It is a known fact that in the 1970's all cars were equipped with fuel tanks made out of metal. Nowadays most cars which are registered over Europe come with a plastic fuel tank. It is safe to say that they are superior to old fuel tanks for a number of reasons: corrosion, light weight and the ability to shape in differently, adapting to the car. As technology evolves we observe that car parts become smaller in dimension. This implicitly means that a modern fuel tank will have to adapt in dimensions and form. Economically speaking they are less costly than the classical metal fuel tank.

Diesel fuel is a combination of 3 major classes of hydrocarbons.The three classes have different properties. Different proportions in these chemical combinations will produce different types of fuel, and their performance will be affected accordingly.The substances and particles that affect diesel fuel the most are fall into 3 major categories:

• 1. Water
• 2. Rust, dust, sand etc.
• 3. Debris coming from asphalt, tar and even wax

The third category is the kind of debris is the kind of debris that is found in diesel fuel most commonly and will compromise the quality of the fuel. Not only that but they will clog up the car's filters. Optimal fuel means optimal engine function. A diesel engine uses only some of the fuel it pulls from the tank. All of that fuel goes to the high-pressure fuel pump and to the injectors operating under enormous pressure and high temperatures. Optimal engine function means optimal car functionality at the core, considering that a diesel engine will only use a small quantity of the fuel from the tank. The rest is being pulled in towards the good functionality of the injectors and high pressure pump.

The fuel that is not consummated by the engine ends up back in the fuel tank. But because it has been under enormous pressure and heat (stress) it will create carbon deposits which can clog up your filters. The role of the filters is to protect from impurities and carbon deposits, however it cannot do this indefinitely. This is the main cause of engine failure. The quality of the fuel will affect the smooth running of the engine.

Well as demonstrated above plastic is the clear choice of specialists all over the world. So if your car is as old as 1970 (highly unlikely) maybe is time to reconsider.
