One of the most popular “horror stories” about cars is related to fueling a car to the brim. Many drivers are sure that it is not safe to “fuel” in this way, while others do it regularly. The AvtoVzglyad portal tells about what is really worth being afraid of.
The most obvious nuisance is filling the tank of your favorite car with “bodyaga” at a gas station with an unknown logo. This risk still exists in the regions. This is especially true for drivers of vehicles with a diesel engine. “Solyara” can generally be summer, which freezes in the cold and immediately stalls the engine on the track. So when your “lamp” comes on, fill up with a lot of “heavy fuel” and use special additives (antigels and cetane correctors). Then look for a gas station of a well-known brand. They certainly won’t cheat.
It also happens that after feeding the “iron horse” in the cabin begins to smell of gasoline. This indicates leaking connections in the bulk system. If a pungent odor appears immediately, the fuel pump may be leaking. This usually happens after repairs, when the unlucky masters did not repair it properly, as a result of which the fumes from the tank enter the “living compartment” through the sealing elements. Did you smell the “aroma”? Go to service immediately, as a strong leak can cause a fire.
Go ahead. There are many drivers who, as it were, “squeeze” fuel. That is, after the fuel nozzle is fired, they take another sip. It is better not to do this, as gasoline will start to splash out when the citizen has unscrewed the filler cap. This happens with used domestic cars.
In modern foreign cars, too, not everything is simple, because they have a complex multi-valve tank ventilation system. Gravity closes the vent pipe when the car is tilted sharply, preventing “fuel” spillage in the event of an accident, for example. The fan supplies air to the tank so that no low-pressure area is created there. When “tamping”, the operation of the valves is disrupted and fuel begins to leak through the drain. In the event of a serious accident, it is fraught with fire.
Finally, we note: rumors and stories do not have to be believed. Feel free to fill the tank until the gun fires and tighten the cap tightly. Everything will be fine.
