It breaks off, period: why no gas flows from the gun into the tank at a gas station

The lifespan of a car in Russia is just under three decades. A lot of? Terribly! For the most part, domestic motorists cannot even afford a new Zhigul, let alone a foreign car that has seen the world. But we have to live further, travel, and today only two categories of citizens can afford this celebration of luxury: the rich and the experienced. A striking example of the victory of knowledge over the wallet is on the AvtoVzglyad portal.
Once a week, every car owner stops at a gas station. We will leave out electric waters because of their modest number and our own “dancing with tambourines” around the electric speaker. The majority is still in favor of combustion engines. And over the years he acquires quarrelsome character traits and the love of posing a problem to his owner.
For example, one morning the car may refuse to accept the next portion of gasoline. The gun clicks open – that’s it. It is not nice. Yes, there is a trick with the second position of the “trigger”, but it does not always help: sometimes you have to pour it literally in a thin stream, wasting precious morning hours on a completely useless activity. And when the driver gets tired of this mockery, he begins to solve the problem.
Complex? Not at all, if you understand a little about the structure of the fuel system. There are not so many tricks: a tank, a pump, pipes and nozzles. Filter. But if you dig a little deeper, you can dig into the most useless part of the car: the environment. The craze of car manufacturers to reduce the amount of carbon monoxide, which seems comical against the background of smoking and smoky municipal equipment, has led to the emergence of new units: for example, a desire for afterburning of various types “not embraced”. Do you remember the famous snake that hung on the Zhigula somewhere in the sump protection area?
One of the ‘eco-little things’ is an absorber that captures petrol vapours. When the engine is running they go straight to the collector, but when the engine is off they go there. Simply put, it is a box filled with coal, the entrance to which is preceded by a valve. As soon as they become “moody”, the pressure in the system increases, the plug begins to “hiss” furiously and gasoline refuses to flow into the tank. Change? The wrong ones were attacked! It’s a little difficult to get there, but it will get easier.
The absorber valve is usually disassembled. It can and should simply be cleaned, bled and thereby brought back to life. It’s easy to check: connect 12 volts from the battery and blow: if it explodes, it means it’s working. With the knot itself, things are a little more complicated: in cases that are easy to neglect, you need to shake it hard and tap on the sides. The coal will “spread”, an audible flow will appear – we grab luck by the tail and put the tank in place. Are you unable to ‘stir up’? You will need to open and change the “filler”. This is not to say that this is a simple matter that does not require a higher education degree. Anyone can do it if he or she wants.
After completing the above operations and carefully mounting the system in place, you should drive 50-60 km and then stop at a gas station: if the problem is correctly located and the procedures are carried out correctly, then the lawsuit with the gas tank will end in complete victory for homo sapiens.
