Can a Car Get Damaged by Sun Exposure?
1 Answers
Exposing a car to direct sunlight will not cause damage. Below is an introduction to the evaporation of gasoline related to sun exposure: 1. Evaporation: Evaporation is a physical phenomenon that occurs with all liquids. The higher the temperature, the faster the evaporation. Liquids with lower density evaporate more easily than those with higher density. Gasoline and alcohol have similar densities (gasoline is slightly lower), both being liquids that evaporate easily. 2. Sealing: As long as gasoline is sealed in an airtight fuel tank, theoretically, it will not evaporate. However, the fuel in a car is stored in the fuel tank, which is generally not completely airtight and has some ventilation with the atmosphere. Therefore, the gasoline stored in the car will inevitably evaporate to some extent.
