Do you "shake" your car when you get a full tank?

**the_wildthing** · January 3rd, 2005 01:26 PM

Bata pa ako may ganon na... cars, jeeps, PUs, cabs, etc. It's like revving your car just before you shut off the engine. (Sadly my dad does this last one, force of habit daw, kahit ilang beses ko nang napag-sabihan.)

Nope, 'di ako nag-aalog ng sasakyan pag nagpapa-full tank. Tsaka 'di ko na rin pinapasagad yung tangke. Naranasan ko na kasing umapaw yung fuel palabas. Buti na lang hindi nag-blister yung pintura, at walang nag-yosi sa tabi ko.

uy, nasa top 5 list ko yan ng "stupid pinoy driving pamahiins"

eto pa:
painitin muna makina bago drive off (on modern cars this actually increases engine wear, sayang pa gas)
rev muna makina bago shut-off (see above)

and my all-time favorite....

wag gamitin ng husto ang turn blinkers, kasi baka "maubos" :bwahaha:

hmm im guilty of this one.

but not in the sense of adding more km to my mileage..but to mix the fuel that is remaining in the tank with the new one..i dont do it often, just at the start of the flow of the gas to the tank. i get a full tank kasi pag kalahati na yung gauge indicator eh..i dont use up all the fuel..ayaw ng dad ko kasi baka daw mmya may emergency then paano na daw kung ubos na yung gas..and what if kung may pupuntahan pang unexpected places...hassle. so we get a full tank pag half na.

nope.. never crossed my mind. di ko pa din na-experience.

pag nagpapahangin inaalog ung sasakyan nung mga jeepneys dyan.

"painitin muna makina bago drive off (on modern cars this actually increases engine wear, sayang pa gas)"

efi equipped cars only need around between 10-45 seconds to "warm-up". then you have to drive the car slowly (low revs only) to properly warm it up. check your car's manual for the recommended "idle time".

Ngayon ko lang narinig 'to.

Maybe that explains why many people don't use turn signals around here.

Madalas ko ginagawa itong paguga ng sasakyan para labas ang sobrang hangin sa loob ng tangke. Dagdag din na 2 liters of fuel para umabot hanggang next week.
