There are no holes but a potential lack of a full seal at the cap. I too looked for evidence and found leaked petrol deposited on the body paint all around the fill neck door. After cleaning up, nobody would be the wiser.

It's only liquid under some pressure.

How do you tell it can leak? There is no hole other than rust spots that might prevent air tight sealing. The key word is "might". It might not.

No, I have better things to do. I will sand the rust bubbles instead and find ways to prevent the debris going down the neck. Failing the sanding, a new china neck it is.

Did you miss my study of evaporation from a leaky container? The US study does not contradict mine. Their parameters are different.

Many academics are logically challenged. This is why many PhD's have no common sense. The natural state of petrol is gaseous. This is the reason why it evaporates. This is also the reason why the americans call petrol "gas" - they are being more scientifically accurate. All the available...

You missed the point. It did take ages.The micra wouldn't have a big tank to begin with.

Yes, it opened very easily. In fact, so easily I realised there might be a problem. I was investigating a large dirt patch on the body paint around the fill door. Further examination revealed some bubbled up rust where the cap seals might contact the fill neck. This may or may not have opened an...

With your giving up this quickly, we'd be lucky to make it to 3 pages.

A leaky container is open air. It's a bit like saying steam only escapes in open air. It doesn't. Steam would push open the pot lid and escape. Same principle for petrol. Steam has a certain pressure, likewise for petrol fumes. When the container isn't able to withstand that pressure, the...

We can all agree petrol is highly evaporative.

Photo evidence demonstrates otherwise. Reversing a chemical reaction that produces heat would produce cold.

It can be opened easily. There is no liquid leak. Therefore it must be a pass then? It's an air leak that allows evaporation.

You need to keep with the times. Google AI: AI Overview Learn more Yes, a battery can get cold when it discharges, especially in cold environments, because the chemical reactions happening inside the battery that produce electricity also generate heat; when the battery is discharging, these...

The charger battery becomes a fridge during discharge and condenses air moisture into water. This will have to be dealt with by padding it with a thick towel. Water is pooling at the base as well as on the "ledge" below the top.

Nothing nonsense about evaporating a tank of petrol. Was full last Jul.

Maybe I syphoned it for the petrol I wanted to buy for experimental cleaning of stuff?

He has no care for european interest in ukraine. He got what he wanted: syria. In return he paid some nice words for the russians for being good boys.

Well, a full tank of petrol gone with car not driven. That's pretty bad consumption.

The leak is slow enough to not produce a smell. The only evidence is petrol gone and rust bubbles at the cap area. Also dirt built up on paint around the filler door in a large patch. There should be a sensor to indicate a leak, i.e. vacuum pressure too low. Google: What does an evap fuel tank...
