Self-repair and replacement of the fuel tank of VAZ 2108/09/14/15 cars

Today, friends, I will share with you some Lifehack)There will be only one picture, I think it will be clear to everyoneBackground:When I bought a BU 2114, its gas tank flap was broken... that is, it did not close, but dangled like snot... when removing it, it turned out that a mustache had broken off which was responsible for attracting and holding the lid in the closed position... I didn’t want to look for a new lid, or repaint it later either)
LifeHack was invented


A powerful magnet was uprooted from the computer's Hard Drive , the magnet was stuck to the lid with double-sided tape. Next, I unscrewed the rubber band from the body, found a bolt the size of the bolt, screwed it in there, screwed it in like a native one, you can adjust the lid closing protrusion.
One of the first advantages is that the operation of the lid has been restored

The second plus is that it
stopped rattling (on the 2109 there was such a rattling noise, you unscrew the rubber band and the lid sticks out a lot) And the third plus is that the lid is pulled so tightly that you might think that the hatch is somehow closed from the inside! That is, I make a lot of effort to open it, night street trekkers on scooters (who are always draining gas, or trying to drain it) will be a little puzzled (although this has not been noticed in my area))))

Draining gasoline from a VAZ-2114 gas tank: all methods

Open the hatch, unscrew the lid and let's go!

Draining fuel from the tank of domestic cars is much easier than from a foreign-made vehicle. But draining gasoline from a VAZ-2114 car is also not an easy task. One way is to remove the tank from the car , but this will take more time and effort. But you can do it in an easy way.

Method without removing the tank

Draining gasoline from the gas tank

The process takes a little time, but you need some skill and the necessary tools. First you need to get a hose , the length of which will correspond, as well as a special container for gasoline. Next, you need a pump or some analogue or a regular home vacuum cleaner.

Once all the tools are at hand, you need to unscrew the tank cap and insert the hose there. It is recommended to check the fuel level in the tank. This can be done either with a regular stick, or by inserting the hose into the tank and then removing it, thereby checking what level the gasoline is at. We lower the hose as low as possible to remove all the fuel from the tank .

Insert the hose into the gas tank

After this, we attach the hose to the pump, or use a bulb. It is not recommended to suck in gasoline with your mouth; you can overdo it and “drink the fuel.”

Pumping gasoline into a canister

The hose should be in a bent state, resembling the English letter S, and turn on the pump, and then immediately turn it off, and direct the end of the hose into the container. This must be done sharply so that the incoming gasoline gets into the container prepared in advance.

The gasoline container must be clean and free of debris . As soon as the fuel begins to drain, this process becomes irreversible. Raise the tube higher to stop the fuel supply.

After this, the hose can be pulled out of the tank.

How to dry a gas tank completely?

If you need to completely dry the car tank, it is recommended to turn on the vehicle engine and let it run for a while, and then repeat the above steps again. If there is a mesh on the neck of the tank, then in this case one of the fuel line hoses is removed .

Lada Kalina

Removing the hatch from the gas tank on this model is quite problematic. It is fixed quite cleverly:

  • First, unscrew the nut securing the tank lid leash. To do this you will need a key for 7;
  • Next, the lid itself is pulled out;
  • Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew a pair of screws securing the hinge platform;
  • The platform is sealed. Before removing it, you will have to cut off the excess. After this, use a screwdriver to tear off the loop from the sealant. To avoid damaging the paint, wrap the screwdriver blade with electrical tape;
  • The next step is to raise the hatch slightly;
  • Before removal, you need to cover the end of the hatch and the body around it with masking tape. This will prevent damage to the paintwork. To remove it, you need to position the hatch at an angle of 30-40° and move the structure towards the rear bumper. This way, you can remove the hatch without any problems.

The hatch on Priora and Grant is removed in the same way.

BMW e34
. On this model, the hatch is secured with a hinge. The fastener is made in the form of a plastic frame with reed fasteners. In this case, 2 fastenings are located at the top and 1 at the bottom. First, use a screwdriver to press out the upper fasteners. After which the loop is removed from the car along with the hatch.

Skoda Octavia. On this car, the hatch can be removed extremely easily. First, unscrew the tank cap. To prevent any objects from getting into it, the filler neck is plugged with something. Next, use a screwdriver to press the seal away from the neck. Having freed it from the seal, simply pull out the entire hatch structure. Installation is performed in reverse order.

Kia Spectra. To carry out the work you will need a minimum number of tools, only 2 screwdrivers. One is spline and the other is cross. First, use a slotted screwdriver to remove the plug cable clamp. After that, use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the loop; it is secured with 2 screws.

Daewoo Lanos

. On this model, the hatch is secured with two screws. There shouldn't be any problems dismantling it. When reinstalling, the most difficult thing is to tighten the first screw.

Gas tank repair

Repairing a fuel tank is usually not very difficult. Much here depends on the nature of the damage and the skills of the car owner. Small holes in the case can simply be soldered, but large damage will require the use of a welding machine.

The tank itself does not always need welding or repair. On VAZ 2108/09/14/15 vehicles, the tank fastening elements or its components (for example, the neck or studs) often fail. Such malfunctions need to be eliminated urgently - the safety of fuel storage in the tank is largely determined by its fastening, position relative to the body axis and tightness.

The auto mechanic explained what the noise when opening the tank cap indicates, and how to fix it.

Many motorists may have heard a hissing sound when opening the fuel tank cap. Some of them try to fix the problem, but most attribute it to design features and forget about it. At the same time, a “zilch” may indicate the presence of a malfunction, which will progress over time and can cause expensive repairs. I consulted with a car mechanic I knew and found out the nature of the unusual sounds and how to eliminate them.

Hissing sounds when opening the gas tank are usually noticed by drivers at gas stations. Initially, they may be quite quiet, but over time they intensify and require attention from the car owner.

. The reason for this phenomenon is a vacuum inside the fuel tank. When pressure changes, air is sharply sucked in, which leads to characteristic sounds. This should not happen on a fully functional car.

Another characteristic symptom of a vacuum in the tank is changes in dynamics before and after refueling. Many drivers notice that after visiting a gas station, the car drives more energetically.

. Often such feelings have a real basis. In a discharged environment, the pump does not create the required pressure, especially at high speeds. After unscrewing the lid, the conditions return to normal, but over time they return to the incorrect state.

Installation location of the fuel tank VAZ 2114

On cars of the Lada line, the fuel location element is installed under the bottom of the car.

The location is not accidental; first of all, it is due to safety reasons (preventing deformation and ignition of fuel). The volume of the VAZ 2114 gas tank is 43 liters, which corresponds to approximately 550 - 560 kilometers with a normal, smooth driving style (without fast acceleration). The filler neck is located on the rear wing of the VAZ on the passenger side.

Common problems and their solutions

If we talk about the most important problems, “sores” that are inherent in fuel storage devices, the most common are the following: - fuel leaks; - the appearance of excess pressure inside.

Loss of gasoline can be caused by the following reasons:

  1. Formation of a crack due to corrosion or deformation of the metal.
  2. One of the fuel hoses is bent or damaged.
  3. Leakage of hoses as a result of weak tightening of clamps at the joints.

Excessive, excessive pressure in the gas tank can be caused by a combination of the following reasons:

  • high external temperatures;
  • situations when the plastic cap of the VAZ 2114 gas tank does not have a hole for the release of gasoline vapors;
  • poor functioning of the adsorber or its gas lines;
  • lack of normal removal of excess fuel vapors.

How to remove the gas tank on a Lada X Ray

Dismantling the unit is necessary for washing or repairing it. The process does not require deep knowledge or the presence of a highly specialized instrument, which makes it possible to perform the operation independently. The sequence of actions is as follows:

  1. Put the car on the lift.
  2. Release the pressure inside the pressure lines. To do this, you need to turn off the power to the fuel pump and start the engine until the fuel runs out (stops).
  3. Fold down the rear seats to access the pump.
  4. Disconnect the power supply from the battery and loosen the mounting bolts. Then you can remove the unit from the cylinder.
  5. Open the filler flap and unscrew the mounting flange screws (2 pieces in total).
  6. Remove the rear wheel.
  7. At the top under the arch, near the filler pipe, there is a body weight mount. You need to unscrew it with head No. 10 and disconnect the wire from the stud.
  8. Next we go down. 5 nuts and 1 bolt of the pipeline protective casing are unscrewed and the part is removed.
  9. Using a flat-head screwdriver and pliers, disconnect the fastening clips of the TB thermal protection fasteners.
  10. Remove the foil screen from the seat.
  11. Remove the exhaust system from the brackets and move it to the left side in the direction of travel of the car.
  12. Next, you need to disconnect the fuel supply and steam return pipes from the absorber. To do this, the latches are pressed in and the tubes are pulled off the fittings.
  13. The next step is to remove the handbrake line clamps (you can simply move the lines apart).
  14. The suspension bolts are unscrewed with a wrench and the tank is removed from the car.

The assembly of the structure is performed in the reverse order.

Gas tank protection for Lada X Ray

To increase the safety of the machine in the event of frequent off-road trips or operation on rough terrain, the manufacturer has provided protection for the engine crankcase. The structural element can withstand light impacts, shaking or contact with stones. However, the fuel tank and lines remain open, which can cause breakdown or rupture of the pressure pipe. The factory installed a standard boot on the hoses, but the quality of the design raises questions. In this regard, buyers resort to modifying the bottom of the car. You can buy Lada X-Ray gas tank protection for a price starting from 10,000 rubles. The kit includes the necessary fasteners. You can also replace the standard fuel line casing with a reinforced version. The amplifier installation procedure is as follows:

  1. Drive the car onto a viewing hole or lift.
  2. Prepare the necessary bolts and fasteners.
  3. Using a socket, unscrew the standard suspension bolt of the front part of the tank and attach the additional angle that comes with the protection to it.
  4. Using a knife, remove part of the heat shield to loosen the second mounting bolt. Screw the next bracket onto it.
  5. Attach the module to the rear axle of the gas tank suspension through a special bushing.
  6. Using the supplied bolts, tighten the shield to the installed fasteners and fully tighten the bolts.

The reinforced fuel line module is installed using standard fasteners with original bolts. The design shape is similar to the factory one, which greatly simplifies the installation procedure.

The capacity of the factory tank is sufficient for full use of the vehicle for its intended purpose. The standard design of highways does not imply reliable protection of elements from mechanical damage, but the defect can be quickly eliminated by installing attachments.
