Whoever wrote this is full of the stupids.Ground temperature is very steady, and so is the fuel in the tank.
Waste of time to read further.
True. Here in North Carolina the ground temp STAYS about 55 degrees when you get 8 to 15 inches underground ALL YEAR ROUND. Some of the formulas above (they are correct for the numbers they use but they) are not real world. Ground temp does not daily change 20 degrees.
