Chevrolet K1500 Fuel Tank
The Fuel Tank of Chevrolet K1500's is a receptacle for fuel and it contains the electric fuel pump as well as the fuel gauge sender. It is also significantly involved in the Evaporative Emission Control System (EVAP) to help minimize fuel vapors' escape. Depending on their constructions these tanks may be metallic or plastic; however both metallic tanks are prone to corrosion and rusting while plastic tanks, though affect by temperature variation and vibrations, may crack. Cars used in racing are usually fitted with fuel cells which are normally designed to be strong enough to avoid busting and Splashing fuel in cases of a crash. Military grade, high capacity fuel tanks to increase range by 500 miles are also present; these fuel tanks are made from polymers which prevents corrosion unlike steel tanks. Some of the ways that can help to keep the fuel tank in proper order includes: washing, refilling always, and washing out the damaging fuel.
