Some military aircraft have the ability to connect to a tanker and have fuel pumped into them. Usually it is done through a long and controllable 'boom' that meets a receptacle in the receiver aircraft. Some other aircraft have 'probes' that the fighter pilot inserts in a towed fuel line ending in a funnel. In both cases the fuel supply line remains shut until the receiver nozzle is locked in .

Is it beneficial to fill up a gas tank when it is half?

It is beneficial to fill your tank once it gets to 1/4 full. There are two reasons for this. Air contains moisture the more air in the fuel tank the more moisture in the fuel tank. Secondly the fuel pump uses the fuel to help cool itself. The less fuel the more chance the fuel pump will overheat which will shorten it's life.


Adjust the air fuel mixture 1991 suburban?

Don't think you can if it is fuel injected. Get a couple of cans of fuel injector cleaner from AutoZone and put them into the tank one can (bottle) at a time when you fill up the tank.

Restart after fuel tank is empty?

Fill it with fuel and crank away, it may take a bit to expel all the air or you can speed up the process by turning the ignition to on so the fuel pump starts and use the schrader valve on the fuel rail to get rid of the air.


Over filling gas tank?

Gas tanks are designed so that when the filling station pump detects a full tank, and cuts-off automatically, there is still an air space at the top of the tank. This is to allow for expansion of the fuel due to temperature changes. Therefore do not trickle fill, or use any other technique, to get the maximum amount of fuel into tank. If you are successful in eliminating the air space you could create a leak. ie. Fill with cold fuel, then drive to a parking lot in full sunshine - the fuel will expand and force its way out through tank vent or some other place.


Do you get better gas mileage if you fill up the tank?

Theoretically yes. The reason is that with less space in the top of the tank, there is less room for evaporation of the fuel in the tank, so you have less fuel turning to vapor in the tank. At least that is the theory. No, the amount of fuel in the tank has almost no effect on fuel mileage. If anything the more fuel you are carrying around the more weight you are carrying around which will actually lower fuel mileage. Gasoline weighs about 8 pounds per gallon. But that little bit of extra weight is really meaningless. As to evaporation it is not a factor as the fuel system is sealed and any evaporation is miniscule. It is beneficial to fill your tank once it gets to 1/4 full. There are two reasons for this. Air contains moisture the more air in the fuel tank the more moisture in the fuel tank. Secondly the fuel pump uses the fuel to help cool itself. The less fuel the more chance the fuel pump will overheat which will shorten it's life.

Is HPA air tank rechargeable?

Yes! The purpose of an Air tank is so that you can refill it. Almost any Paintball Field or store can fill your tank.


Why does air come out the gas tank?

Air comes out of the gas tank due to the need for ventilation and pressure regulation within the fuel system. When fuel is drawn from the tank, it creates a vacuum that must be balanced by allowing air to enter, preventing a collapse of the tank and ensuring proper fuel flow. Additionally, when filling a tank, air is displaced by the incoming fuel, which can also lead to air escaping from the filler neck. Proper venting is crucial for the efficient operation of the fuel system.


What makes fuel tank collapse?

Clogged fuel tank vent. As the fuel is removed air must enter the tank or it will collapse. Can be nothing more than a defective fuel cap.
