One thing to remember about pumping fuel.
If the pump says 5 gallons, you don't have 5 gallons by volume due to pump correction for temperature.
Take your 5 gallon gas tank and put 5 gallons in it by reading the pump.
Now look at the gas can.
You will be missing at least a quart (or litre for us Canadians) or two!
I was told that the volume in the gas can will expand to give me the correct amount but my primitive tesing shows otherwise.
