Petroleum Fuel Tank Maintenance Guidelines
-
Protect the Tank Material
Regularly inspect the exterior. Repair any surface coating peeling, scratches, or minor corrosion promptly with appropriate anti-corrosion paint. For plastic tanks, avoid sharp objects and impacts. Apply special curing agent regularly to maintain elasticity and reduce aging risks. -
Choose High-Quality Fuel
Always refill with high-quality gasoline from reputable stations to prevent impurities and corrosive components. For long-term storage, choose stable fuel types and regularly check condition to prevent deterioration and colloid formation. -
Regular Cleaning Regime
Clean the interior regularly to remove accumulated impurities and sediment. Use dedicated cleaners and soft tools to avoid damage. Inspect seals and joints, replacing any worn components promptly to prevent leaks. -
Proper Fuel Usage Habits
Avoid leaving tank empty or full for extended periods. Control flow rate when refueling to minimize bubbles. Avoid frequently mixing different brands or grades of gasoline to prevent chemical reactions. -
Environmental Protection
Store equipment in dry, ventilated environments. Avoid prolonged exposure to humidity, high temperatures, or corrosive gases. Install protective covers for outdoor use to prevent direct sunlight and weather damage.
