Be aware :
There may be an increase in likelihood of fuel geysering due to a delay in the transition from winter to summer blends at the pump. Winter blends are more volatile since they are formulated to work in colder weather. The transition to a less volatile summer blend occurs in spring for most areas; however, fuel supplies may be transitioning later than normal due to reduced travel.
BE AWARE!
Gasoline being used during the warming months—May, June, July—may be more susceptible to geysering than in previous years.
