The charge capacity of the car - what is it?

The filling capacity is a sealed tank for the placement of combustive-lubricating and other liquid materials necessary to ensure the operation of all components and assemblies of the vehicle. Such products are placed on board a motor vehicle and are one of its elements or spare parts.

Kinds

The filling capacities are:

- gasoline tanks;

- engine crankcase;

- Brake fluid reservoir ;

- radiator of a motor vehicle;

- tanks for windshield washer and for de-icer.

The refueling capacity is also a system of lubrication, cooling the car, power steering and other tanks containing liquid.

Fuel tanks

Basically, ordinary inhabitants of the filling tanks mean fuel tanks or gas tanks. There are different volumes and configurations, depending on the model of the car and the estimated fuel consumption of the particular machine. Naturally, they produce them from stainless materials that can withstand the corrosive environments of hydrocarbon mixtures and water, which can get into them together with gasoline in a dissolved form. These products are part of the system for providing the motor with fuel and are designed to store it. Their design is quite simple - the fuel tank, the neck, the lid for the neck and the outlet for the fuel line. Often they are supplied with filtration systems for incoming fuel, which do not allow water and large fractions to enter the gas tank.

Gulf of fuel is carried through the neck by means of a special "pistol" from the column at the gas station.

In working condition, the motor drives the gasoline pump, which, in turn, pumps the working liquid (gasoline, solar oil) out of the tank and supplies it under pressure further into the fuel system.

Fuel tanks can also have fuel level indication systems that allow timely fueling and preventing engine shutdown due to the lack of gasoline.

Certainly, cars have less capacious tanks for fuel, rather than cargo. For example, KamAZ filling stations Have a very large volume, from 200 to 1000 liters. In addition, they can be reinforced and have a capacity of more than 1000 liters. For the UAZ car, the refueling tanks contain from 50 liters of fuel. These cars can be equipped with additional tanks.

The different size of the reservoirs for liquids in one or another auto is associated with the engine power, the number of cylinders and the size of their combustion chambers (or with fuel consumption).

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

- the neck must be cleaned of dirt and dust;

- it needs to put a double cleaning net;

- At the end of the filling, it is necessary to close the lid tightly with a lid;

- when pouring from another tank, do not allow water and dirt to enter it.

Other containers

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

The brake fluid reservoir is required to supply the brake system (as it is being produced and in case of leakage). It is also equipped with an indicator that signals if the level of the working substance has fallen below the allowable level.

The radiator is designed to cool the working environment, which in turn maintains the required engine temperature. It is part of the overall 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.

Such a refueling tank, like a windshield washer tank, serves to accommodate mixtures that allow car wipers to effectively clean the windshield, as well as substances that protect against freezing in the winter.

Results

As you can see, like a simple and understandable phrase "refueling capacity" extends to a large number of automobile tanks, which ensure the operation of all mechanisms, units and aggregates of the machine. In addition, this concept includes the working systems of the car, through which the circulation of liquids.
