Thanks !! Now I know what to do FILL IT TO FULL.

I am planning to start a new thread (under "Technical Stuff" Forum) on this so spread the same awareness to others. And also to know others habbits and best practises for refueling their fuel tanks.

Heres a nice explaination, though some of the stuff mentioned (fuel pump) applies only to cars.

And just to clear your doubts, it's also mentioned here, and this site says Gasoline also contains chemicals such as lubricants, anti-rust agents and anti-icing agents that are added to improve car performance.

So basically its the moisture that evaporates from the petrol that causes rust, and it is given more of a chance to evaporate the more empty space(air) there is in your tank. And something tells me that Indian fuel will have more moisture than most other fuels due to adulteration!
