    You know after looking at it again and going back through the numbers I do believe you are correct. How I messed up my liter to ounce conversion I have no idea.

    I take back what I said.

    Totally Understandable.
    You look at that 0.0007 number an immediately think, "This is almost nothing!"

    I ran my numbers tree times for the same reason.
    The answer just looks too big to be true! But it is!

    I used to work for a major cell phone company.
    We had Emergency generators installed at most Cellsites.
    In the Winter, if you filled the 250-gallon diesel fuel tanks any closer than 3 inches from the fill neck, they would overflow during the spring warmup.
    Before you could blink, those darn HazMat guys would show up and management would be really upset when they got the cleanup bill.

    Thank you both. We know that the problem is about oil swelling due to temperature rise. We were impressed by the big difference, I decided to confirm it. Obviously the increase varies according to the oil manufacturer. Thank you for your time.
