Automotive fuel cans can be found in the trunks and garages of various motorists. They store fuel for a rainy day or are used for regular “feeding” of boat engines, lawnmowers and power cultivators. Such tanks also have their shortcomings, which experienced helmsmen skillfully correct. This is what the AvtoVzglyad portal tells about.
Recall that the choice of a bus itself is not as easy as it might seem at first glance. Each has its own design features. For example, if the lid is hinged, the rubber gasket may fall out of its normal place. This can cause drops of gasoline to get into the eyes. So it is better to choose options where the cork is simply unscrewed.
If the neck is in the middle, it often leads to fuel pulses, gurgling, and spills. Therefore, it must be shifted from the center. This creates a cushion of air above the surface of the fuel, removing the said negative symptoms. In addition, the siphon tube for air access affects the ease of transfusion. If not, fuel leaks are almost guaranteed.
The shape of the neck is also important. The wider, the better. But if it forms some kind of “non-spill” inside, then it will not be possible to completely empty the tank. Finally, such a trifle as the design of the handle allows you to comfortably hold the tank when filling the tank, as well as when carrying it.
All of the above shows that many motorists suffer from small droplets of precious fuel. In addition, it is very annoying when small drops fall on trousers and shoes. Clothes stink and the smell of lime is unpleasant. To avoid this, drivers have come up with a simple way.
A rubber ring is placed on the neck of the canister. It prevents leaks. An important point – the rubber must be gasoline resistant. You can buy these at a hardware store. For example, make different snakes out of it. And they also follow the rule: if the “throat” is on the left, then the fuel must be curled so that it is on top.
And the last tip. If the car gadget we mentioned has been in the garage for the winter, do not be too lazy to visually assess its condition. Rust on the inside will tell you to throw the tank away. After all, rotten iron particles can easily get into the fuel line and clog it.
