Is it bad to fill up the gas tank in hot weather?
1 Answers
In this situation, it is not recommended to fill up the car's fuel tank during summer. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Filling up the tank too much causes gasoline to evaporate faster: Rapid gasoline evaporation first leads to energy waste. Secondly, the evaporated gasoline odor can enter the car cabin, and long-term inhalation can affect human health. 2. Overfilling the tank can severely reduce the performance of the carbon canister: This ultimately leads to issues such as engine shaking and increased fuel consumption. 3. There is a certain safety hazard: The car's fuel tank has a vent hole at the top. If the tank is filled to the brim, gasoline can easily overflow from the vent hole. If there happens to be an open flame nearby, the spilled gasoline is very likely to ignite.
