Can Leaves in the Engine Compartment Cause Spontaneous Combustion?

[DiMolly]

Leaves in the engine compartment will not cause spontaneous combustion. The function of the engine is to convert the thermal energy of gasoline or diesel into mechanical energy by burning the expanding gas in a sealed cylinder to push the piston and perform work. The engine consists of the following components: the engine block, the crankshaft and connecting rod mechanism, the valve train and intake/exhaust system, the fuel supply system and governor, the starting device, the cooling system, and the lubrication system. Methods for engine maintenance include: 1. Using qualified engine oil; 2. Using qualified coolant and antifreeze; 3. Regularly cleaning the radiator to remove scale; 4. Regularly cleaning engine carbon deposits; 5. Regularly replacing the three filters in the car; 6. Maintaining a reasonable engine speed.
