    Knowing you, it was light beer, which we all know is not the same thing at all. No wonder you failed!!

    Beer has a lot of gas in it. The gas is released slowly until it eventually goes flat. When you consume beer, the gas collects in your stomach and intestines. This gradually puts pressure on your bladder, thereby reducing the capacity somewhat. This means that over time, your ability to withstand the call of nature reduces.

    Added to this, the affect of beer is to make parts of your body more or less important in the the scheme of things than they would normally be. Thus an inebriated brain pays more attention to your, erm, privates than it does to your skin, which is why you can go outside and pee in the bushes in the middle of winter wearing only a pair of shorts and a T shirt. See?

    I don't know how this fits in with brewer's droop though :confused:

    Fuel from the refinery goes into the tankers at around 38C and shrinkage is allowed for. The average servo loses about 300-500 litres when the underground tanks are topped up and the fuel cools to ground temp, and no allowance is made, the servo wears it. Info from my mate who is a tanker driver for the local distributor.

    I suspect you answered your own question in the original post silent, perhaps the Friday beers are getting to you already?

    Drink 1P2 is the formula for expansion, amber fluid of course.
    If you can do it - Do it! If you can't do it - Try it!
    Do both well!

    they are not all the same. Some parts boil off as low as 27°C & other parts as high as 225°C.

    The vapour parts of petrol leave the liquid faster than other parts, that is what the petrol sniffers are sucking into their brain to expand it (brain, not fuel tank).

    That is fuzzy logic & you know it. The air/fuel mix burns & expands explosivly.
    If you could get the tank hot enough to burn, it might also expand explosivly.

    So the moral to the story is that if you fill up on a cold day, you get more for the same price, because the mass to volume ratio goes up the colder it is. But make sure you don't overfill, or some of the profit runs down the drain.
    The same for LPG, That's why LPG filling system of tanks is designed to stop when the tank is 85 % full else when the gas heats up the tank would explode.

    Is that what the silent C stands for
    No, it stands for "Correct", which is what I am and you are not!

    G'day,

    Fuzy logic, I get that too and its affects are the same on a cold day to a hot day and the results are the same if I've consumed 4 x 375mm cans of ale or 4 x 375mm bottles of ale.
    I make things, I just take a long time.

    I used to have a pair welding goggles like that

    Well, that's my contribution to science for the day. Oh look, it's nearly beer o'clock. Wish I had a beer fridge.
