Does a Full Fuel Tank Affect the Car?
1 Answers
A full fuel tank can affect the car in several ways: 1. Increased safety risks: Due to thermal expansion, overfilling the tank can cause fuel to leak from the vent hole, potentially leading to fire or even explosion if exposed to an open flame. 2. Clogged vent hole: Overfilling can block the vent hole, disrupting the pressure balance in the fuel tank and causing malfunctions in the fuel supply system. 3. Damage to vehicle components: Excess fuel may flow into the air intake, causing the spark plugs to malfunction and preventing the car from starting. 4. Unpleasant odors: Spilled fuel can evaporate inside the vehicle, creating foul smells.
