Been noticing a weird issue with my petrol car’s fuel filling lately and wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this.

I’ve been using the same car since 2023. Normally, when the fuel is almost empty and I go for a full tank, it usually takes around 38 to 39 litres max. My car’s official fuel tank capacity is 40L, so that always made sense because some fuel is still left in the tank.

But from the last few fuel top-ups, I’ve started seeing strange numbers:

- 40L, 40.5L, 40.85L, even 41L once

And this is while there was still some fuel remaining before refill. I’m unable to understand how a 40L tank is suddenly accepting more than 40L consistently.

Could this be:

- Air gap / expansion in tank design?

- Different auto cut-off sensitivity?

- Or am I missing something technically?

Would really appreciate if someone with automotive knowledge can explain this. It has genuinely confused me.

I think I just discovered what’s been silently killing my phone(s) for months — and I honestly can’t believe it.

I’ve been using for years because I get a lot of unknown calls, and it’s always been super helpful. But lately, things started getting really bad.

On my OnePlus Open:

- Battery would drain insanely fast

- Phone temperature would shoot up like a boiling pan

- The device would hang randomly

- Incoming calls wouldn’t show names properly

- Contacts saved via Truecaller looked weird/inconsistent

- And the worst part — system battery stats showed the internal “Phone/Calling” process using up to 70% battery

I thought maybe it was a device issue… so I upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S24.

Same. Exact. Problems.

At this point, I was convinced something was seriously wrong with Android or my usage. But today, out of frustration, I randomly decided to uninstall Truecaller.

And suddenly:

- Phone is cool again

- Battery drain is normal

- No hanging

- Calls are working fine

- Overall performance feels like a new device

I genuinely couldn’t believe the difference.

Now I’m stuck in a weird situation — I’m kind of addicted to Truecaller because of how useful it is for unknown calls, but clearly something is not right with how it behaves (at least in my case).

Has anyone else faced this?

Is there any lighter or safer alternative for caller ID?

Or is there a way to use it without it wrecking the phone?

Would really appreciate your thoughts.
