The main function of the hatch cover is the sealing of the fuel tank. This prevents gasoline leakage, fuel pollution with dust and humidity, as well as evaporation of gasoline vapor.

Therefore, a high -quality cover is a contribution to the ecology and your own security. In addition, the tightness of the lid affects the accuracy of the sensor of the fuel level sensor. A leap cover can lead to incorrect indications, creating unnecessary anxiety.
### signs of malfunctions and their consequences
You can understand that something is wrong with the hatch cover by several signs. For example, if when twisting, you feel the failure or hear a characteristic click that indicates incomplete sealing. The smell of gasoline from under the lid is another alarming signal. Do not ignore these signs! A leap cover can lead to a fuel leak, which is dangerous both for the environment and for yourself. In addition, leakage can cause unstable engine operation and increased fuel consumption.
### replacement and care
Luke’s lid replacement is usually a simple procedure. In most cases, it is enough to unscrew the old one and tighten the new cover. However, before buying a new one, make sure that it is suitable for your car model. Simple lid care consists in periodic cleaning of dirt and dust. Avoid severe blows and damage. A simple check of tightness of the cover before each dressing will take only a few seconds, but can prevent serious problems in the future. An attentive attitude to this seemingly insignificant detail guarantees calm and safety on the road.
