What Size Tube Can Pass Through the Fuel Tank Anti-Theft Screen?

[Kimberly]

Generally, a 1cm diameter oil extraction hose can pass through the car's fuel tank anti-theft screen. The anti-theft fuel tank refers to a new type of fuel tank that prevents oil theft by making it impossible for an oil suction pipe to enter the tank interior even if the fuel cap is damaged. Hard objects also cannot damage the wire mesh through the curved section of the fuel filler neck, effectively solving fuel theft issues. Methods for extracting oil through the fuel tank anti-theft screen: Open the engine hood and locate the gasoline pipes connecting the engine to the fuel tank. Typically, there are three pipes: one is the fuel supply pipe, which pumps gasoline from the fuel pump to the engine; another is the return pipe, sending unused gasoline back to the tank; and the third is the carbon canister pipe, connected to the carbon canister for absorbing gasoline vapors. If you cannot identify the corresponding pipes, remove all three and extend them with plastic tubing to a container for collecting gasoline. Ensure all connections are secure and leak-proof. Then, open the car's relay box, locate the fuel pump relay, remove it carefully, and use a wire to short-circuit pins 85 and 86 on the relay socket. Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it to the "ON" position. For push-button start models, press the start button lightly without depressing the brake pedal. Gasoline will then flow out from the pipes. Once enough gasoline has been extracted, turn off the ignition, remove the short-circuit wire, reinsert the fuel pump relay, and finally reconnect all fuel pipes. Be sure to remember the correct connections to avoid errors. Always prioritize safety during the oil extraction process, ensuring no open flames or flammable materials are nearby, and take necessary fire prevention measures.
