Fuel, Fuel tanks and Oil tanks.
Energic initially with the B, B4, B5 en C7 B4L-modellen gebruikten een brandstoftank met een hoge, verhoogde buitenste schroefdop (which was welded into place). Hiervoor was een speld nodig (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. Het is te repareren en illustreert de hoge verhoogde buitenlip van de schroef.
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 die nodig was om te scheiden, smeer de zijkleppen (inlet and exhaust ports). Vandaag zouden we een additief loodsupplement aan de brandstof moeten toevoegen om te helpen bij deze essentiële taak. Some people add a very small amount of 2 stroke oil to the petrol as well. Dit vermindert de efficiëntie van de verbranding enigszins, maar zou helpen om de motorkleppen te smeren.
