Textbook Question
Chapter 17, Problem 62P
Fuel systems of modern cars are designed so thermal expansion of gasoline doesn’t result in wasteful and polluting fuel spills. As an engineer, you’re asked to specify the size of an expansion tank that will handle this overflow. You know that gasoline comes from its underground storage at 10°C, and your expansion tank must handle the expansion of a full 75-L gas tank when the gas reaches a hot summer day’s temperature of 35°C. How large an expansion lank do you specify?

Early in the morning when the temperature is 5°C, gasoline is
pumped into a car's 51 L steel gas tank until it is filled to the top.
Later in the day the temperature rises to 25°C.
Since the volume of gasoline increases more for a given temperature increase
than the volume of the steel tank, gasoline will spill out of the tank.
How much gasoline spills out in this case?
Bsteet
35 x 10-6/K
gasoline = 950 x 10-6/K
An aluminum cup of 120 cm³ capacity is completely filled with glycerin at 16°C. How much glycerin will spill out of the cup if the
temperature of both the cup and glycerin is increased to 37°C? (The linear expansion coefficient of aluminum is 23 x 10-6 1/C°. The
coefficient of volume expansion of glycerin is 5.1 x 10-4 1/C°.)

I'm confused about this problem. What equation would I use?
A 60,000 L fuel tank is filled with gasoline on a -10°C day, then rolled into a storage shed where the temperature is 20°C. If the tank is not vented, what minimum volume needs to be left empty at filling time so that the tank doesn’t rupture as it warms?
