Can You Fill Up the Gas Tank in Summer?
1 Answers
In summer, you should not fill up the gas tank completely. If the tank is completely filled, leaving no air inside, parking the car under sunlight may cause gasoline to leak out through the vent. Gasoline is a volatile, flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture obtained from the distillation, cracking, or pyrolysis of petroleum. It is primarily used as fuel for spark-ignited internal combustion engines and mainly consists of organic compounds derived from crude oil distillation and various additives. The fuel tank is a container in aircraft or automobiles designed to hold fuel, or a specialized container in hydraulic systems for storing hydraulic oil or fluid. Fuel tanks can be categorized into open-type and closed-type tanks.
