Little Known Maintenance Fact

Gas Tanker
Did you know?

Filling up your vehicle while the tanker is filling up the tanks at your gas station can be potentially damaging to your engine.  The turbulence from filling up the tanks kicks up dirt and sediment that normally rests at the bottom and can decrease your engine's life.  So next time you see the tanker, head to the next station down the street instead.
