There are some photos circulating of cars at petrol stations in Johor Baru being jacked up at the rear end. Apparently, this helps fill up the fuel tank to its maximum. Does this really work and are there problems if this is done?
The nozzles at petrol stations have an in-built mechanism that forces a trigger release when the tank is almost full. The fast-acting pneumatic release is activated the instant there is any splash of fuel at the mouth of the nozzle. The space in the tank will not increase, nor will a pocket of air be magically exposed by raising the corner where the fuel-filler is located.As a simple analogy, if you take a jerry can and tilt it any which way you can, there will be no means to boost its capacity.
