Can You Still Drive with a Leaking Fuel Tank?
1 Answers
If the car's fuel tank is continuously leaking gasoline, it should not be driven. Below is an extended introduction about gasoline: 1. Density: The specific gravity of gasoline ranges from 0.71 to 0.77. The higher the density, the larger the volume of aromatic hydrocarbons. The trading standard reference for marketable gasoline (in Europe) is 0.755 kg/L (6.30 lb/US gal), and its price fluctuates based on its actual density. Due to its low density, gasoline floats on water, so water cannot typically be used to extinguish fires unless in a fine mist. 2. Storage: If stored properly, high-quality gasoline should remain stable for six months. However, since gasoline is a mixture rather than a single compound, it will gradually degrade over time due to the separation of its components.
