The overflow spillage of gasoline from a car's full tank on a hot day is evidence that gasoline expands

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gasoline is a liquid that expands when heated. On a hot day, the temperature of the gasoline inside the car's full tank rises, causing the gasoline to expand. If the expansion of the gasoline exceeds the capacity of the tank, the excess gasoline will spill out of the tank. This is evidence that gasoline expands more than the tank metal.
