Betr. Petrol pump mounted in the tank at the OPEL Omega. Hello,. I drive an Opel Omega A 2.6i. Unfortunately the petrol pump broke. I got a new, original (Bosch 220.-€), and my brother-in-law, car fitter, changed it to me. The petrol pump is in the tank for all Omegas from 1988. For power supply (12V DC) two wires are soldered directly to the open (and bare) soldering flags of the petrol pump. My question: Why can the petrol pump with open, bare voltage leading contact petrol is easily flammable, and yet it also develops explosive attenuations! Can nothing happen there? Probably not, because millions of such vehicles are registered. But why does nothing happen there, that doesn’t make sense to me. Especially when the tank is empty, it is still attenuating itself? And a cable break can always happen, and that also creates an arc of light. Maybe someone can explain this to me. Since I learned how the petrol pump is installed there, I have a strange feeling when driving a car. Thank you very much in advance, with kind greeting, Beny
