Loaning a car to others carries risks and is not advisable. There are potential issues with the car: the borrower may not be familiar with the vehicle, and minor problems could lead to traffic accidents, for which the owner would be held responsible. There are also concerns with the borrower: they might have just obtained their driver's license and lack driving experience; they could be driving under the influence of alcohol; or their license type may not be suitable for the vehicle. For someone who has just gotten their license, the likelihood of minor collisions is high, and if they run a red light and incur penalty points, the owner would have to bear the consequences. Additionally, if the borrower drives under the influence, the car could be impounded. In case of an accident while the car is loaned, insurance may refuse to cover the damages: after purchasing a car, owners typically buy car insurance. Normally, if the owner is involved in an accident, they can directly contact the insurance company for assistance. However, if the car is loaned to someone else and an accident occurs, the insurance company may deny the claim. As stated in the insurance policy, the insurer can refuse coverage for damages caused by driving without the insurer's consent.

What is a Dust Filter?

Dust filter is a device that works in conjunction with the charcoal canister, installed at the end of the pipe leading from the charcoal canister to the atmosphere. Below is relevant information about dust filters: Functions of a dust filter: Maintains air pressure balance and absorbs fuel vapor. The engine's fuel supply relies on the fuel pump drawing gasoline from the fuel tank. Without an external air passage, the fuel tank would remain in a negative pressure state, which would progressively increase, causing the tank to collapse and deform. Simultaneously, the working resistance and load on the fuel pump would continuously rise, potentially leading to severe cases where the fuel pump could burn out, and the sliding rod of the fuel level sensor could be crushed and deformed. Methods to extend the service life of a dust filter: Generally, the service life of an activated charcoal canister is quite long, and manufacturers typically do not recommend regular replacement of the charcoal canister. However, due to environmental factors, the ventilation pipe is prone to clogging from dust and debris. Therefore, installing a dust filter on the ventilation pipe can help prolong the effectiveness and service life of the charcoal canister.
