What to Do When There Is Oil Overflow at the Fuel Tank Opening?
1 Answers
Solutions for oil overflow at the fuel tank opening: When refueling, reduce the flow rate as the tank nears full capacity. Wait for the bubbles to subside slowly before continuing. Avoid filling the tank completely to prevent oil from spilling. Oil overflow at the fuel tank opening is primarily due to issues at gas stations, where fuel may contain expansion agents. Rapid refueling compresses the air inside, leading to sudden spurts. Below are three potential damages to the vehicle caused by overfilling the fuel tank: 1. If the overflow reaches the paint surface, it can corrode the vehicle's paint, leading to peeling. 2. The fuel tank generates fuel vapor, which requires some space to function. Overfilling the tank can cause excess fuel vapor to carry gasoline into the engine, leading to inefficient fuel consumption. 3. It may result in a noticeable gasoline smell inside the vehicle. Generally, it is best to fill the tank only halfway.
