Can oil be pumped out of a Corolla fuel tank?
2 Answers
Oil cannot be pumped out of a Corolla fuel tank due to its anti-siphoning design. Corolla body dimensions: The Corolla has a body length of 4635mm, width of 1780mm, and height of 1455mm or 1435mm. It is a compact car under FAW Toyota, featuring a MacPherson strut front suspension and an E-type multilink rear suspension. Corolla powertrain configuration: It is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine and a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine. The cylinders are arranged in an L-shape with 4 cylinders and 4 valves per cylinder. It comes with a 10-speed continuously variable transmission and an electronic continuously variable transmission.
A friend of mine has been driving a Corolla for several years, and he always asks me if he can siphon gas out for use. Honestly, this is quite dangerous. Modern cars, including the Corolla, are basically equipped with anti-siphon systems to prevent fuel theft or accidental leakage. The fuel tank opening is designed to make it very difficult to insert a tube for siphoning. Even if you manage to force it in, the fuel might splash everywhere. If it comes into contact with sparks or high temperatures, it could easily cause a fire or explosion, harming yourself or the car. I strongly advise against trying it. If you really need gasoline, it's much safer and more convenient to buy a dedicated gasoline can and fill it at a gas station. Also, regularly check the seal of your fuel tank cap while driving to avoid fuel leakage. Safety should always come first.
