Additional Info:
This sticker is a great reminder for the full service gas attendant,
or even yourself or your spouse if you live in a state where you
have to pump your own gas.
Here are three reasons to not
top off your tank:
1. Wasting Money. Topping off the gas tank can result in your
paying for gasoline that is fed back into the station's tanks
because your gas tank is full. The gas nozzle automatically clicks
off when your gas tank is full. In areas of ozone nonattainment, gas
station pumps are equipped with vapor recovery systems that feed
back gas vapors into their tanks to prevent vapors from escaping
into the air and contributing to air pollution. Any additional gas
you try to pump into your tank may be drawn into the vapor line and
fed back into the station’s storage tanks.
2. You need extra room in your gas tank to allow the gasoline to
expand. If you top off your tank, the extra gas may evaporate
into your vehicle’s vapor collection system. That system may
become fouled and will not work properly causing your vehicle to run
poorly and have high gas emissions.
3. Gasoline vapors are harmful to breathe. Gasoline vapors
contribute to bad ozone days and are a source of toxic air
pollutants such as benzene. Evaporation from the spillage of gas
from overfilling can occur, contributing to the air pollution
problem. Remember you pay for the gas that
evaporates or is spilled on the ground.
