How to Repair a Cracked Plastic Fuel Tank?
1 Answers
Currently, the non-metal fuel tanks used in vehicles are made by molding a mixture of resin and ABS engineering plastic in specific proportions. Although this material can be repaired by high-temperature fusion for cracks, the strength after such repair is significantly lower than the original factory condition. Since fuel tanks involve safety issues, it is best to replace them. Below is more relevant information about fuel tanks: 1. The components of a fuel tank include: fuel tank cap, partition, fuel gauge sensor, fuel inlet and return pipes, fuel filler neck, and vent. 2. The maintenance methods for fuel tanks are: cleaning the air valve and vapor valve, and regularly removing sediment from the tank. 3. The function of a diesel engine is: to convert the thermal energy of gasoline or diesel into mechanical energy by burning the fuel in a sealed cylinder, causing the gas to expand and push the piston to perform work. 4. The maintenance methods for diesel engines include: (1) Using qualified engine oil. (2) Using qualified coolant. (3) Regularly cleaning scale from the radiator. (4) Periodically removing carbon deposits from the engine.
