Is It Dangerous to Fill Up the Gas Tank in Summer?
1 Answers
Filling up the gas tank in summer can be dangerous and unsafe while driving. Here is some information about filling up the gas tank: 1. Reason: The gas tank has a vent hole at the top. If the tank is filled up, gasoline can easily overflow from the vent hole. This is why some cars may have gasoline near the rear wheels. If there happens to be an open flame, the overflowing gasoline can easily ignite. 2. Impact on performance: More gasoline increases the vehicle's weight, requiring the engine to consume more fuel to move the car. Additionally, if the vent hole is blocked, negative pressure can form inside the tank, leading to poor fuel supply and reduced engine power.
