What to Do When the Oil Tank is Leaking Due to Impact?

[Ortega]

Solution: Apply resin adhesive to a metal plate larger than the leak point (plate thickness of 0.8 to 1.5 mm is sufficient) on the exterior of the leak. Before pasting, clean the area to be adhered, sand it with sandpaper, and clean it again before applying the adhesive. It is best to heat the adhered area for about three hours, maintaining a temperature of around 60°C. If the impact damage is severe, it is recommended to replace the oil tank. Functions of Engine Oil: 1. Reducing Friction and High Temperature: A sufficiently thick oil film separates the surfaces of relatively sliding parts, thereby reducing wear. 2. Sealing: Engine oil can form a seal between the piston rings and pistons, reducing gas leakage and preventing external contaminants from entering. 3. Anti-rust: Lubricating oil adheres to the surfaces of parts, preventing contact with water, air, acidic substances, and harmful gases. 4. Cushioning: When the pressure in the engine cylinder rises sharply, suddenly increasing the load on the pistons, piston rings, connecting rods, and crankshaft bearings, this load is transmitted and lubricated through the bearings, cushioning the impact load. 5. Cleaning: High-quality engine oil can carry carbon deposits, sludge, and worn metal particles from engine parts back to the oil tank through circulation, washing away contaminants generated on the working surfaces of parts via the flow of the lubricating oil.
