Does shaking a vehicle while filling up allows for more fuel to be added compared to when not shaking?

Question of the Day: Which is the most hair-raising South African mountain pass you've driven?
Does shaking a vehicle while filling up makes a difference?

Does this lead to a virus or something dodgy?

I think the general assumption is that the shaking gets rid of trapped air and you get more fuel..
Reality is though, the extra fuel you might get, is tiny in comparison to the size of your tank..

When you sake the car it uploads the petrol to cloud, so it allows the car more room for petrol. So they say.

On paper? Yes.
In reality, no.
At best you are getting maybe 500ml extra in there but the thing is unless you are driving a considerable distance immediately after you are likely to lose it all in the overflow.

Same same, typing whilst being shaken in that taxi might improve it slightly.

You may be right and it will continue even after fully charging an EV it shall be done to allow for more charging.
