Is it bad to fill up your gas tank on hot days?
You could build up enough pressure to make a pressure bomb, similar to the sublimating dry ice in a soda bottle. This could blow a hole in the gas tank and cause the release of fumes. You could heat the gasoline up to a high enough temperature that it could ignite spontaneously: without even a spark.
Can filling up your gas tank cause an explosion?
Cars are designed to cope in far higher temperatures than those we’re experiencing and fuel systems are designed to deal with vapour coming from the fuel safely, so there’s no risk that filling your tank will cause an explosion.

Why does my Car start after I fill up the gas tank?
When I fill the gas tank up, the car has trouble starting. It happened several times already. I would then try for a while until I start it up again. After that, the car would run fine until I fill the gas tank up the following time. I went to a shop for this but they couldn’t fix it. Do you have any idea why this happens? Thank you.
Where is the gas stored at a filling station?
But filling stations typically store their gasoline in underground tanks, where the temperature variation during the day is much less than in the air above. The result is that the temperature of the gasoline coming out of the fuel nozzle varies very little, if at all, during any 24-hour stretch at any particular station.
Why does my Car start right up after gas station?
Loosen the gas cap and retighten it, try starting the car again. If it has a problem then it’s most likely a bad fuel pump. If it starts right up then it was probably water in the gas, although I doubt NJ has been that cold yet to create that condition. BTW… do this test at home or better yet in your mechanic’s lot.
Why does gas sit in tank for days?
This was a result of the gas sitting in the pump dispenser, which was warmed by the sun. At our underground tank, which stores premium fuel, it’s not unusual for the gasoline to sit for hours or even days between fill-ups—unlike a typical filling station tank, which may be replenished every day or even more often.
Why does my car sputter after filling up at the gas station?
I hear that you’re not supposed to fill up if the tankards are there filling up the underground tanks because it stirs up the sand and what not, and that sediment ends up in your car. Maybe that happened? Water condensation droplets in the tank – they sink to the bottom & get picked up by the pump.
