Gas stations can add fuel additives you bring yourself. Correct usage method of fuel additives: Add the fuel additive to an almost empty fuel tank, then add gasoline. Typically, 60ml can be mixed with 30-60 liters of gasoline; do not overuse. The standard for overuse is adding no more than 5 bottles per tank of fuel. For car owners who habitually fill up two-thirds or half a tank, it is also recommended to add one bottle for better results. Adding fuel additives 6 times constitutes one cycle, and 12 times is an excellent usage cycle. It is recommended to add one bottle before each refueling to keep the vehicle in optimal condition. The functions of fuel additives: Fuel additives can remove carbon deposits, reduce fuel consumption, and restore engine power. Fuel additives, commonly known as a type of fuel additive, can to some extent clean the fuel injectors and fuel system, improve the atomization effect of the injectors, enhance the mixing and combustion of air and gasoline, and use antioxidant detergents to remove gum and moisture from the fuel system, thereby achieving the effect of cleaning carbon deposits.

Just helped my cousin with this a couple of days ago. Many gas stations do sell fuel additives at the counter, and staff usually offer to add it for you if you make a purchase. But don't count on getting assistance every time—during peak hours, they're often too busy. Personally, I usually turn off the engine after refueling, open the fuel tank cap, and pour the fuel additive in myself. The whole process takes less than a minute. Just remember to pour slowly and aim for the tank opening to avoid spills and wasted money. Important reminder: no open flames or smoking near the fuel pump, and always maintain a safe distance when pouring the additive.

How soon can I check the vehicle inspection results on 12123?

The traffic management 12123 platform typically refreshes data once a week. The exact timing depends on the data update speed of local traffic authorities, and delayed updates are quite common. If there's an urgent matter and the data hasn't been updated, it's recommended to visit the service window of the traffic management office. For non-urgent cases, please wait patiently for the system to update the data. More details are as follows: Records are usually uploaded within 72 hours: For traffic violation data, records are generally uploaded within approximately 72 hours and then synchronized to various violation query platforms. Considering the workload of different departments, corresponding violation records can usually be checked on the traffic management 12123 platform within a week. If the 12123 version is too old, it might prevent data from updating; downloading the latest version should resolve this. Driver's license points update time: Regarding the update time for driver's license points, it generally follows a one-year cycle, but not necessarily starting on January 1st each year. The specific time is based on the clearance date shown in the APP. Note: If the points do not reach 12 within the scoring cycle and all fines have been paid, the points will be cleared after the clearance period. If there are unpaid fines, they will automatically carry over to the next scoring cycle. If 12 points are accumulated within one scoring cycle, the driver must attend a re-education course and pass the exam at the vehicle management office where the driving license was issued. Only after paying the fines will the points be reset to zero.

Do Small Cars Need to Wait for Traffic Lights When Turning Right?

Turning right requires observing the traffic lights. Although most traffic lights are green when turning right, not all roads have green lights for right turns. Here is relevant information about running red lights: Six situations of running red lights: Stopping immediately after crossing the line at a red light; Running a red light under the direction of traffic police; Stopping after the entire vehicle body crosses the line at a red light; Reversing after stopping beyond the line; "Accidentally" running a red light behind a large vehicle; Passing through an intersection during a yellow light. Penalty rules: Regardless of the reason, any violation of running a red light will be punished according to the law. To determine if a vehicle has run a red light, three photos are used as evidence. On October 8, 2012, the Ministry of Public Security revised and issued the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," increasing the penalty points for violations such as disobeying traffic signals from 3 points to 6 points.

What Causes a Car Alarm to Go Off Intermittently?

Car alarms going off intermittently without reason are typically due to issues with the anti-theft device's sensitivity or wiring. Detailed explanations are as follows: Anti-theft Device Sensitivity: If a car alarm keeps going off, it is likely because the sensitivity of the anti-theft device is set too high, causing it to trigger an alarm with even the slightest vibration. To resolve this, first locate the main unit of the anti-theft device, which is usually found under the steering wheel or behind the A-pillar trim panel. Then, slightly adjust the sensitivity knob. However, avoid setting it too low, as this would significantly reduce the car's anti-theft effectiveness. Anti-theft Device Wiring: The issue might also stem from faulty wiring in the anti-theft device's main unit, requiring prompt inspection, repair, or replacement. Whether it's checking the wiring or replacing the alarm, it's best to leave these tasks to professionals.

Is it okay to turn on the air conditioning directly without starting the car?

No, turning on the air conditioning without starting the car can damage the vehicle. When the car is not started, the air conditioning will drain the battery, making it difficult to start the engine later. In this state, the air conditioning only blows natural air from the blower, as the air conditioning compressor is powered by the engine. Below is an introduction to car air conditioning: Introduction: The car air conditioning system, abbreviated as car AC, is used to adjust and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow inside the car cabin to optimal conditions. It provides a comfortable environment for passengers, reducing travel fatigue, and creates good working conditions for the driver, playing a crucial role in ensuring safe driving. Generally, it includes cooling, heating, and ventilation systems. This integrated system makes full use of the limited space inside the car, featuring a simple structure and easy operation, making it a popular modern car air conditioning system internationally. Functions: The functions of automatic air conditioning include automatic adjustment of in-car temperature and humidity, automatic control of air recirculation and supply modes, and control of operation methods and ventilation volume. The electronic control unit will operate the air conditioning system automatically based on the settings made by the driver or passengers via the control panel buttons. It adjusts the air supply temperature and speed in real-time according to signals from various sensors, maintaining the best possible air environment inside the car.
