Gasoline at 55.0oC is pumped from an underground storage facility into a 12.0 gallon steel gas tank of a car, filling the tank completely. It is however a very warm day - the temperature is 30.0oC. Assume the car is not driven anywhere and comes into equilibrium with the environment. How much gasoline overflows the gas tank?
