Car filling capacity - what is it?

The filling tank is a sealed reservoir for placing fuel, lubricants and other liquid materials necessary to ensure the functioning of all components and assemblies of the vehicle. Such products are placed on board the vehicle and are one of its elements or spare parts.

Refill tanks include:

- gas tanks;

- crankcase;

- brake fluid reservoir;

- car radiator;

- reservoirs for windshield washer and de-icer.

Filling tank - it is also lubrication systems, car cooling, power steering and other reservoirs containing liquid.

Fuel tanks

Basically, ordinary people under filling tanks mean fuel tanks or gas tanks. They come in different sizes and configurations, depending on the car model and the estimated fuel consumption of a particular car. Naturally, they are made from stainless materials that can withstand aggressive environments.hydrocarbon mixtures and water, which can get into them together with gasoline in dissolved form. These products are part of the vehicle engine fuel supply system and are intended for its storage. Their design is quite simple - a fuel tank, a neck, a cap for the neck and an outlet for the fuel line. Often they are equipped with incoming fuel filtration systems that prevent water and large fractions from entering the gas tank.

Fueling is carried out through the neck using a special "gun" from a dispenser at a gas station.

In working condition, the motor drives the fuel pump, which, in turn, pumps out the working fluid (gasoline, solarium) from the tank and feeds it under pressure further into the fuel system.

Gasoline tanks can also have fuel level indication systems that allow you to refuel on time and prevent the engine from stopping due to lack of gasoline.

Of course, cars have smaller fuel tanks than trucks. For example, KamAZ filling tanks have a very large volume, from 200 to 1000 liters. In addition, they can be reinforced and have a capacity of over 1000 liters. For a UAZ car, refueling tanks can hold from 50 liters of fuel. These vehicles may be equipped with additional tanks.

Different sizes of fluid reservoirs for different cars are related to engine power, the number of cylinders and the size of their combustion chambers (orfuel consumption).

When using them, remember that refueling the fuel tank must be carried out in accordance with the following rules:

- the neck must be free of dirt and dust;

- it is necessary to place a double cleaning grid in it;

- at the end of refueling, tightly close the neck with a lid;

- when overflowing from another tank, it is necessary to prevent water and dirt from entering it.

Other containers

The engine crankcase contains oil needed to lubricate its components and assemblies.

The brake fluid reservoir is required to supply the brake system with fluid (as it is used up and in the event of a leak). It is also equipped with an indicator that signals if the level of the working substance has fallen below the permissible level.

The radiator is designed to cool the working environment, which, in turn, maintains the required temperature of the engine. It is part of the general cooling system of the car. A feature of this element of the car is that it consists of a kind of lattice of tubes through which the cooling mixture or water circulates.

A refill container such as a windshield washer reservoir is used to contain mixtures that allow car wipers to effectively clean the windshield, as well as substances that protect against freezing in winter.

Results

As you can see, the seemingly simple and understandable phrase "filling capacity" applies to a large number of automotive tanks,which ensure the operation of all mechanisms, components and assemblies of the machine. In addition, this concept also includes the working systems of the car, through which fluids circulate.
