Can I drive if I forgot to turn off the engine while refueling? The answer is yes. Here are specific precautions to take when refueling: 1. No phone calls: The increased communication signal strength in mobile phones can cause electronic friction with the gas station's electronic equipment, which may easily ignite the fuel. 2. No open flames: Fuel is a highly flammable substance, and even a small spark can lead to safety hazards at the gas station. Not only is smoking prohibited, but the use of matches, lighters, or any other ignition tools is also forbidden. 3. Turn off the engine while refueling: The car must be turned off during refueling to extinguish any flames inside the vehicle, ensuring safe refueling. This is particularly important for older cars, as they may occasionally produce sparks during the refueling process.

Is it illegal to modify car horn sounds?

Modifying a car's horn requires filing with the authorities; failure to do so constitutes a violation of the law. The specific details are as follows: 1.

The reason the state prohibits illegal car modifications is that modified vehicles have not undergone safety testing, making them prone to traffic accidents. 2. Types of modifications: Illegal modifications include changes to key parts of the car, such as the exterior appearance, logos, sunroofs, roof racks, spoilers, tires, rims, and chassis. Interior modifications include alterations to the steering wheel, seats, and dashboard.

What Causes the Supercharger to Glow Red?

Supercharger glowing red is a normal phenomenon. When the engine exhaust temperature reaches 730°C, the supercharger housing begins to glow. During normal engine operation, the maximum exhaust temperature ranges between 850°C and 880°C. The supercharger housing can withstand temperatures up to 1050°C, so glowing below 880°C is considered normal. Symptoms of a damaged supercharger include: 1. During rapid acceleration, hearing the exhaust valve scream above 1750 RPM is normal; 2. When pressing the car's odometer, abnormal noises inside the second turbine indicate damage; 3. If the car's turbocharger is faulty, the engine warning light will illuminate; 4. It can lead to incomplete combustion in the engine, resulting in strong exhaust odors.
