Gasolines thermal expansion coefficient is 95 x 10-4degree


Gasoline's thermal expansion coefficient is 9.5 x 10^-4(degree C^-1). A truck's 110 gallon (416.4 L) gas tank is full on a 14 degree C summer morning. The truck drives into the desert, where the afternoon temperature reaches 36 degree C.

How much gasoline spills from the tank due to thermal expansion? (Ignore possible expansion of the tank itself. Modern vehicles have expansion tanks to prevent such spillage.)
