Fuel, Fuel tanks and Oil tanks.
Energic initially with the B, B4, Les modèles B5 et C7 B4L utilisaient un réservoir de carburant doté d'un couvercle à vis extérieur surélevé (which was welded into place). Cela nécessitait une goupille trouée (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. Il est réparable et illustre la lèvre extérieure de la vis surélevée.
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 qui était nécessaire pour se séparer, lubrifier les valves latérales (inlet and exhaust ports). Aujourd'hui, nous devrions ajouter un supplément de plomb additif au carburant pour aider dans cette tâche essentielle. Some people add a very small amount of 2 stroke oil to the petrol as well. Cela réduit légèrement le rendement de la combustion mais permettrait de lubrifier les soupapes des moteurs.
