Filling up a car with petrol (Opel Astra J)

            0

Note: Fuel your vehicle with unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of at least 95.


You will need: a canister with gasoline, a special funnel for the neck of the fuel tank, which has a narrowing that prevents filling with leaded gasoline.

Note: Fuel nozzles for leaded petrol dispensers (old-style columns with arrow indicators) were distinguished by an increased diameter. Therefore, to prevent accidental filling with such gasoline, the diameter of the filler neck is made smaller than the diameter of the nozzles of these dispensers, and therefore the funnel tip must also be of a small diameter.


Warning! Do not smoke or use open flames while refueling.


Helpful tips: If the petrol station where you were planning to fill up your car has just drained the fuel from a petrol tanker, it is better to look for another pump or come back here in a few hours. The thing is that not all pumps are equipped with good cleaning filters and it takes time for all the dirt in the petrol to settle to the bottom of the petrol station tank. Fill up your car at proven petrol stations. The power and durability of the engine directly depend on the quality of the petrol. Wipe off any petrol that gets on the body parts immediately with a clean rag. When filling up, do not use plastic canisters or containers, as there is a risk of sparks due to static electricity.

Caution! Since fuel vapors can create increased pressure inside the tank, unscrew the filler cap slowly. This will allow the pressure inside the tank to equalize with the atmospheric pressure. If you see steam coming out from under the cap or hear a hissing sound, stop unscrewing the cap and wait until these sounds stop. Otherwise, fuel may splash out of the tank.

7. Secure the cork into the holder on the inside of the lid.

8. Insert the nozzle of the fuel dispenser into the filler neck of the fuel tank and fill the car. If you are filling the car from a canister, then before filling, insert a funnel into the filler neck of the fuel tank and pour gasoline from the canister.

9. After filling, screw the cap clockwise until it clicks. The cap is equipped with a torque limiter, so it will turn after the click.

10. Close the lid and remove any gasoline spills with a rag.
