I had never thought about that. I bet it’s a significant amount and what you’re doing is about the only way you’d be sure to get a gallon of premium.<br><br><br><a href="https://overview.mail.yahoo.com/?.src=iOS">Sent from Frontier Yahoo Mail for iPhone</a><br><br><p class="yahoo-quoted-begin" style="font-size: 15px; color: #715FFA; padding-top: 15px; margin-top: 0">On Tuesday, February 14, 2023, 9:10 PM, Dean Vinson <dean@vinsonfarm.net> wrote:</p><blockquote class="iosymail"><div id="yiv3419709205"><style><!--

Compared to the very small desired quantity of 1 gallon, seems like residual gas left in the hose from the previous use could be a significant proportion or maybe even greater than the amount I’m going to pump… so the net effect would be that I’d pay for the gallon of premium gas that’ll be left in the hose when I’m done, while I actually put a gallon of (presumably) regular in my chainsaw gas can.</p><p class="yiv3419709205MsoNormal"> </p><p class="yiv3419709205MsoNormal">So in an abundance of better-safe-than-sorry geekiness, I pump a gallon or two of premium into my regular can for the gas tractors, or into my car’s tank, and then finish up with another gallon of premium into the chainsaw gas can. That’s usually accompanied by a vague sense I’m being ridiculous and would most likely never notice a difference if I just started pumping straight into the chainsaw can.</p><p class="yiv3419709205MsoNormal"> </p><p class="yiv3419709205MsoNormal">Anyone have actual knowledge of how the plumbing works and how big of an issue that could really be?</p><p class="yiv3419709205MsoNormal"> </p><p class="yiv3419709205MsoNormal">Thanks very much,</p><p class="yiv3419709205MsoNormal"> </p><p class="yiv3419709205MsoNormal">Dean Vinson</p><p class="yiv3419709205MsoNormal">Saint Paris, Ohio</p><p class="yiv3419709205MsoNormal"> </p></div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>AT mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:AT@lists.antique-tractor.com" href="mailto:AT@lists.antique-tractor.com">AT@lists.antique-tractor.com</a><br><a href="http://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com" target="_blank">http://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com</a><br><blockquote></blockquote></blockquote>
