sobrang lakas talaga ng pump pressure ng total alabang. last monday nagpa refill ako ng donut tank ko 40li ang capacity, inabot ng 39.77li bago nag cut off. after nga nun naamoy ko ulit yung lpg sa trunk ko sabi ko malamang nag leak na naman.

.. buti na lang after naka 30km ako sa highway nawala. next time hinde na ako magpapa full tank sa total, katakot at baka ma aberya na naman.

hmm ako sir diyan lang nagpapa karga.... i have a 60L cylindrical tank.
Max na ang 52L. (1 time lang nangyari)

Ang napansin ko sa pump nila parang di consistent. Sometimes mafifill mga 44+ minsan 32+ lang for the same amount of km since I always fill up every thursday (either 9am or 9pm). Di tuloy consistent FC computation ko... inaverage ko nalang yung 2 weeks.
1st week FC ko daw 10km/L (kasi kulang yung nakarga nag cutoff kaagad)
2nd week FC ko daw 6.6km/L (kasi ngayon naman napuno niya ng tama)
Average 8.3km/L... ayun tama FC ko=)

pero last time... ok din i got 8.7km/L mukhang tama ulit yung pagpump.

And regarding using LPG na mahina hatak...
hmmm dati pa naman PAGONG mag accelerate Mazda 3 ko... PAGONG pa rin ngayon mag accelerate sa LPG... no difference... hahaha... ayos lang sa kin.

ito din ang napansin ko, paiba iba ng cut off pressure which bring us to wrong FC computation. normally kasi i fill up pag na fefeel kong mahina na ang hatak at laging full tank ako regardless of pump cut off pressure kaya delikado kung yung pump paiba iba ng pressure.

siguro ngayon to be on the safe side, i will only fill in 32li max para maiwasan na rin ang possible line leaks. mahirap kasi pag naamoy mo yung lpg sa loob.

Just a reminder: Please be vigilant with "high pressure" filling stations. It is not only the tank that is at risk; it may also damage the multivalve gaskets and solenoid rings that eventually lead to leaks.

Since all of us are aware of our tank capacity. Just fill up to capacity. Also tell the pump attendant to stop filling when you reach your tank capacity.

Happy Motoring this Holiday Season with another series of auto-lpg rollback.

Hey Mike, you back in Manila?

Still have to pass by the shop.

Magandang mag-fill ang mga attendant sa Xoom Autogas sa Timog, pag bumagal na sa centavos ang filling tinitigil na ng attendant at di hinihintay ang no-flow para no over fills.
