Idling a car for 50 minutes does consume fuel. Here are the specific details: Idle state: When the car is started but not moving, it indicates the engine is in an idle state. Idle state refers to the engine running without load, with the engine speed typically ranging between 550-800 RPM. Prolonged idling can easily lead to carbon buildup in the engine. Temperature: Neither high nor low idle speeds are ideal. A high idle speed can affect engine fuel consumption, potentially increasing it, raising the internal engine temperature, accelerating engine wear, and reducing the engine's lifespan. Conversely, prolonged low idle speeds can cause the car to stall. Stalling can occur in two scenarios: one is stalling during idle, and the other is stalling while the car is in motion.

Will the battery burn out if it is short-circuited?

If the short-circuit time is very short, there is no big problem. However, if it lasts for a long time, the wires may melt, internal high temperatures may cause melting, the plates may deform, the battery may swell and fail, and even cause a fire accident. The following is additional information: Solutions for a burned car battery: Remove the battery, charge it once with a charger, clean the corrosion at the connection points, and reinstall the battery. Use a multimeter to measure the contact resistance at the battery terminals. If it exceeds 100 milliohms, the contact resistance is too high, and you should replace or clean the terminals. If not, you can only replace the battery. Causes of a burned car battery: Circuit short-circuit: The car interior contains many complex electronic components and circuits. Once a short-circuit occurs, not only will the electronic components be damaged, but the battery may also burn out. Excessive charging voltage: Most battery failures are caused by prolonged excessive charging voltage. Electrolyte loss: The battery contains electrolyte. Once leakage occurs, it indicates the need for immediate replacement; otherwise, it will lead to other circuit failures. Long-term complete discharge of the battery: Frequent and prolonged complete discharges of the battery will accelerate its aging, thereby shortening its lifespan.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes-Benz GL350 in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes-Benz GL350 is 100 liters. The luggage compartment volume ranges from 300 to 2300 liters. The intake form is naturally aspirated, with 8 cylinders and 4 valves per cylinder. Fuel tank maintenance is as follows: Drain accumulated water and sediment from the fuel tank, and check for oil leaks at pipe joints and switches. For fuel tank caps equipped with air valves and steam valves, also inspect whether the vent holes are clear. The filter screen at the fuel filler inlet should remain intact to prevent impurities from entering the tank during refueling and clogging the fuel lines. The sealing gasket on the fuel filler cap should also be in good condition to prevent fuel spillage while driving. If the owner wants to know the remaining fuel level, they can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E and F. When the pointer is near E, it indicates low fuel, and when it is close to F, it indicates sufficient fuel. Methods to open the fuel tank: Mechanical key opening: This method is typically seen on some rugged off-road vehicles and is generally not used for ordinary family cars nowadays. In-car switch method: The location of the fuel tank switch inside the car varies by model. Remember to turn off the engine before refueling. Press-to-open method: The press-to-open fuel tank door is currently the most convenient method.

How long can the renewal of a C1 driver's license be delayed?

Article 57 of the "Traffic Regulations and Penalty Points Rules": Motor vehicle drivers should apply for license renewal at the vehicle management office where the driver's license was originally issued or at another vehicle management office within 90 days before the expiration of the driver's license. If the driver's license is expired, traffic police will impose a fine but no penalty points. There is also a deadline for license renewal. If the license has been expired for less than one year, the renewal can proceed through the normal process; if expired between one to three years, the license will be revoked, but it can be reinstated by passing the subject one exam; if expired for more than three years, the license will be permanently revoked. When applying, the applicant must fill out an application form and submit the following documents: the motor vehicle driver's identity proof; the motor vehicle driver's license; a medical certificate issued by a county-level or military regiment-level medical institution. For those applying for a special small automatic transmission passenger vehicle for the disabled, a medical certificate issued by a specialized medical institution designated by the provincial health authority must be submitted. Details regarding the renewal of an expired driver's license: You can apply for license renewal within 90 days of the license's expiration, either at the local vehicle management office or online. When renewing, after filling out the renewal application as needed, the applicant must bring their ID card, driver's license, medical examination report, and other relevant materials. A recent one-inch color photo with a white background and no hat is required for the renewal. If the photo is not up to standard, a new one must be taken. After the motor vehicle driver's license is renewed, the original license becomes invalid and cannot be used again. The driver must properly keep the personal information on the driver's license and not discard it carelessly to avoid information leakage, which could cause issues during the use of the driver's license. Regarding renewal: Before renewal, all traffic violations associated with the license must be resolved; otherwise, the renewal cannot be processed. Processing locations: License renewal can be done at the vehicle management office where the driver's license was originally issued or at another vehicle management office. Renewal can also be done through the mobile app "Traffic Management 12123" or via the vehicle management office, traffic management department, or public security authorities. Photos and medical certificates required for renewal can be brought by the applicant.

What Does Brake Irregularity Mean?

During the examination process, students often feel nervous and sometimes rush to press the brake pedal when decelerating, resulting in rapid speed reduction or vehicle jerking, which can lead to point deductions. Below is an introduction related to braking: 1. Concept: The braking system is a series of specialized devices in a car that apply a certain force (mainly from the road surface) to specific parts of the car (mainly the wheels), thereby enforcing a certain degree of braking. 2. Function: It enables a moving car to decelerate or even stop as required by the driver. It also ensures that a parked car remains stable under various road conditions and maintains a stable speed for cars going downhill.
