1
Selecting Suitable Materials and Protective Coatings
- Use highly corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel and aluminum alloys to reduce rust probability from the source.
- Ensure proper surface protection by applying dedicated rust-preventive primer and topcoat to form a dense protective layer.
- The coating isolates the tank from corrosive effects of air, moisture, and fuel impurities.
- Ensure even coverage across all surfaces, paying special attention to weak points like weld seams and interfaces.
2
Regular Sealing and Leakage Prevention
- Maintain the petrol tank's sealing performance through regular inspections of gaskets, caps, and fuel line interfaces.
- Promptly replace aged or damaged components to prevent rainwater and moisture infiltration.
- Avoid excessive impact and deformation during daily use to prevent coating damage that exposes the base material.
- Immediately reapply rust-preventive coating to any surface scratches to prevent rust spread.
3
Standardize Fuel Addition and Internal Cleaning
- Choose high-quality fuel to avoid impurities and moisture settling at the tank bottom, which accelerates corrosion.
- Regularly clean impurities and sludge from inside the petrol tank.
- Use professional fuel filtration systems to reduce wear and corrosion caused by contaminants.
- When storing equipment for extended periods, keep the tank fully fueled to minimize air retention and reduce moisture condensation.
4
Optimize Storage and Usage Environment
- Avoid prolonged exposure to humid, salt-spray, high-temperature, and high-humidity environments.
- When storing outdoors, use protective covers to shield against rain, snow, and dust.
- Regularly wipe the tank surface to keep it dry and clean, preventing dust and oil buildup that can absorb moisture.
- For long-term unused tanks, place desiccants nearby and regularly check internal conditions to address potential corrosion.
