Watch Out For Fuel Evaporation
Fuel evaporation is not such a huge problem on newer cars, but if you’re driving a pre-1998 or so you may want to take some relatively simple steps to help curb this possible waste of your car’s precious life blood (also known as gasoline). The two biggest steps you can take are incredibly easy and straight forward. First, when finished pumping gas, make certain that your gas cap is on properly and securely. If it is cross threaded or not on tight those fumes will seep out and as the air heats up in the day your liquid gasoline will actually evaporate. The second thing you can do is park in the shade or your garage whenever possible on hot summer days (or sunny days). Staying out of the heat means less evaporation as I’m sure we all know. Put these tips to use and save a few bucks this summer!
