    Micra fuel tank leak

    You will have to cut up your tractor tank to see. If I were to deign it, I would have a tube between the breather hole and the bottom of the tank. This reduces the evaporation surface to the cross section of the tube. The result from this thread shows that when the evaporation surface is the...

    Micra fuel tank leak

    To evaporate, a substance must be highly energetic or it will never lift off. To prevent lift off, you must use a container that can resist the lift off pressure. It can be hard for you to understand if you never did your o'level physics. See this for a visualisation of the process:

    Rubbish and proven wrong by this thread. AI Overview Learn more Gasoline evaporates relatively quickly, often within hours, with the rate influenced by factors like temperature, exposure area, and the type of gasoline blend. Here's a more detailed explanation: Volatility: Gasoline is a...

    Micra fuel tank leak

    The micra owner confirmed being unaware of the requirement to click the fuel cap. So, the most probable cause of the lost petrol was user error. Although, an air leak caused by light corrosion remain possible.

    AC DC Adaptor fail

    I finally got round to do some analysis on the small 5W and 8W solar panels I have been using for tendering car batteries. The conclusions is they are more or less useless. Unless facing the sun directly, the power output drops to next to nothing. At mid-day, with the sun at an angle to the...

    Micra fuel tank leak

    Yes. But those things were sorted and there were no more worries. No need to talk about oil when I am on life time oil. No need to talk about jacking when the mot guy said my car was perfect in Dec, etc.

    Some of it went into my bucket after scrubbing. Some of it probably rained down on your large lawn.
