it goes by the kind of car you use a t what brand gas was always used in it when u bought it. if you are buying a brand new car then u start it off of what kind of gas will be used and being that gas is a liquid it just flows in any kind of car hole because all cars have whole openings for gas. Personally I don't think the above person understood the question... A gas is able to fill a container because it has no fixed volume or shape, therefore using diffusion to fill the empty spaces; now you have a container full of a gas.


Do liquids always fill their container?

Gravity. The gravitational pull of the Earth will exert a force on anything with a mass and pull it towards the centre of the Earth. As we're essentially standing on the surface of a sphere, the centre of the Earth is pretty much straight down and gravity will pull liquids to the bottom of any container.
