YOGYAKARTA "Have you ever asked why the cover of the car tank is on the right and left?" Why not make a uniform on one side?
The position of the closing of the car tank turned out to be deliberately not uniform. This means that there is a reason why the laying of the tank cover is not uniform. This article will provide information for you.
It should be noted that until now there are no rules governing the location of the vehicle fuel tank door, both on cars and on motorbikes.
In the car's vehicle, the tank door is partially on the right and some are on the left. While on the motorbike the tank door is placed under the saddle or seat, there are also those in front, even in the middle.
Basically, the vehicle factory is given the freedom to regulate the position of the fuel tank cover. The laying of the vehicle's own tank cap is based on the design and design of the vehicle. However, the laying of the tank position must consider many things.
For example, vehicle manufacturers have tank placement rules and tank covers based on driver safety. Tanks are usually placed in the widest part of the car, away from the complex zone or area that functions as a damping of the impact. In addition, tank covers must also be easily accessible.
In addition, the laying of the car tank considers the center of gravity or the weight point of the car. This means that the tank placement must make the car have a balanced weight. Even other sources say that production costs are also a separate consideration in determining the placement of the car tank cover.
However, it should be noted that in the 60th to 70s, several cars had fuel tank caps behind closed by vehicle number plates. This was done so that refueling would be easier. Unfortunately, this position is very unsafe because it is feared that a collision from behind caused the tank to leak and trigger car fires.
The laying of the tank cover must also be easily accessible so that there are no difficulties when filling up fuel. Vehicle tank covers are usually made evenly with a car body with a cover. When filling up fuel, drivers do not need to go down to open the tank cover because it can be opened from the inside by pulling the available lever.
