How petrol station works ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Learn Advance 3D animation - https://www.lifeada.com/courses/Beginners-to-Advance-3D-Animation-664c82fc4422350ae0f7cc6d ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHUByLzh_XbWd5-R9ZFJNCQ/join ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Video:- every time you stop your vehicle at a petrol station, the process looks simple. the cap opens, the nozzle goes inside the tank, and petrol starts flowing. but behind this normal refuelling process, a complete hidden engineering system is working underground, inside the dispenser, inside the nozzle, and even inside the vehicle’s fuel tank. petrol continuously creates invisible vapours, and these vapours can catch fire from a small static spark. this is why petrol stations use underground storage tanks, grounding, bonding, vapour recovery, pressure vacuum valves, flame arrestors, submersible pumps, emergency shear valves, and automatic nozzle cut-off systems. when petrol is transferred from a tanker into the underground tank, it is filled from the bottom to reduce vapour formation and static charge. vapour recovery hoses send petrol vapours back into the tanker instead of releasing them into the air. inside the dispenser, fuel passes through filters, air and vapour separators, and accurate flow meters before reaching the nozzle. the auto cut mechanism inside the nozzle uses a small hole, venturi effect, vacuum chamber, diaphragm, and shut-off valve to stop fuel automatically when the tank becomes full. the biggest hidden danger at petrol stations is static electricity. vehicle movement, clothes, seat friction, and body charge can create a spark near petrol vapours. modern vehicles also use onboard vapour recovery systems and activated carbon canisters to control fuel vapours, reduce wastage, and improve safety. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- topic covered in this video:- underground petrol storage tank design tanker unloading process petrol vapour recovery system pressure vacuum valve and flame arrestor fuel dispenser filter, separator, and meter petrol nozzle auto cut mechanism venturi effect inside petrol nozzle emergency shear valve at petrol dispenser ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reference video:- oil refinery - https://youtu.be/Vvv6RrLR-ns how crude oil extracted - https://youtu.be/2dkq1gdiNoY oil tanker working - https://youtu.be/RZVRoH-IIvM petrol nozzle working - https://youtu.be/zs78A7_Kv-s ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contact me:- X(Twitter) - https://x.com/hr_harish2 Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/LifeAda2.0 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/life_ada2.0/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Me -: Name - Harish Qualification : Electrical & Computer Engineer ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your learning tells your quality, improve your learning with LifeAda your quality will definitely improve.
