Where is the petrol filter on an opel corsa ecotec?

It all depends on what corsa it is, my opel corsa 1997 1.3i Lite's filter is situated inside the petrol tank, you can get to it by lifting up the back seat and opening tha black round cap. I have a corsa c sxi 2001. I will be changing the petrol filter at the weekend. It is situated under the car beside the petrol tank near the back. Make sure you depresurise the tank before taking the old one off or you will have petrol all over. Leave for 20mins with key out the egnition and relese petrol cap then put it back on and start work. Have rags and paper ready for spillage. Hope this helps I have a Corsa c 2001 and i am in the prossess of changing the petrol filter.

Why we can't use petrol for drink?

Petrol has been added chemicals that will make you vomit, because it is poisonous. Many people develop a rash being exposed to petrol and petroleum products. In "clean" form, you will not die from a mouthful, just be confined to the bathroom the rest of the day. We make substances for specific use, like soft drinks are made for drinking, petrol is made to power engines. There are lots of substances ready at hand to try, like washing detergents, air fuel, chloride and water. When we use a substance in a way tat we know it is not intended to be used it just exhibits ignorance. If you die from drinking petrol, its because you puke your head off. Most of us that have boats with petrol engines need to empty the tanks now and then, and have to start by sucking air out of a hose until it reaches the pump, and and up with a mouthful of it every now and then. It tastes awful but so far, I have not died.


Why are fire buckets round on the bottom?

They are often round on the bottom so they cannot be "put down." The reasoning behind this is that if the bucket can't be put down, it's useless for any other purpose other than hanging on a hook with water/sand, so when an emergency happens it'll always be ready.
