Experienced motorists know that driving with an almost empty tank will harm your car, or rather the gasoline pump, and even lead to engine pollution. But it is also not worth filling the tank completely to the brim, as this may also cause malfunctions.
Ventilation system
Current ventilation systems are capable of quite efficiently removing saturated vapors, informing us about the possible sudden ignition of fuel in an accident. But in order for this system to work on time and correctly, there must be a small amount of air in the gas tank in order for constant ventilation and moderate cooling to be present. Therefore, do not fill the tank to the top.
Tank rupture
Modern tanks are made of plastic, and this saves from corrosion. However, if there is no ventilation, the tank may burst at high air temperatures. Therefore, be extremely careful. Cracks may also appear, which lead to a splash of fuel outward, which can provoke a car fire. Be careful with this, because it can save your life and the lives of your passengers.
Increase in car mass
The tank of a car, depending on the brand, holds an average of 50-70 liters of fuel. And this adds weight to the car - speed and power deteriorate, starting acceleration. Due to excess weight, machine parts can quickly become unusable and even completely break down, which leads to unnecessary costs for both repairs and the purchase of new spare parts. At high speed and heavy weight, the car is less responsive to control, this is more likely to lead to a serious accident.
Tank cleaning
If you often refuel your vehicle at different gas stations, you run the risk of getting low-quality fuel. In small quantities, mixing different types of gasoline will not lead to serious damage, but if you pour 40-45 liters of low-quality fuel on top of the residue, it can lead to blockages. You will need an expensive cleaning product if you don't want to tow your car to the nearest auto repair shop soon.
Fuel draining by ill-wishers
The facts of fuel draining from the car by intruders are very common nowadays. And the easiest way to do this is at a tank filled to the brim with fuel, because in most cases attackers use a hose and in the literal sense of the word suck fuel from your tank into their canister. Navryatli will be pleased to find an empty gas tank in the morning before driving to work.
The benefits of filling the tank to the top
The only benefit of such a refueling is to solve condensate problems. If the temperature difference is large, moisture condensation may occur. It occurs due to a layer of air in an iron container.
