Does Fuel from Private Gas Stations Affect Vehicles?
1 Answers
Fuel from private gas stations can affect vehicles. It is generally recommended to refuel at state-owned gas stations because the fuel quality is more reliable, while private gas stations are more prone to fuel quality issues. Below are some relevant tips about vehicle refueling: 1. Precautions: Before driving, check the fuel gauge and calculate whether refueling is needed during the trip based on the distance and the fuel gauge reading. It is advisable to refuel in advance rather than waiting until the fuel light comes on. The fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank and operates at high temperatures when running continuously. Being submerged in fuel helps cool it effectively. 2. Friendly Reminder: When the fuel light comes on, it indicates the fuel level is below the fuel pump. Frequently waiting until the light comes on to refuel can shorten the fuel pump's lifespan. Too little fuel in the tank may even cause the fuel pump to burn out. It is better to refuel in the morning or evening, avoiding the hot midday sun and high temperatures. This is because gasoline is charged by volume rather than weight, and it expands with heat and contracts with cold.
