Airplanes use aviation kerosene, not gasoline or diesel. Aircraft fuel has many requirements, such as: appropriate density, good combustibility, ability to achieve complete combustion, minimal carbon deposits, good fluidity at low temperatures, high cleanliness, good oxidation resistance, and stable combustion. The reasons why airplanes use aviation kerosene are as follows: 1. Aviation kerosene: Aviation kerosene has high lubricity, cleanliness, and heat properties, low corrosiveness, and more stable combustion. 2. Gasoline: Gasoline is highly effective, easy to burn, and has low safety. 3. Diesel: Diesel has a higher density, higher viscosity, is prone to freezing, and only very fine nozzles can atomize the fuel, making it unsuitable for aircraft engines.

Why does the tire pressure still show after the tire is repaired?

The reason why the tire pressure monitoring light remains on after the tire is repaired: The tire pressure monitoring light may still be on after inflating the tire, possibly due to a puncture that triggered the light, requiring tire repair; The tire pressure monitoring light is on due to a puncture. This situation usually involves very slow air leakage, making it difficult to immediately identify which tire is affected. In this case, you can use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure: 2.3 bar for the front tires and 2.5 bar for the rear tires. If the pressure is low, inflate the tire and then observe the tire pressure warning light. If it lights up again after a few days, the tire may need to be removed for inspection; At 4S shops, maintenance personnel typically adjust the front tire pressure to 2.3 bar and the rear tire pressure to 2.4 bar, then reset the tire pressure warning light. They may ask you to drive for 3 or 4 days to observe. If the warning light does not come on again, there is no problem. If it lights up again, there may be a puncture, and you should return to the 4S shop for further inspection. Normal tire pressure range: According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the recommended tire pressures are as follows: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5 bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9 bar; Maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5 bar.

What is the body length of the BMW 740 in meters?

The length, width, and height dimensions of the BMW 740 are 5273mm/1902mm/1498mm, which are official data. The length of the BMW 740 refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the car. The width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle. The height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and its supporting plane. The turbocharged engine of the BMW 740 has a maximum power of 250kW and a maximum torque of 450 Nm, with a maximum horsepower of 340. It features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. This engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. There are national regulations regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard "GB1589-89," the total width of a vehicle does not include side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is intended to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. In other words, under national standards, the significance of vehicle width data lies in ensuring enough space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the usage requirements of public roads.

DCT or AT: Which is Better

Most car models currently use dry-type DCT. DCT: DCT stands for Dual-Clutch Transmission, which is divided into dry-type and wet-type. High-end models generally use wet-type DCT because it has shorter shift times and better engine matching, resulting in less shift shock. AT: AT stands for Hydraulic Automatic Transmission, indicating that the car uses a hydraulic automatic transmission. Hydraulic automatic transmissions achieve automatic shifting through hydraulic drive and planetary gear combinations, and they do not use a clutch for shifting.
