The issue is not clear-cut as older diesels using completely mechanical injection can tolerate some gasoline—which has historically been used to "thin" diesel fuel in winter. Before 1998, filling stations in Japan were entirely full-service stations. Self-service stations were legalized in Japan in 1998 following the abolition of the Special Petroleum Law, which led to the deregulation of the petroleum industry in Japan. Gas stations refill their fuel through tanker truck delivery, the U.S. The trucks pump gas directly into underground tanks, which supplies the gas pumps that you use to fill your car, AAA says.

If enough sediment makes it into your car, it can clog your car’s mobile fuel dispenser truck filters or even damage its fuel system, AAAA Auto and Storage Park says. When enough water gets into the fuel supply tank, "phase separation" occurs, which is when the water mixes with the ethanol in the gas, Veeder-Root, a dongfeng mobile fuel dispenser truck management technology company, says. Phase separation is corrosive, and can therefore cause damage to a gas station’s equipment, damage vehicle engines and potentially cause vehicles to stall.

The board has proposed limits on diesel produced from soybean oil, canola oil and sunflower oil, but some groups say that the changes don’t go far enough. The air board said earlier this month that fuel producers typically pass on 8 to 10 cents per gallon of costs to consumers because of the program. Estimates for how the air board’s proposed changes in the program would affect gasoline prices vary. But as the election has approached — with costs and affordability of top concern for voters — Republicans in California’s state Legislature have urged a delay in the fuel standard changes, saying they could further drive up gasoline prices.

Mr Polson told EVcentral an H2CORE could refuel a Hyundai Nexo to full capacity (adding 666km range) in three to five minutes, if specifically set up for that intended use. It’s timely for the Korean brand, as Hyundai’s compelling new Initium fuel cell medium SUV looks likely to replace the Nexo in Australia next year. This H2CORE’s point of difference is offering rapid refuelling speeds in a unit able to be easily moved around. EVcentral attended the H2CORE’s reveal at H2H Energy’s Sunshine Coast manufacturing facility, witnessing how the shipping container could be lifted by a trailer side loader or crane onto a truck for easy transportation. Housed within this portable 40ft-high cube shipping container is an answer to Australia’s lack of hydrogen vehicle infrastructure.

To understand the best option, it’s necessary to look into how they work. A gas pump uses a suction pump, while a dispenser uses a submersible pump. The diesel Rabbit phenomena was huge here in Eugene, and I’ve documented many of them over the years here.
