The fuel tank is a low-pressure, low hydrocarbon effusion vessel designed to accommodate both the liquid and vapor phases of the fuel. It stores fuel to run the engine for the desired time & also determines a fuel tank's size, structure, and material and whether the stored fuel is CNG or LNG.
The maximum size of a fuel tank is defined by the weight approved and the space possible in a vehicle. One must check all the fuel tank parts regularly.
Details about Fuel Cap -
Filler caps and fuel caps are essential on many vehicle tanks and storage containers. Many designs freshen the reservoir to relieve pressure or vapor, while others provide an airtight seal. A fuel cap prevents the entry of external materials into and the leakage of fuel from the reservoir.
Some of the Fuel Caps are -
- Gas caps
- Radiator caps
- Oil fill caps
- Tank caps
- Diesel caps
- Race caps
- Flush-mount caps
- Hydraulic caps
Materials
Fuel caps come in various materials, including plastic, steel, aluminum, and brass. You can find finishing on painted, polished, or chrome-plated coverings. Caps may also be left as molded or cast.
The benefit of Gas Cap -
- seal the fuel system's access port
- prevent evaporation and contamination
- Integral locks can restrict entrance to the tank to limit tampering or fuel theft.
