Does the volume of diesel fuel change with the temperature? I had my barrel filled just before the big snowstorm hit the midwest. Haven't used any out of it. I came home yesterday after work and walked past the barrel and diesel fuel was leaking on the stand and ground. I got a ladder and checked the fill cap, fuel was within 1" of the top, the vent in the top of the tank had fuel drips hanging on it and a trail down the side of the tank. I got the tractor out and filled it up. No more leaks today. Was in the 20's when filled and mid 40's today. Would the fuel expand that much with the temp change? I have never seen this happen before. Thanks, wouldn't want the epa out here sniffing around. Thanks, No Name
