Many car enthusiasts prefer to fill up the tank with gasoline or diesel fuel at once, so that they have to remember to refuel as rarely as possible.
However, this time saving has its significant drawbacks.
Let's figure out why you shouldn't fill up your tank, especially if it's the height of summer.
Consequences of filling up to a full tank
Any fuel tank is equipped with its own ventilation system. That is why, when you fill it with gasoline or diesel fuel to the maximum, you risk overloading this ventilation system.
And this, in turn, is fraught with deformation and the formation of cracks in the gas tank.
An overfilled tank can also cause the carbon filter to become clogged.
Another reason why you shouldn't do this is the increased risk of contamination of the car's chassis or wiring with excess fuel.
When it comes to refueling in hot weather, there is an additional risk.
If the car is exposed to the sun for a long time, the fuel will begin to expand under the influence of high temperatures. And if the fuel tank cap is not screwed on tightly, the fuel from the overfilled tank will definitely end up outside.
