It is not possible to extract gasoline from a car's fuel tank using a tube. Modern car fuel tanks are equipped with filters, making it nearly impossible for a tube to enter the tank, let alone extract gasoline. This design is also intended to prevent fuel theft. Car Fuel Tank Capacity: The fuel tank capacity refers to the maximum safe volume of the tank as announced by the manufacturer. For micro and small cars, the capacity ranges between 35-55 liters; for compact and mid-size cars, it ranges between 55-70 liters. Some large full-size SUVs may have a fuel tank capacity exceeding 100 liters. Fuel Tank Capacity Measurement Unit: The international standard for measuring car fuel tank capacity is liters (L). Different countries also have their own standards for fuel tank capacity. In China, the fuel tank capacity is stipulated to be 95% of the rated value, but in reality, the actual capacity is usually larger than the nominal capacity. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the car's fuel tank being smaller than the actual capacity.

How often should the brake fluid be replaced for an Audi A6?

Audi A6 should have its brake fluid replaced every 40,000 kilometers or every 2 years. If any abnormalities are detected, immediate action must be taken. The method for replacing brake fluid in an Audi A6 is as follows: 1. First, open the cap of the brake fluid filler port and use a syringe to extract some of the old fluid. After filling with new fluid, lift the car and loosen the brake fluid drain screws near all four tires to allow the brake fluid to slowly drain out. 2. After lowering the car, slowly add new fluid to the filler port to prevent air from entering the brake lines. When only 1/3 of the brake fluid remains in the bottle, quickly raise the car again. 3. Tighten the drain screws on all four tires, then lower the car. Fill the brake fluid reservoir to the top and secure the cap to complete the brake fluid replacement.

What Causes the BMW 530 Fan to Keep Running?

1. Excessive Transmission Oil Temperature: Check the transmission oil temperature upon startup; it is only 40-50°C, yet the fan continues to run at high speed. This rules out excessive transmission oil temperature as the cause. 2. Excessive Air Conditioning Pressure: Upon engine startup, the control unit shows the coolant temperature at only 60°C, yet the fan still runs at high speed. This also rules out excessive coolant temperature as the cause. 3. Excessive Coolant Temperature: When checking the air conditioning pressure reading, the air conditioning system is not yet activated, but the pressure displays 27 Bar. The fan typically runs at high speed when the air conditioning pressure reaches 20-24 Bar, suggesting that the high-speed fan operation is due to excessive air conditioning pressure. Additional relevant information: Further investigation is needed to confirm whether the air conditioning pressure is indeed excessive. Directly connecting an air conditioning refrigerant charging machine to check the actual pressure in the system reveals a high pressure of only 12-14 Bar and a low pressure of 2 Bar, indicating normal pressure levels.

What is the difference between a diversion line and a guide line?

Diversion line is: to make each vehicle can drive in its own lane, play the role of control, guidance, and traffic warning, so as to reduce traffic accidents. Guide line is: set on the driveway dividing line at the entrance of the intersection. It is used to indicate the position of the guide lane where vehicles should drive according to the guide direction. Therefore, guide markings are generally drawn at intersections with heavy traffic in order to clarify the direction of travel. The diversion line is to stipulate that each vehicle can take the correct road. The form of the diversion line is mainly one or several white V-shaped lines or oblique line areas set according to the terrain of the intersection, usually indicating that vehicles must drive according to the prescribed route during driving, and must not press or cross the line. It is mainly used for intersections that are too wide, irregular, or have relatively complex driving conditions, ramp entrances of interchanges, or other special locations. In contemporary society, development is rapid, and cars are relatively common, which facilitates travel. Therefore, cars should drive according to the diversion line, abide by traffic warnings, and drive civilized. Diversion lines and guide lines are indispensable warning signs in traffic driving.
