After use, the spare tire needs to be cleaned to wash away harmful substances, ensuring the tire lasts longer and remains safer. Spare Tire: A spare tire refers to the backup tire for a car, typically matching the specifications of the original tires. However, some vehicles use special colored wheel rims, compact spare tires, folding spare tires, or run-flat tires to remind the owner to inspect and replace faulty tires promptly. Purpose of Spare Tires: Compact spare tires, folding spare tires, and run-flat tires help save storage space inside the vehicle. When using a spare tire, the maximum speed is lower than that of standard tires, and it is advisable to replace it with a standard tire as soon as you reach your destination. This is often indicated with prominent multilingual labels.

Is it a problem to add 98 gasoline when 95 gasoline is not used up?

It is problematic to add 98 gasoline when 95 gasoline is not used up. Below is the relevant introduction about gasoline: Avoid mixing gasoline: For the new gasoline standard, there are some doubts and concerns, but you can also add 95 gasoline. However, because the components of different gasoline grades are different, it is best to avoid mixing gasoline of different grades. Different anti-knock indexes: Gasoline is a mixture. The gasoline grades we usually encounter refer to different anti-knock indexes (i.e., octane numbers) of gasoline. Strictly speaking, 92 gasoline and 95 gasoline cannot be mixed. However, their chemical compositions and other aspects are relatively similar, and they have strong anti-knock properties. Generally, mixing them will not cause significant problems, but to ensure vehicle safety, it is best to use them separately.

Is it okay to occasionally use 92 gasoline in a car designed for 95?

Occasionally using 92 gasoline in a car designed for 95 is acceptable, but long-term use of the wrong fuel can lead to insufficient anti-knock performance, increased engine failure rates, higher fuel consumption, more carbon deposits, and clogged fuel injectors. Reason Analysis: Normally, the fuel cap of a vehicle indicates the recommended fuel grade, and you should use that grade or a higher one. It is not advisable to use a lower grade. Cars designed for 92 gasoline can use 95 gasoline, but cars designed for 95 gasoline should not use 92 gasoline. The main difference between different fuel grades lies in their anti-knock performance, which is a crucial indicator of fuel quality. 92 gasoline has an octane rating of 92 and is suitable for mid-range cars (with lower compression ratios). 95 gasoline consists of 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane and should be used in engines with higher compression ratios. 98 gasoline has an octane rating equivalent to a mixture of 98% isooctane and 2% n-heptane. The advantages of 98 gasoline are "two highs and two lows": higher anti-knock performance and power output, along with lower harmful substances and exhaust pollution. Long-term Effects of Using the Wrong Fuel Grade: Using a higher-grade fuel in a car designed for a lower grade will not cause damage, but the increased octane rating can alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This reduces the engine's power output and thermal efficiency. Conversely, using a lower-grade fuel in a car designed for a higher grade can cause engine knocking, increased resistance during the power stroke, abnormal wear on the piston and cylinder, and in severe cases, cylinder scoring.

Will a 2021 Temporary License Plate Be Captured for Traffic Violations?

2021 temporary license plates can be captured for traffic violations. Although ordinary "electronic police" systems may not recognize the information on temporary plates, many modern electronic monitoring systems are highly intelligent. They can record driving trajectories through 24/7 video surveillance. If violations such as speeding, crossing lines, or running red lights occur, the monitoring screen will trigger an alarm. Operators will then manually review and record the violation process as evidence for penalties. Temporary license plates are the only legal documents allowing vehicles to operate on the road before official plates are issued. They do not grant special privileges. While penalties like fines and demerit points for violations may seem minor, the risks to road safety are significant. For the safety of both yourself and others, whether using temporary or official plates, it is essential to comply with traffic laws. If a temporary plate is not properly displayed, it will be treated as driving without a license plate, resulting in a 12-point deduction, corresponding fines, and possible vehicle impoundment or towing by traffic police. If no temporary plate is present, officers can locate the owner via the VIN on the windshield and notify them to handle the matter.

2021 Legal Scope of Motorcycle Modifications?

The legal scope for motorcycle modifications is relatively limited, allowing only minor changes primarily in performance and appearance. The details are as follows: In terms of performance modifications, permissible changes include upgrading to high-end spark plugs, installing break-resistant and bendable aluminum alloy clutch and brake levers, using explosion-proof and leak-resistant brake lines, aluminum alloy brake fluid reservoirs, and high-performance wear-resistant brake pads. For appearance modifications, acceptable changes include adding handlebar guards, installing license plate frames (without obscuring the plate), decorative lights, and mirrors of the same size. Color changes are also allowed, but flashy multi-color combinations are prohibited; generally, solid colors are acceptable. According to the 'Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations,' unauthorized alterations to a motorcycle's exterior shape are prohibited. However, Article 53 of the 'Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' states that cargo carried on a motorcycle must not exceed 1.5 meters in height from the ground or 0.2 meters in length beyond the vehicle body. For two-wheeled motorcycles, cargo width must not exceed 0.15 meters on either side of the handlebars, and for three-wheeled motorcycles, it must not exceed the vehicle body width. Since motorcycle tailboxes or side cases are detachable, they are theoretically considered add-ons rather than modifications. As long as the tailbox dimensions comply with the above regulations, it is not considered an illegal modification, meaning compliant tailboxes can be installed.

Does using 92 gasoline in a 95-rated car have any impact?

Occasionally using 92 gasoline in a 95-rated car has no impact, but it is not recommended for long-term use. The effects of mixing 92 and 95 gasoline are as follows: Shortens the lifespan of the car's ignition system, fuel injectors, and spark plugs. Advances the timing of major vehicle overhauls. Causes unstable engine power output. Increases exhaust pollution and harms the environment. Gasoline is a mixture, and the chemical compositions of both types are relatively similar, with strong anti-knock properties. However, to ensure vehicle safety, it is recommended to use them separately. The difference between 92 and 95 gasoline lies in their octane ratings and quality levels. Specific details are as follows: Different octane ratings: 92 gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane. 95 gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. Different gasoline quality levels: The gasoline grade represents the octane rating of the fuel. A higher grade indicates a higher octane rating, which means better anti-knock performance. This results in smoother engine operation, reduced wear and tear, and better engine protection. Using higher-grade gasoline in a lower-grade vehicle will not cause damage, but the increased octane rating can alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This reduces the engine's power output and thermal efficiency, resulting in poorer performance. Using lower-grade gasoline in a higher-grade vehicle can cause engine knocking. The significantly lower octane rating reduces the fuel's ignition point, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug fires, it creates resistance during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unstably. Mild knocking may only increase noise without significant engine damage, but severe knocking indicates serious engine issues, affecting driving stability and causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, potentially leading to cylinder scoring. If you accidentally mix fuels or use the wrong grade, simply refuel with the correct grade next time to restore normal operation. Some drivers believe using higher-grade fuel can boost performance, but this is unnecessary. If the engine's compression ratio does not meet the required standard, even premium fuel will not improve performance. At best, it may reduce carbon emissions and keep the engine cleaner.
