Can a Sedan Extract Fuel from the Fuel Tank?
1 Answers
Sedans cannot extract fuel from the fuel tank. The fuel inlet of a car's fuel tank is a curved pipe, making it impossible to draw fuel from there. However, you can open the rear seat cushion to access an opening. The main structure of a car's fuel tank consists of the filler pipe, tank body, fuel tank cap, fuel gauge, and fuel pump. The fuel tank is the container that stores fuel in a car, serving as the sole storage location for fuel in gasoline-powered vehicles and the power source for the engine. The fuel tank delivers fuel to the engine through the rotor mechanism of the fuel pump. The unique aspect of gasoline-powered vehicles is that the fuel pump is located inside the tank, and the heat generated by the rotor mechanism's operation requires the gasoline in the tank to cool it. The fuel pump must remain submerged in gasoline to maintain normal operating temperatures. If the fuel level drops too low, exposing the fuel pump, the heat generated by the rotor's operation can cause the pump to overheat, potentially damaging its components.
