How much fuel is advisable to keep in the tank of our car, due to its operation.

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Checks and maintenance

This very interesting video clarifies many concepts regarding the fuel tank, and also how much gasoline (or diesel) it is good to keep in the tank itself. If gasoline vapors combine with air, a very explosive mixture is created, and the tank is designed to avoid this problem. When we refuel, the vapors condense through an active carbon filter and are reintroduced into the fuel system. Obviously, the gasoline cap must be airtight, because it must not let air in or let vapors out. Let's talk about the gasoline pump, which in modern cars is immersed in the tank. The fuel provides cooling for it, until the tank level is about halfway. If we have the habit of always driving on reserve, it is not unlikely that the pump could burn out.
