Tips in Identifying the Causes behind Chevrolet K1500 Fuel Tank Issues
Fuel tank problems are common in almost all types of cars and trucks. Fixing them is a pretty easy job, but it's a little complicated when you're repairing gas tanks on vehicles equipped with computer sensors. When you see the first sign of gas leaks, you must act quickly. Gas leaks can initiate fire, which can cause you serious physical injuries. Prevent this from happening by following these basic troubleshooting tips to diagnose the causes of tank problems in your Chevrolet K1500.
Pressure build up
Fuel pressure increases mainly because of heat. Extremely high temperatures inside the combustion chamber allow the gasoline to vaporize inside the fuel reservoir. The constant movement of the car also increases the chances for the fuel to vaporize. To check if the pressure is already too much, you must pop the hood and find the fuel pump relay. It is found under the fuse box. Slowly disconnect the relay from the connection. You'll hear a loud swooshing sound if there's pressure build up inside the tank. Be careful while doing this, because some of the fuel may squirt. Wear goggles to protect your eyes.
Fuel contamination
Impurities in your fuel can cause rough idle, stalling, and fuel pump and injector failure. These contaminants begin to enter your Chevrolet K1500 fuel tank when there are cracks and punctures on the fuel lines or on the tank itself. To check the condition of your fuel, observe its color. Darkish-brown hue indicates that your gas is already tainted, hence must be replaced. Also, if you notice that the coolant is floating on top of your gas, you have to flush out your current fuel and refill the coolant container with a fresh, new one.
Flaking inner lining
The inner lining of your Chevrolet K1500 fuel tank may chip and flake. When this debris accumulates, they may begin to clog the fuel lines and the fuel pump. To see if the bottom of your tank is chipping, open the cap of the tank and look for floating objects on your fuel. Flush your fuel out and refill your tank with fresh, uncontaminated gas.
You need to check your Chevrolet K1500 fuel tank every once in a while to know if it's still in good working condition. There could be dirt build up inside it that can hamper its normal operation. Aside from cleaning, there are other necessary things that you should do to keep your tank intact for a long time. Here are some useful tips in maintaining your fuel tank.
- Clean the tank. Why hire a professional to clean your tank if you can do it yourself? As long as you have the right tools and you know the precise procedure, there's nothing to worry about. The most important thing that you need is a fuel tank cleaner to remove rust and other contaminants that already settled at the bottom of the tank. This chemical compound is available at your local auto parts store.
- Keep your tank full. Never drive your Chevrolet K1500 when there's not enough fuel especially during cold seasons. When the temperature is low, the moisture inside your fuel tank condenses. This causes huge amount of water to accumulate inside the container. Because water is denser than gas, it settles below the tank and enters the fuel hoses and pumps. When the water freezes, it will block the lines. When this happens, you'll experience stalling and loss of power. That's why you should always maintain the right level of fuel in your tank.
- Flush out contaminated fuel. Aside from dust and dirt, there are other materials that are more damaging to the fuel tank. Sugar and bleach are some. Jokesters sometimes victimize car owners by pouring sugar into the fuel tank. If you're one of the unlucky prey of this prank, you need to flush the fuel out immediately. You can use a vacuum pump to siphon all the gas out. Pour hot water into the tank and leave it for two hours to dissolve all the remaining sugar. Make sure that the tank is completely clean before filling it with fresh fuel.
- Remove rust. Corrosion weakens the fuel tank. It also contaminates your fuel causing you to spend a lot in oil change. You tank is more prone to rust if you are using diesel. Usually, rust particles settle at the bottom of the tank when it is filled with diesel fuel. To remove stubborn rust, pour vinegar into the container. Rinse off with running water using your garden hose. Also, use rust-preventive materials such as fiberglass resin and polyresin.
