Fuel, Fuel tanks and Oil tanks

Fuel, Fuel tanks and Oil tanks.

Energic initially with the B, B4, Los modelos B5 y C7 B4L usaban un tanque de combustible que tenía una tapa roscada exterior elevada (which was welded into place). Esto requirió un alfiler perforado (air breather) heavy cast aluminium screw lid, with grip edges. This tank was just for petrol and had a capacity of 7 litres.

This fuel tank is typical of the early types fitted. Es reparable e ilustra el labio exterior del tornillo elevado..

Many early tanks suffered from extensive rust where the securing band, holding the fuel tank to the supports touched the tank. Just a matter of time with the rubbing of the two vibrating surfaces, with the motoculteur in operation, till the galvanized surface was susceptible to rust intrusion from abrasion.

The Energic motoculteurs C7 and D9, using the S bloc moteurs, used a galvanized fuel tank of 9 litres, with a separate oil tank return reservoir in front of approx. 4 litres. This constant circulating system was pressurized by the crankcase compression and controlled by a float system.

Fuel 98 octane min, with additional lead content que fue requerido para separarse, lubricar las válvulas laterales (inlet and exhaust ports). Hoy deberíamos agregar un suplemento de plomo aditivo al combustible para ayudar en esta tarea esencial.. Some people add a very small amount of 2 stroke oil to the petrol as well. Esto reduce ligeramente la eficiencia de la combustión pero ayudaría a lubricar las válvulas del motor..
