If poor-quality fuel has been added to the car, it is best not to mix in good fuel immediately; instead, wait until the current fuel is used up before refilling. Remedial measures for adding low-quality gasoline are as follows: 1. Clean the fuel system: Poor-quality gasoline contains many impurities that can clog the fuel system. It is necessary to replace the fuel filter and clean the fuel injectors promptly. If there are excessive impurities, the fuel tank and fuel lines should also be cleaned to prevent more severe consequences. 2. Clean the cylinders: Poor-quality gasoline leaves behind significant residues after combustion, which can form severe carbon deposits over time that are difficult to remove. The cylinders should be cleaned to prevent these residues from hardening and damaging the engine. 3. Clean the three-way catalytic converter: The gases produced by burning poor-quality gasoline can poison the three-way catalytic converter. Cleaning engine carbon deposits may also cause blockages in the three-way catalytic converter.

What does a black license plate with Jing A represent?

Jing A black license plates indicate that the vehicle belongs to a foreign-funded enterprise or an embassy.

What is a Transmission Like?

Transmission is the device located between the clutch and the central drive. It is a device that changes the speed ratio and direction of motion. Used in automobiles, tractors, ships, machine tools, and various machines, it alters the torque, speed, and direction of motion transmitted from the driving shaft to the driven shaft under different working conditions. Gear-driven transmissions generally consist of a housing and several gear pairs. Introduction to Automotive Transmission: Automotive transmission mainly refers to the gearbox of a car, which is divided into manual and automatic types. Manual transmissions are primarily composed of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque changes through different gear combinations. Automatic transmissions (AT), on the other hand, consist of a torque converter, planetary gears, a hydraulic torque variation system, and a hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque changes through hydraulic transmission and gear combinations. Function of Automotive Transmission: The engine's output speed is very high, with maximum power and maximum torque occurring within a certain speed range. To optimize engine performance, the transmission was developed to coordinate the engine's speed with the actual driving speed of the wheels.

How many lanes does the Rilan Expressway have and what is the speed limit?

The Rilan Expressway has been expanded and reconstructed into a two-way eight-lane expressway with a subgrade width of 28 meters and a design speed of 120 kilometers per hour. Expressway speed limit values: The speed limit on expressways shall not exceed 120km/h, and the speed limit value shall be an integer multiple of 10km/h. The difference in speed limit values between two adjacent speed-limited sections should not exceed 20km/h. For the mainline of highway interchanges, deceleration lanes, and exit ramps, the difference in speed limit values between the speed limit signs should not exceed 30km/h. Speed limit sign design: Speed limit signs should be designed to be more concise, clear, and aesthetically pleasing. Speed limit signs should be placed at the starting point of the speed-limited section and should not be obscured by roadside trees, structures along the route, or other traffic signs. They should be repeated as needed.

How Often Should You Take a Break When Driving a Small Car Long Distance in Summer?

When driving a small car long distance during the day, it is recommended to take a break every 3-4 hours (professional long-distance drivers typically take breaks every 4-4.5 hours), and every 2 hours at night (professional long-distance drivers usually take breaks every 2-3 hours). High Speed: If driving at high speed, it is advisable to take a break every hour during the day. At night, for safety reasons, maintain a steady speed and avoid driving too fast. Other Scenarios: For novice drivers on the highway, it's best to stop at a service station every 2-3 hours. Experienced drivers who are not professional long-distance drivers can take breaks every 3-4 hours. If you have high energy levels, you can extend the duration slightly, but be mindful not to exceed the speed limit, as it can be very dangerous. If you're driving a medium or large truck on the highway, it's recommended to take a 15-30 minute break every 2-3 hours.

Is it allowed to make a U-turn at a traffic light intersection?

At a traffic light intersection without a no U-turn sign and with a sign allowing left turns on red, you can make a U-turn from the leftmost lane. Driving in the opposite direction will result in a three-point penalty if caught. Rules for making a U-turn: At a traffic light intersection, you can make a U-turn without looking at the traffic signal if your vehicle does not cross the stop line of the left-turn lane at the intersection; does not occupy solid lane division lines, pedestrian crossings, guide lines, safety islands, or other traffic markings; and does not obstruct the normal passage of other vehicles and pedestrians. Precautions: Intersections where you can make a U-turn without looking at the traffic signal facilitate quick departure for U-turning vehicles, but U-turning vehicles do not have the right of way and must not obstruct the normal passage of other vehicles and pedestrians. If an accident occurs, the U-turning vehicle will be held responsible.
