Unscrewing the fuel tank cap and hearing a suction sound is due to the internal pressure of the fuel tank being lower than the external atmospheric pressure. The fuel tank cap refers to the component on a car used to store gasoline, typically square in shape, made of stainless steel with good sealing properties. Its opening is circular and only about the size of a bottle cap. Solutions for a fuel tank cap that cannot be opened normally include: 1. Remove the liner inside the trunk that covers the fuel tank; 2. After locating the locking mechanism of the fuel tank cap, pull the release cable to open it. The fuel tank is a container in a car designed to hold fuel, specifically used in hydraulic systems to store hydraulic oil or fluid. Its main functions include dissipating heat, separating air bubbles from the oil, and settling impurities.

Is it necessary to apply anti-rust coating on a new car's chassis?

New car chassis do not require anti-rust coating. Here is more information about chassis anti-rust treatment: 1. Functions: (1) Rust and corrosion prevention. Anti-rust coating can effectively isolate contact with moisture and acidic substances in the air, extending the vehicle's service life. (2) Impact resistance. After applying anti-rust coating to the car's underside, even gravel impacting with 300 kg of force won't penetrate it. (3) Improved driving comfort. Chassis anti-rust treatment can eliminate resonance caused by friction between wheels and road surface, significantly reducing interior noise. 2. Service life: Generally 3 years or 60,000 km, or 4 years or 100,000 km. It's recommended to perform chassis anti-rust treatment once a year.
