1 Answers
The disadvantages of a full fuel tank include: 1. Increased risk of fire; 2. Higher fuel consumption; 3. Potential blockage of ventilation holes. A fuel tank is a container for storing fuel in aircraft or automobiles, and it is also a specialized container in hydraulic systems for storing hydraulic oil or fluid. Fuel tanks can be divided into two types: open tanks and closed tanks. A fuel tank must have sufficient capacity. To maintain oil cleanliness, the tank should have a sealed cover with an air filter installed on it. The bottom of the tank should be at least 150mm above the ground, and special attention should be paid to the anti-corrosion treatment of the inner surface. In a hydraulic system, besides storing oil, the fuel tank also functions to dissipate heat, separate air bubbles from the oil, and settle impurities.
