Replacing the fuel pump will not increase fuel consumption. The fuel pump only provides fuel pressure and does not affect fuel efficiency. Maintenance tips for the fuel pump are as follows: 1. Changing the oil for small gasoline engine water pumps: After one month of use or 20 hours of operation, change the oil once. Subsequently, change the oil every six months or after 300 hours of use. Ensure the engine is warm for quick and thorough oil drainage. 2. Maintenance of the air filter for small gasoline engine water pumps: A dirty air filter reduces the airflow into the carburetor. To prevent carburetor malfunctions, regularly maintain the air filter. Increase maintenance frequency under particularly dirty conditions. Do not use the water pump without an air filter. If dirt and dust are sucked into the engine, it can cause rapid engine wear. 3. Maintenance of the spark plug for gasoline water pumps: For the engine to operate normally, the spark plug must have the correct gap and be free of carbon deposits. Exercise caution when removing the spark plug cap. If the engine is running, the muffler will be very hot. Be careful not to touch the muffler.

What is Tire Pressure Loss?

Tire pressure loss refers to a condition where one or more of the vehicle's four tires are underinflated. It is necessary to use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure of all four tires and check if the pressure values are within the specified range. If not, the pressure should be adjusted to the required level. The standard tire pressure values are usually indicated near the fuel filler cap or on the vehicle's B-pillar. For passenger cars, the front tire pressure should be between 2.2 to 2.3 bar when unloaded and 2.4 to 2.5 bar when fully loaded. The rear tire pressure should be between 2.4 to 2.5 bar when unloaded and 2.6 to 2.8 bar when fully loaded.

What are the consequences of complete engine oil leakage in a car?

Hazards of oil leakage: Insufficient oil can easily cause bearing seizure, cylinder scoring, and in severe cases, may lead to crankshaft breakage and engine block damage. Excessive oil will affect the car's power and is also prone to oil blow-by and oil burning. Causes of engine oil leakage in cars: 1. Poor product (accessory) quality, material, or workmanship. 2. Improper assembly, unclean mating surfaces, damaged or displaced gaskets, or failure to follow installation procedures. 3. Uneven tightening torque of fastening nuts, stripped threads, or loose connections leading to operational failure. 4. Wear beyond limits, aging, deterioration, or deformation failure of sealing materials after long-term use.
