The fuel tank filler pipe has a seal, either mechanical or liquid, to stop vapors from escaping the filler tube. A mechanical seal is usually an annular elastomeric material through which the nozzle must pass during refueling, preventing vapors from escaping alongside the nozzle.
1988: The California Air Resources Board (CARB) requires that all new vehicles sold in California from 1988 onward have some basic OBD capability (such as detecting problems with fuel metering and Exhaust gas recirculation.) [7] [8] These requirements are generally referred to as "OBD-I", though this name is a retronym applied after the ...
OBD-II PIDs (On-board diagnostics Parameter IDs) are codes used to request data from a vehicle, used as a diagnostic tool.. SAE standard J1979 defines many OBD-II PIDs. All on-road vehicles and trucks sold in North America are required to support a subset of these codes, primarily for state mandated emissions inspections.
Vapor lock is a problem caused by liquid fuel changing state to vapor while still in the fuel delivery system of gasoline-fueled internal combustion engines.This disrupts the operation of the fuel pump, causing loss of feed pressure to the carburetor or fuel injection system, resulting in transient loss of power or complete stalling.
A cascade filling system is a high-pressure gas cylinder storage system that is used for the refilling of smaller compressed gas cylinders. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In some applications, each of the large cylinders is filled by a compressor , otherwise they may be filled remotely and replaced when the pressure is too low for effective transfer.
Fiat Chrysler says the problem happens in 1% of Cherokees, and most are covered by five-year powertrain warranties. For 2014 and 2015 models, transmissions are covered for 100,000 miles. For 2016 ...
This requires a quality assurance test to identify the possibility of leaks. A common procedure in the industry is to perform a pressure test on the tank. All holes are temporarily plugged and the fuel tank is pressurized with air. A gauge is used to monitor the air pressure. A drop in pressure reveals a leak in the tank.
“Now my blood pressure’s really up,” Anderson says. “I can feel my heart.” “It’s always a discussion between us,” McCoy assures her. “Physically your body has to be ready to do it. You’re getting there. You’re not there yet, but you’re getting there.”
