trip before refueling. However, if he used any other brand of gas in town, he had to refuel before getting home, otherwise he would run out. Maybe he had to refuel at the other end, I am not sure. The trip was about 180 miles each way, but the good brand of fuel is readily available all along his route and at both ends of his route, as are the other brands. Eventually, when he began to suspect a difference, he used only the good brand for several days and sure enough, his theory proved correct. But to be sure, he went back to only the other brands one last time, just to be sure it was not him, not completely filling the truck, etc, and sure enough, he said, "I had to fill up again, on the way home or I would not have made it. After the final test, he never changed brands again because the good brand was the same price as the others, but it gave him better mileage, and it was much more convenient not to have to fuel that extra time on his trip.
