The fuel inlet of a car's fuel tank is a curved pipe, making it impossible to extract oil from there. However, by opening the rear seat cushion of the car, you can find an access point to do so. Gasoline is a volatile and flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid derived from the distillation and cracking of petroleum, used as fuel. It appears as a transparent liquid, is flammable, and has a distillation range of 30°C to 220°C. Its main components are C5 to C12 aliphatic hydrocarbons and cycloalkanes, along with a certain amount of aromatic hydrocarbons. Gasoline has a high octane number (anti-knock combustion performance) and is classified into different grades based on octane ratings, such as 89, 90, 92, 93, 95, 97, and 98. Starting from January 2012, the gasoline grades 90, 93, and 97 were revised to 89, 92, and 95 respectively.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the ASX?

The fuel tank capacity of the Mitsubishi ASX is 63 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the Mitsubishi ASX can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Mitsubishi ASX requires 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 6.6 to 7.3L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can provide a driving range of 863 to 955 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are 2 segments remaining to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level. There is additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Jetta VS7 in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Jetta VS7 is 51 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the Jetta VS7 can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Jetta VS7 requires 95-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 6.2 to 6.8L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of approximately 750 to 823 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, and there is additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening. This extra space is designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.

Will insurance cover the oil leak caused by a stone hitting the fuel tank?

If the car is driving normally and hits a stone, damaging the oil tank, the insurance will cover the claim if the car damage insurance has been purchased. If the car damage insurance has not been purchased, it is not within the scope of insurance compensation and will not be covered. Below is a brief introduction to car damage insurance: 1. Basic information: If there is no scratch insurance, it is relatively difficult for an accident vehicle to get a full-body paint job covered by insurance. Because a full-body paint job is expensive, the fixed cost is also higher, so the damage assessment will be higher, and the car must be severely damaged to qualify for paint compensation. Generally, the insurance company will not cover the full cost, only the damaged paint surfaces. 2. Full name of the insurance: The full name of scratch insurance is Body Scratch Loss Insurance. It is available for family-owned vehicles and non-commercial vehicles. It refers to the insurance company being responsible for compensating for the actual loss if the insured vehicle suffers from scratches on the body surface without obvious collision marks during the insurance period.

Where is the oil-water separator located in a car?

The oil-water separator is generally installed at the lowest point of the pipeline or at the working inlet (with the oil filter in front, followed by the water filter). When compressed air containing a large amount of oil, water, and solid impurities enters the separator, it swirls downward along the inner wall. The resulting centrifugal force separates the oil and water from the air stream, causing them to flow downward along the wall to the bottom of the oil-water separator. The oil is then finely filtered by the filter element. Relevant information about engine oil is as follows: 1. Introduction: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine-oil), has a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³). It serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and act as a shock absorber in the engine. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. 2. Composition: Engine oil consists of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of the lubricant, determining its basic properties, while the additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, imparting new characteristics. Additives are an essential part of the lubricant.

Can You Still Drive When the Water-Fuel Separator Alarm Goes Off?

When the water-fuel separator alarm is triggered, the cause should be investigated. If it's due to water accumulation, you can continue driving, but for other reasons, repairs are needed before driving. Reasons for the water-fuel separator alarm: Flashing state: The water-fuel separator is installed on a bracket near the fuel tank of the car. It separates water from fuel by utilizing the density difference between water and oil, filtering moisture from the fuel. When the moisture content in the fuel filter exceeds the limit, the water-fuel separator cannot function properly. Steady light state: A malfunction in the sensors related to the water-fuel separator causes it to stop operating due to the inability to transmit the working status normally. A faulty water-fuel separator prevents the proper removal of water during fuel combustion, which can easily lead to abnormal operation of the fuel injectors. This may result in unstable engine acceleration, lack of power, black smoke emissions, white smoke from the engine, and severe carbon buildup. Solutions: When the water-fuel separator warning light is on, you can open the drain valve under the separator's liquid storage tank to release the water. As the liquid level drops below the sensor, the indicator light will naturally turn off. If the warning light remains on after draining the water from the storage tank, the issue might lie with the water-fuel separator sensor. Use a multimeter to check the sensor's voltage, which should normally be 12V and 5V. If abnormal, and after confirming it's not a wiring or connection issue, replace the water-fuel separator sensor.
