The hose/nozzle is a vacuum operated shutoff inside the handle and will
not allow "milking the hose". What's in the nozzle will drain, but the
hose will remain full at all times.

With tanks that are in the ground, I don't think this makes enough
difference to bother about. And even with those above ground, it's
rare that you will encounter temperature swings broad enough to
matter.

Unless the guy before you milked the hose after shutting off the
pump, the hose was f

Great. Let's stay with volume - so the cuical expansion rate, and
lets' round it up to 0.1% per degree C. If you have a 50 degree C
swing in temp., that would result in a change in volume of 5%. So if
you buy it at a temp of 40C (104F), and then it drops to -10C (14F)
that night, the volume of fuel

Don't forget to factor in that diesel at the pump contains more
kerosene in cold climates and during the winter - so you will get less
mileage.

Interesting reading.

OK - someone needs to look up the coifficient of expansion for Diesel
and gasoline - how much does the volume change per degree? My CRC is
at home (I'm in Houston), and I'm too tired to search the web for it.

Water expands when it FREEZES, not when it's just cold -- it contracts
just like everything else up to the freezing point, whereupon it
becomes much more ordered, and the crystalline lattice takes up more
space than uncrystallized water.
Diesel fuel and gasoline shrink when cold, and the pumps

Now, I don't want to be one of those folks who perpetuate forwarded emails,
but I just read this one and I bet y'all could provide great feedback.
I heard a long time ago the one about not filling up when the gas delivery
