Interesting thought Steve.

When doing gas studies, I carry a 1 gallon can to add gas when I run out. But it occurs to me that a 2.5 gallon or later container would work just as well. Actually some of the lawn care crews might be the best for detecting 'short' pumps.

In Alabama about 10 years ago, someone rigged up the pump so it would add the extra only at certain values. I don't know the details but I suspect they were trying to fool the standards measurer.

What does the standards measurer do with the 5 gallons after the measurement. Do they just dump it back into the storage tank?
