Maintenance methods of fuel tank - SUMAC Auto Recycling Equipment Co.,Ltd

Proper maintenance of fuel tank is extremely critical to the normal operation of equipment and the safety of fuel system. The following are specific maintenance methods:
Regular appearance inspection
Before using the vehicle or equipment each time, carefully check the appearance of the fuel tank. Observe whether there are dents, cracks, and signs of leakage, especially pay attention to welds and joints. If the outer shell is found to be obviously damaged, it should be stopped immediately and sent for repair to prevent danger caused by fuel leakage. For example, daily inspection of automobile fuel tanks can timely detect minor damage caused by stone impact.
Cleaning internal impurities
After long-term use, impurities and sediments are easily accumulated inside the fuel tank. Special fuel cleaner can be added regularly. During the driving process of the vehicle, the cleaner flows with the fuel, dissolves the dirt in the fuel tank, and is filtered and discharged through the fuel filter. At certain mileages, you can also consider disassembling the fuel tank and deep cleaning it with professional tools and solvents to ensure internal cleanliness, ensure fuel purity, and reduce damage to the engine.
Ensure good sealing
The seal of the fuel tank is related to fuel storage and safety. Regularly check the sealing gaskets at the fuel inlet, fuel outlet, and vent. If the gasket is aged, deformed, or damaged, it needs to be replaced in time. Aging seals can easily cause fuel volatilization and leakage, which not only wastes fuel but also poses a fire hazard. For example, in motorcycle fuel tanks, seal problems often cause fuel odor, which can be solved by timely replacement.
Choose high-quality fuel
Poor-quality fuel contains impurities and moisture, which can easily corrode the inner wall of the Fuel Tank and shorten its service life. You should go to a regular gas station to refuel, where the fuel quality is guaranteed. For example, using gasoline that meets the vehicle's required grade can reduce the formation of carbon deposits in the fuel tank and maintain the fuel system in good condition.
Pay attention to oil level changes
Pay close attention to the oil level during daily use. Avoid the fuel tank being at a low oil level for a long time, because the fuel pump needs fuel cooling, and a low oil level can easily cause the fuel pump to overheat, affecting its service life. At the same time, do not let the fuel tank be too full to prevent fuel overflow and damage to the body and surrounding parts.
