Interestingly, the oil companies are fighting having to put on fuel temperature compensating metering devices in the USA, because the average expansion of fuel works in their favor. In Canada, the oil companies want such equipment, because the average contraction of fuel there costs them money.

Do you ventilate your tank with a hole in the gas cap or are your evaporative emissions still hooked up?
