How to properly use a transfer crane (pistol) on gas station?

Today we will touch on such a seemingly simple and clear theme as "how to use it right?". It seems to be, everything is simple: I took it inserted, I pressed and drove to fight our endless Russia. However, in everything there is their own nuances, and this situation is no exception.

It is clear that this article will hardly help experienced drivers, but it is not oriented to you (no offense;)) Well, everyone knows that in order to get to the topic of our article, you must first get the driver's license to driving school. But, not in every driving school they tell, trite, about how to use a refueling pistol. Therefore, in a person unprepared to such a situation, difficulties may arise when refueling. And this is at best. In the worst, there may be dangerous situations that threaten the lives and health of people. To avoid this, you need to follow simple safety rules.

Let's start with the order of refueling on the gas station:

Oddly it sounds, it sounds, but first remember, which side is your benzobac. It is necessary that you can drive up to the benzocolone with the right side. A little more difficult for owners of cars, who have a gas tank on the left. The fact is that not all refills are adapted to such cars, since their (cars) is quite small. If you ask the owner of such a car, as it is refilled, then there is a high probability that you will hear such an answer: "How-like? I take and pull to the gas tank. " Yeah, through the whole car ... The fact is that this is a serious violation of safety regulations. Well, oh well, about it later. And now, back to the order of refueling.

Procedure after you arrived at the column, such:

• Wasting Machine
• Open the gas tank cover, unscrew the protective plug
• Gently insert a filling gun in a benzobac
• We call the type of refueling and the volume of fuel to an employee of a gas station
• Indicate the speaker number
• We pay off (yes, yes, how did you think?)
• Press the trigger on and keep it until the end of the process
• We let goat
• We take out, while we turn up the neck
• Returning a gun in place
• Tighten the cork and close the tank cover

That's all. By the way, I will not be superfluous and knowledge of the safety rules, being on a gas station.

• Smoking is strictly prohibited in the gas station
• It is necessary to land passengers before the refueling process.
• Necessarily wasting motor before refueling
• Motorcycles must be drowning and run at a distance, more than 15 meters from gas station
• Do not remove the gun until the end of the fuel supply to the tank
• If this, nevertheless, it happened, it is necessary to wash all polluted fuel, the surface before starting the engine
• Distance between cars must exceed 3 meters
• On the territory of the gas station it is prohibited to produce repair work
• It is impossible to use gas stations in a thunderstorm

Despite the simplicity of these rules, they often neglect drivers. And not only newcomers.

Let us turn to the work of the radiation crane itself. Many wonder: "How does a gun" understands ", what time to stop work?" But this question concerns the filling of full tank. In case of incomplete refueling, solves the program, and not the mechanism of the pistol.

The principle of his work is quite simple:

• If you look at the device in the context, you can see that in addition to the main valve, which opens with the help lever, there is another, very thin additional channel. This valve works in a pair with the so-called. The membrane that reacts to the press on the trigger, and begins to suck the air from the gas tank.
• In other words, "settle" when pressed on the lever. And by itself, while the air is "sucking" with a thin valve, it keeps in such a state.
• But only the tip of the nose of the pistol is descended, into the fuel, the flow of air, naturally stops. Then the membrane changes its location in the opposite direction, thus closing the main valve.
• Thanks to this thin valve with a ball and membrane, the gun does not shoot. In the opposite case, if the operation of the passage is broken through which the air from the gas tank is absorbed, the pistol itself breaks, starts shooting, knock out.
• At this moment, a certain click is heard, which characterizes the closing of the valve. And the work is completed.

Go to the lid of the gas tank. How to open it?

The gas tank cover performs a number of important functions, among which: blocking air and foreign objects, blocks the effects of aggressive evaporation, etc.

The lids for gas tanks are different types:

• Covers that perform protection from external factors
• Covers with valves
• With valves and locks

Depending on the brand of the car, we, or open the cover manually, or press the button or on the lever. With a gas tank easier: most often, there is a pointer on the instrument panel, which side it is located.

There are problems with the opening of the lid, for example, frozen or broke the castle. In such a situation, the best solution is to contact the service. But, in the most extreme case, you can pose a lid something thin.

If the problems arose with a plug, then it can, or disassemble it, or break, but this is not recommended to do this, for obvious reasons. In any case, if there are problems with the opening of the tank, it is better to refuel in advance and go to the car service without delay.

Now go to the pistol.

The first thing that the motorist should know is how to handle a gun. After all, with the use of the subject, large problems may arise. The main thing is to correctly handle this tool, and do not hire a car, if it happened, it is worth getting rid of this problem right away.

Here, everything is very easy and not to be afraid. Quietly insert the gun into the tank, first open it, press the trigger, and then on the fuse. The gun is to hold (just in case) and hold the trigger itself. If you decide to pour a full tank, you pay for the service after the end of refueling, if it is not a complete board on the column, you will tell you how much the amount of fuel is spent.

Sometimes drivers happen problems with the lever, or rather the breakdown. No matter how hard they try, the fuel does not come. The decision is one thing - to consult an employee of a gas station as soon as possible! And he will definitely tell you what to do in this situation.

At the end, after refueling the car, you need to remove the pistol with the neck to the top, because You can spat the gasoline drops your cars, which contributes to the deterioration of paint integrity. And also, according to the rules of fire safety, this is the only right option.

It happens for some reason, the gun knocks at refueling. To begin with, we'll figure it out for reason.

The problem may be either in the gun or in the tank. It is recommended to try to refuel on multiple columns or refills. Maybe specifically, the pistols of one company did not come to you. If the problem did not dare to change the refueling, then the case is in the tank.

There are situations where the work of the tank ventilation is broken, in this case, pressure when refueling has nowhere to go out. In a good way, you need to remove the tank and all the dumping tubes, of course, to contact the specialists. The reasons are quite banal, just clogging the part. An empty tank can serve as an empty tank, in which case, it is recommended to refuel, holding the filling gun horizontally.

In winter, the adsorber ventilation tube may suffer (vapor trap from the tank), can freeze or clog out. The item is directly near the refueling filter, you can try to blow it or clean it.

Problems with a pistol at refueling are quite rare. And often, the problem with the breakdown of the vacuum canal, which sucks the air from the tank. If there is such a violation, then the air is trying to enter through the main channel, and prevents the refueling process, repelled the gun.

Alling can give contamination of the protective grid in the neck of the pistol. Also, it is worth remembering that the gun needs to be inserted to the end, and keep it until the end of the refueling.

How to refuel on automatic refueling?

• The order of execution of the refueling is simple:
• Parked near the column from the gas tank side
• Motor drowned
• Open the lid and tube of tank, insert a gun
• Go to the terminal, specify the speaker number, quantity and type of fuel.
• Pay service (perhaps even a map)
• Pressed on the pistol tper and the fuse, while the valve opens, you need to hold it open until the refueling is completed
• Remove the gun, put in place
• Close Buck

The question occurs when the full tank is refueling. If on the usual gas stations, in case you pay more, you simply give out. How it happens on automatic stations, because the cashier is missing?

Everything is very simple. After refueling the terminal issues a check indicating the volume of fuel and the tools spent. If the amount remains (delivery) it can be used at subsequent refueling services at stations of this type. The program creates a barcode to provide the next time.

There are also gas refills. How to refuel at gas gas stations?

Gas refills, despite, but the latest equipment are sufficiently dangerous, as the gas is very easily flamped. Caution and care, first of all! Unfortunately, not everyone adheres to mandatory rules, provided for by refueling such a dangerous fuel.

To begin with, it is worth disassembling, which cannot be done at refueling of this type:

• Primary, but still, it is not necessary to use open fire, or, smoking. I think the explanation is necessary, because It is logical than the compound of gas and fire - an explosion explosion explosion
• Fill the machine with a running engine
• Take care of the health of cylinders, valves, waving. Check if there are no leaks
• Start the process, you need only with the permission of the AGZS operator
• The gun is also worth checking, whether it costs correctly

Of course, refilled independently, it is categorically impossible. At a minimum, can write a fine. An employee can even dismiss. But there are crying cases in which you are forced to lead the process yourself. The order of execution of refueling to AGZS:

• Parked near the desired column and stop the motor
• Carefully inspect all the details of HBO for service
• Connect the lump (outlet device), if it is provided for by the car design
• Install the gun
• Turn on the gas supply, and remember that more laid in the tank do not fit, so you should not try to pour over the norm. Only the place in the cylinder ends, the AGZS stops feeding the fuel, it can be seen by stopping the numbers. If you need less than a complete tank, you can stop the refueling process yourself.
• It remains only to disconnect the gun and adapter (if any)

That's all right.

This is such a thing today it turned out. Friends, follow the rules and all you will be fine 🙂 All quick refueling and low fuel prices 🙂 with you there was a team of site specialists. ALL !!!

About how the modern gas station is planned, not all car enthusiasts are conceived. But in order for the fuel to fall into the car tank, it should go through a rather complicated way along the gas stations that the most modern technologies are now used.

At petrol stations, fuel falls in different ways, the fuel can bring with the help of railway composition, and can be delivered to the destination using the pipeline, but it is most often brought to separate stations using conventional fuel trucks.

Modern fuel trucks, as a rule, have several internal sections, so they bring several types of fuel at once. From a section of 10,900 liters, the fuel will merge about half an hour. All this time, the refueling fuel will be prohibited for safety and more accurate subsequent reporting in the volume of fuel.

Before fuel merges into underground storages, it takes control. First of all, documents on fuel are checked, the filling on the tank is revealed, the level of its completion is checked, and the fuel analysis is taken. New fuel checked on density, roughly speaking, it should not be diluted with water intentionally or by chance due to rainwater, condensate, etc.

After checking the fuel using the drain pipe, it is connected to the tank and the fuel drop begins.

Tolerance

Tanks for fuel can be ground or underground. They are made of steel and most often make two-layers for safety. Typically, the fuel storage containers do not exceed 50 cubic meters, but there are capacity capacity of more than 200 cubic meters, such storages are considered already mini-tank farms to which their requirements apply.

The level of fuel in the tank itself is measured by the tank. Measurement of the fuel level is carried out not only during fuel plum, but also when operators replacing.

1. Receiver valve. It does not give fuel to merge from pipelines and all equipment back to the tank. Without a valve, the pump would have to fully fill the entire system from the tank to the filling gun, and this is an extra cost of electricity and time.

2. Filter. Another filter element on the gas station, it can be installed immediately after the receiving valve or in the gas separator (5). If the filter is clogged, then the rumble is heard when refilling, as the pump has to work with great effort.

3 and 4. Engine and pump. They work in a pair, are contented, as a rule, belt transmission, but there are also such structures where the pump and the engine are sitting on the same shaft. The belt transmission is more secure, as it is protected from elevated engine loads.

5. Gas separator. In accordance with the title, separates extra gases from fuel, which in a calm state are in suspension, and with active stirring of fuel, they are combined and begin to create a foam. The gas separator device is extremely simple - this is a small tank in which the fuel is lingering for a while, and extra gases are freely leaving drainage holes on top.

6. Electromagnetic valve. Opened when fuel supply and closes immediately, after the fuel injection stops. If this valve is broken, it may simply block the entire system or not close it, in the latter case, even after turning off the pump, the fuel will enter the distribution gun on the inertia. With an inclusive electromagnetic valve, the TRC refills about 0.2-0.5 liters of extra fuel.

7. Fluid meter. It may be called in different ways, for example, the fuel measuring, the fluid meter, etc., but the function of it is one - accurately measured the amount of fuel. Tank meters can be electronic or mechanical. In the first case, the accuracy setting is carried out using special commands, in the second case with the help of adjusting bolts.

8. Viewing window. It is a hollow flask with glass. If the flask is filled with fuel, then the receiving valve works and the fuel remains in the system after disconnecting the pump.

It may be called in different ways, designed to control the fuel supply to the neck of the tank, also cuts off the fuel supply when the tank is overflowing.

10, 11, 12. Management system. The system combines the TRC and the operator control panel.

Read more about the refueling gun

The gun of the gun for refueling is not such a simple, as it seems at first glance. In addition to the fuel supply function, inside there is a fuel cutting system when the tank is overflowing.

How this system works can be viewed on the video that is above. With a normal supply of fuel through a small tube and a jaw in the gun enters the air. As soon as the fuel comes to the level of the fuel tube, the fuel and air pressure in the protection system falls sharply, the membrane reacts to it and the cut-off spring is triggered, the fuel supply stops. When the protection system is triggered, the fuel will not be supplied until the gun lever will not be "crushed" again.

The exception is except the unusual scheme with the top location of the TRC. But such schemes are used extremely rare, primarily due to the shortage of such equipment and certain difficulties with its maintenance. There is no special benefit from this location of the TRC, except that cars can be accommodated a little more tightly, and the TRC itself cannot be hurting the car.

In 1888, gasoline began selling in pharmacies.

In 1907, the first gas station opened in the USA, it was a warehouse with gasoline cans. Later, the stations with one large reservoir began to appear, from which the fuel was signed by Self.

In Russia, the first gas station opened in 1911 by the Imperial Automobile Society.

Modern gas stations are not limited to selling only fuel. Many have small stores with related goods, products, there are cafes, washing, etc. The development of gas stations in the United States, where the gas station is only part of the complex includes parking lots for heavy trucks, leisure and leisure centers, shops, cafes and more.

In Russia, more than 25,000 automotive gas stations, approximately 600 of them are within the Moscow Ring Road. In the US, more than 120,000 gas stations, in Canada approximately 14,000, and in the UK there are more than 9,000, despite the fact that in the 90s there were more than 18,000.

Types of fuel dispensers

As we promised in previous posts, today we will discuss the device of a transfer gun, its features and possible varieties. And also on how this device allows you to accurately dispense fuel, automatically measuring the desired "dose" without the possibility of any external reconfiguration.

Distribution or filling gun - equipment for dosing / issuing fuel used on gas stake.

Benefits:

• easy and safe to use;
• suitable for use at any temperature and humidity;
• guarantees a stable supply of gasoline / diesel.
• all elements of the pistol, "contacting" with the working medium are made of corrosion-resistant materials and aggressive chemical "attacks".

Device of fuel dispense

At first glance, the gun of the gun for refueling may seem simple, almost primitive. However, it is not. Its main function is the supply of fuel, but in addition, inside the possibility of cutting off the supply of gasoline / diesel engine when the tank is overflowing.

How it works? With the usual supply of fuel through a small tube and a jaw in the gun amuses air. As soon as the fuel reaches the level of the fuel tube and falls into the fatter, the air pressure drops sharply, the membrane instantly "reacts" - and the cut-off spring is triggered, stopping the flow of gasoline / diesel. You can resume the feed, only by pressing the gun lever.

Fuel dispenser design

The fuel disposable gun consists of:

• hull;
• refueling;
• swivel compound for the hose;
• arms with a lever;
• thermal insulation;
• gibler;
• membranes;
• ball valve (stops distribution when falling, there is not everywhere).

Additional regulators:

• the rotating clutch (does not allow the hose overlapping);
• spiral wire (for reliable fixation of the nozzle in the tank neck).

Types of filling pistols

According to the functionality:

• automatic with a cut-off, triggered when the tank filled;
• without cut-off in the form of a handouting crane;
• with built-in fuel metering counter.

The latter is convenient to apply along with the fuel pump to know the flow rate of petroleum products. And the first is the main option to work on the gas station.

Choosing a fuel dispenser (gun), please note: it will work with the pump. In principle: the bandwidth of the gun must correspond to (or exceed) pump performance. The bandwidth of pistols is also important (on average from 20 to 290 liters / min) to this property of the fuel dispenser affects its size.

By type of petroleum products supplied:

• for diesel fuel;
• for gasoline;
• for oil.

How pistols are connected to fuel hoses

There are two ways to "docking":

• with the help of fitting (simple and economical, but with low wear resistance);
• through the fitting, a special "adapter" (a stronger compound, optimal for operation in conditions of increased pressure and additional loads).

Most fuel dispensers are divided into two criteria:

1. Method of shutdown: automatic (with a "Cut-off" device) and mechanical (disabled manually).
2. The presence of a flow meter. The total number indicator cannot be reset, it indicates the exact amount of the last feed, allowing you to precisely measure the fuel as precisely as possible without possible errors.

On all network gas stations "Snake Gorynych" installed fuel dispensers, allowing the fuel leave as accurately as possible, quickly and efficiently.

We continue a series of publications prepared by an interactive scientific-popular blog "I will explain in two minutes." The blog talks about ordinary and complex things that surround us every day and do not cause any questions exactly until we think about them. For example, there you can find out what size is actually a rainbow or how the tornadoes are formed.

1. Paras of gasoline are explosive, and in the filling neck of the car, their concentration is maximum. In this environment, the electrical sensor would be short enough, so the fuse of the refueling gun works on clean mechanics.

2. Pushing to the lever, we pushing up the valve stem (blue), opening the way to Baku gasoline. Please note that the lever axis is attached to the fuse rod (green)

3. Gasoline leaks through a narrow ring. In the area of \u200b\u200bnarrowing, the flow rate increases, and the pressure in the liquid drops is a consequence of the effect of Venturi. The device itself is called the Ring of Venturi, and there are holes in it communicating with the air chamber (green). The fluid flow creates a vacuum in the air chamber. The effect of Venturi is also used in spray guns, airbrush and carburetors.

4. The power of the refueling pistol has a small hole. It is also connected to the air chamber. The Wenturi ring pumped out air from the chamber, but its stock is immediately replenished with atmospheric air through the opening-sensor, so the vacuum in the chamber is not created.

5. As soon as the level of fuel in the tank rises above the sensor hole, the inflow of atmospheric air into the chamber is stopped. The resulting vacuum draws a membrane that pushes down the fuse rod.

6. With a characteristic rush, the base of the lever is distinguished from the bar of the shut-off valve, and the flow of fuel is overlapped.

You can see the interactive version of the scheme in the blog "I will explain in two minutes."

The fuel supply of the car, at first glance, seems like a simple and elementary process, however, at novice drivers who first sat down behind the wheel, even this easy task can cause difficulties. First of all, it is necessary to learn how to correctly determine the moment when the time has come to go to the refueling station.

This is necessary in the following cases:

1. In the car's tank, less than 10 liters of fuel remained, which will inform the indicator of its level. In this case, the arrow should be in the red zone, and the digits will flash on the dashboard, the displayed distance in kilometers, which will be able to drive without refueling.
2. The upcoming far distance on an unfamiliar area, which does not allow to evaluate where the nearest refueling station will be located.

Choosing refueling and fuel

Learn the gasoline brand, which is suitable for a particular car, in the following ways:

1. Get information from the instructions for the vehicle.
2. View marking located near the gas tank cover.
3. Refine information in the car service.

Below is a list of gas stations, which have proven themselves from the positive side and consistently confirm the high quality of the fuel sold:

1. Rosneft company Owns the largest refueling network in Russia, where you can buy gasoline, diesel, oil and gas fuel. All varieties have high quality indicators, as evidenced by positive feedback from car owners.
2. FAETON AERO company It is implemented by the implementation of high quality fuel obtained from European suppliers.
3. Company "LUKOIL" Known to each car owner, most drivers mark a high level of fuel and service.
4. Company "Trash" Opened its network of gas stations relatively recently, but has already managed to establish itself from a positive side and is popular with many car owners.
5. Company "Magistral" Successfully combines the price availability of fuel and high performance of its quality.

To reduce the risks of refueling your car with low-quality gasoline, it is recommended to avoid visiting the following gas stations:

1. Filling stations with highly lowered rates, which should alert an experienced driver.
2. No brand name.
3. The words "luxury" or "premium", ascribed to the fuel brand, as they are only an advertising move.

Rules refueling machine with refill

The exercise of refueling with the help of the refueling is fairly easy, since it is required by the bus owner.

Their sequence is described below:

1. It must be remembered from which side of the vehicle is the benzobac and park around the benzokolone in such a way that it is with her at the same level.
2. After stopping the machine, drowned the engine and put it on the handbrake.
3. The opening of the gas tank is carried out by pressing a special button or turning the lever, which most brands of machines are located under the driver's seat. At old cars, this process is done manually, so it will be necessary to exit the cabin and unsubscribe the roof.
4. The refueling must be informed by the gasoline brand, which is planned to fill, as well as its volume. All other actions he is made independently.
5. While the employee is engaged in refueling the car, you can pay gasoline, Cashier is usually located near or inside the store.
6. After payment, you can return to the car and check the benzocolone scoreboard on which information should be indicated regarding the number of paid fuel liters and the total amount.
7. Departure from the territory of refueling is carried out after the employee describes the completion of the procedure.
8. Leave the gas station is needed through a special departure, moving at minimal speed. Before departure to the track, you should not forget to include the appropriate rotation indicator. If necessary, make additional purchases in the store the car must be left in the place specifically allocated for this.

The fuel indicator will start showing changes not instantly, but only some time after the start of the movement.

Step-by-step instructions for self-gas station on gas station

In some gas stations, there are no employees who help with the car refueling, in this case all actions will have to be carried out independently.

A detailed algorithm of action is given below:

1. Wait for your turn and correctly parked near the benzokolontics, as described in the previous case.
2. Do not forget to drown out the engine and put the car on the handbrake, after which you open the gas tank cover and unscrew the cork.
3. The filling gun needs to be removed from the column and gently insert into the tank.
4. Press the lever located on the filling gun, after which it is fixed by its position with a special "doggy".
5. Close the car and pay at the checkout the desired volume and fuel brand.
6. On the column board, you can see the number of liters and the total amount, the fuel supply will be completed automatically when the required volume is covered in the tank.
7. After completing the fill, it is necessary to press the lever of the gun again, which will allow you to sweep it from the "dog".
8. The filling gun returns to his place, to do it as much as possible, as small fuel residues can be found out of it.

Car refueling gas system

In recent years, more and more car owners refill their vehicles of gases, since this practice has the following advantages:

1. Financial Savings: Gas costs almost 2 times cheaper than the budget brand itself of gasoline.
2. Extension of the engine operational time, as the load on the fuel system of the machine decreases.
3. Reducing oil pollution, resulting in less often need replacement.
4. Environmental purity of gas fuel, the volume of harmful emissions into the environment is reduced by more than 2 times.
5. Saving the possibility of refueling with standard fuel.
6. High security, if the installation of the system will carry out a qualified specialist.
7. An increase in comfort during a ride, since the use of gas eliminates the explosions of fuel particles occurring in the combustion system.

Despite such a large number of positive parties, there are also certain disadvantages in such a way:

1. Additional spending on the installation of a gas system that will justify themselves only in case of frequent or long-distance trips.
2. Lack of refueling on some gas stations.
3. Reducing the vehicle power by 10%, which leads to a decrease in the speed of overclocking and the maximum movement speed.
4. Increasing the air filter change frequency.
5. The impossibility of using the gas system at low temperature modes, as well as the need for extremely cautious operation during the heat.
6. The need to isolate a sufficiently large number of space in the trunk for installing the system.
7. An increase in vehicle mass is about 60 kg.
8. The risk of leakage of gas and its explosion, if the system has been established without compliance with technology.

Gas gas supply for gas stations is carried out in accordance with the following instruction:

1. Initially, it is necessary to make sure that there are no mechanical damage to the cylinder, malfunctions of its reinforcement and distortion of individual elements.
2. After entering the filling station, the driver and all passengers must leave the vehicle, before that you need to turn off the engine and put the car on the handbrake.
3. The driver must provide an AZS employee full access to the gas cylinder, removing all the protective elements.
4. The adapter is installed if the refueling is not possible.
5. All other actions make a gas station employee, the driver is strictly forbidden to independently connect the filling sleeve, as well as perform any actions with a column.
6. Fuel payment is carried out at the box office. It is allowed to start moving, just after making sure that the filling sleeve was disconnected, and the plug was supplied to the device.
