Car Hints on Fuel Problems and Air Locks
Petrol may fail to reach the carburettor due to air or vapour locks. Air locks form after emptying the tank and refilling, or when the feed pipe sits near hot engine parts. Cure by blowing into the filler, remove the pipe from heat, and ensure the filler vent is clear to prevent gravity feed air locks.
Gearbox Leakage and Air Pressure Release
The text explains that thick oils in gearboxes raise internal pressure, pushing lubricant out around rotating shafts. Drilling a lid hole with a ball release valve can vent air while preventing reverse intake. Worn felt glands may fail to retain lubricant and can be cheaply replaced.
