ABOUT FUEL COVERS

The fuel door or cover is a metal cover that helps keep debris out of the gas or fuel tank. They are usually located on the left or right side of the vehicle, close to the trunk. The hinge or spring of the fuel door can corrode over time, necessitating replacement of the fuel cover. Inside the fuel cover, a fuel cap is present, which further prevents fuel contamination and protects the fuel tank. If outside contaminants enter the fuel tank, they may clog the fuel filter, fuel lines, fuel injectors, or even the fuel pump. Ultimately, this will prevent the engine from functioning. The fuel cap is a plastic body with threads (older caps) or lugs that fits into the filler neck of the fuel tank. Perfectly calibrated springs and valves are found in quality caps. Standard or locking fuel tank caps make it less likely that someone will mess with your gas tank.

WHY FUEL COVERS/CAPS ARE NECESSARY?

The fuel door cover protects your vehicle from damage, prevents paint from corroding, and keeps it clean and organized. The fuel cover will help protect your vehicle. As the fuel vapors are highly combustible, fuel leaks in a vehicle can be extremely hazardous. A properly installed fuel tank cap prevents fuel vapor leaks by effectively sealing the fuel tank and preventing fuel vapor evaporation. Fuel caps are extremely beneficial for fuel efficiency, aiding in the elimination of fumes and gas evaporation from the fuel tank that contribute to air pollution. In addition to preventing water from causing damage to the fuel system, fuel caps also prevent dirt and other contaminants from entering the delicate systems that are essential to a vehicle's performance. When a car is involved in an accident, including a rollover, the fuel cap is now a crucial safety component that prevents fuel from flowing back out of the tank filler. This reduces the likelihood of fuel leaks and the dangers they present.
