"Load it up.. UNO lang!"

[S!mpLy~2CooL4U]

Guys,

May tanong lang po ako..
Last weekend may nakakwentuhan ako tungkol sa mga sasakyan pati kung pano mo mama-maximize ang fuel consumption mo..

Nakwento nya sa kin na para daw maka sulit ka sa gas na ikinakarga mo, always tell the gas attendant na sa no. 1 setting lang lagi ang fuel pump.
Ito daw ang madalas nya ginagawa at totoo naman daw..

Any comments po sa mga gurus or anyone na magpapatunay dito?

thanks!

Forgive my ignorance but I didn't even know that the gas pumps had settings, aside from punching in the amount to be loaded into your car? What exactly is "no.1 setting"? Peace.

up tama yun Pressure one lang dun sa may nozzle na pinipindot tatlong pindot kasi yun .. kapag 3 pressure lugi ka umiikot na yung presyo kashi hangin pa lang lumalabas kaya uno lang para mabagal lang

up tama yun Pressure one lang dun sa may nozzle na pinipindot tatlong pindot kasi yun .. kapag 3 pressure lugi ka umiikot na yung presyo kashi hangin pa lang lumalabas kaya uno lang para mabagal lang

wow!!! really?!

we learn new things everyday (it this is true)

Yup! Ganito din explanation nya sa kin..
At setting no. 3 malakas daw ang labas ng gas, tendency is maraming hangin na kasama.. Unlike pag pressure 1 lang, purong gas lang or minimal ang hangin na kasama..

Ganito na ginagawa ko pero prang wala or very minimal ang change..

makes sense. iba-iba ang duration/speed ng iba-ibang machine. i always fill up worth P500. sa iba parang ang bilis sobra, sa iba naman mas matagal. sa mabilis tingin ko may kasamang hangin.

[raine]

i think wala namang hangin kahit anong setting kasi yung speed ng pump na ginagamit ang kinocontrol dito, at yun nag papass na gasoline sa pump naman ang measure kung magkano ang bibilhin mo, parang gripo lang yan pag binuksa mo ng mahina solid na tubig ang lumalabas na makikita mo sa balde at pag nilakasan mo dahil sa bilis ng flow parang merong lumalabas na kasamang hangin and it doesnt mean na yung hangin na kasama na nakikita mo sa balde ay kasamang lumabas ito sa water meter mo at lumabas sa gripo, subukan mong pumunta ka sa NAWASA makikita mo roon merong under water pump na malakas ang flow na binubuga nito ang tubig sa itaas makikita mo sa nozzle nito na sa sobrang lakas ng tubig hindi solid ang labas merong nang kasamang hangin dahil sa bilis ng flow

hmm... parang maganda ito suggest sa mythbusters ha? hehehe :freddy:

Subukan ko to mamaya

Not convinced at face value. I don't notice any speed differences in terms of filling up my entire tank.

Worth trying just for the Mythbusters aspect though

There must be some difference. Hindi naman siguro nila lalagyan ng different pressure settings yun kung walang purpose yun..

Hindi ko din po alam kung totoo to.. I second your motion to try it for mythbusters aspect..

my two cents..

This is just a setting for the flow control, if you have a big tank like for trucks or buses that may take awhile to fill up then they would set it up for faster pump setting but there's a danger here just like what happened to me where i set it to full blast to fill my tank full then the pump wasn't able to sense that the tank was already up to its brim it overflowed because of the petrol was flowing fast that the sensor wasn't able to react fast enough to cut it off. There's too minimal of a difference since the flowmeter is the actual instrument that measures the volume of transfer, but since you are filling it up on a low setting, you can prevent any bubbles flowing through the hand pump.

hinde totoo yan, if the pump is properly calibrated kahit anong settings pa yan parehong amount ilalabas nyan.....

the problem lang sa 3rd settings is mabula so mas maaga mag automatic dahil ma tritrigger na kaagad yun auto shut off, just like pag nagsasaling ka ng softdrinks or beer sa baso aapaw yun sa baso yun drinks dahil doon sa bula, pero hinde pa puno diba?

Boss, sayang din, sana nai-post mo ito kahapon. Kagabi lang kasi ako nagpa-fillup eh. Sana nabasa ko ito bago ako nakapagpakarga.

flow switch nga lang yon.no difference or what so ever except for the bubbles due to pressure.

[pup2]

While it's true that the amount of fuel that passes the meter is the same, isn't it also true that the vapors formed by the high pressure may evaporate faster, thus releasing more gasoline vapor into the atmosphere?

This might be small pero di ba madali mag evaporate (at expand / contract) ang gas? Kaya nga may diperensya ang pagpapa gas sa umaga at sa hapon?

[wildthing]

kalokohan po yun... another one nga for myth busters.

pumps are calibrated daily (usually sa umaga)... have it filled up pagbagong calibration lang ang option dun... pero since the question is "how to maximize fuel consumption"... my suggestion is to improve ones driving habit lang ang easiest way.
