"Shaun's Tips"
Tips for the Spring and Summer
Spring is finally here and we are all anxious
to get out and start mowing the lawn again! Many of our complaints
around this time of year are about "fuel shortage" as we are all filling
our plastic gas cans for the lawn mower, weed eater and other landscaping
equipment.
Typically, our plastic gas cans tend to
stretch over time and each year they may hold a little more fuel than they did
in the past. This tends to lead consumers to believe that they are getting
"ripped off" at the pump. Let's not forget that the plastic gas cans are
not calibrated as well. The "full" line is an approximation of where the
gas should be when filled. These gas cans are also subject to a different
thickness in the plastic from one can to the next which may lead to a difference
in the actual volume of the can as well.
However, should you feel that the pump is not
accurate, please do not hesitate to call and I will get out there and inspect
the pump as soon as possible!
Take time to enjoy the change to warmer
weather!
Sincerely,
Shaun Bland
