Gently Or Full-On Triggering, The Proper Way To Fuel Up

Afiq Saha

Due to it being a daily routine thing, fuelling up a car is somewhat done subconsciously. So, ever wondered what is exactly the proper way to fuel up a car?

Some say that a fast fill rate can cause less fuel to go into the tank than it should, but there are also some who think that, in order to get more fuel, squeeze the pump steadily.

Well, Shell Malaysia's Managing Director, Shairan Huzani Hussain, or better known as 'Pak Cik Shell' has just the right answer. 

Via a video uploaded to his personal Instagram account, showing an experiment he made himself, Shairan used a real device to measure the volume of the fuel.

He filled 10 litres of RON95 by full-on triggering the pump nozzle into a jar, while one of his workers filled another jar by gently pressing the nozzle.

Ironically, the results after a few minutes it took to fill up, showed that both the jars contained 10 litres of RON95 petrol.

In conclusion, it doesn't matter whether the slow or fast method is applied, as the amount of fuel that comes out remains the same.

That said, this is not the first time Shairan has done this experiment. He has proven this many times over, as a matter of fact, every time this issue goes viral on social media.
