Under normal circumstances, when the car's fuel light comes on, an average car can still travel 30 to 100 kilometers. Here is some information about the fuel tank: 1. Introduction: The automobile fuel tank is the full name of the car's fuel tank. Currently, with the development of the automotive industry and the revitalization of the domestic automobile industry, the demand for automobile fuel tanks from major automobile manufacturers has shown a significant growth trend. 2. Principle: It utilizes the heat energy generated by the engine during operation, adding a set of thermal circulation system between the engine, fuel tank, and water tank. 3. Classification: Iron fuel tanks, aluminum alloy fuel tanks. With the development of various new materials, the rust prevention issue of iron fuel tanks has become the biggest problem affecting their quality. Especially today, with an emphasis on environmental protection. In the heavy-duty truck sector, the issue affecting the advancement of new models is the quality of fuel in our country, with the quality of the fuel tank, which is crucial for containing the fuel, becoming a key focus.

I've been driving for twenty years and have encountered many situations where the fuel gauge hit the red light. Actually, when the fuel gauge shows empty, there are still about seven to eight liters of fuel left in the tank, enough to drive 50 to 100 kilometers. Last time, I drove my old Passat off the highway and managed to go another 70 kilometers after the warning light came on before finding a gas station. However, this shouldn't be done frequently because the fuel pump relies on gasoline for cooling, and too low fuel levels can cause the pump to overheat and fail, costing thousands to repair. Different car models have varying reserve amounts; SUVs generally can go 20 to 30 kilometers farther than sedans, but heavy traffic can significantly increase fuel consumption and reduce this distance. It's advisable to develop the habit of refueling when a quarter tank remains, which both protects the fuel pump and avoids the embarrassment of running out of gas midway.

Is the Fit's engine imported or domestically produced?

The Fit is not an imported car but a joint venture model. It is equipped with a domestically assembled and produced 1.5L direct-injection naturally aspirated engine with the model number L15B2. It delivers a maximum output of 96kW (131PS) and a peak torque of 155N-m, paired with either a 5-speed manual or CVT transmission. Precautions for using a car engine are as follows: 1. Avoid coasting in neutral: The engine itself has a fuel-cut function during deceleration, and coasting in neutral is not conducive to fuel economy. 2. Pay attention to observation when using the vehicle: If oil is found on the ground, determine whether there is an engine oil leak and promptly communicate with the car 4S store to eliminate potential safety hazards. 3. For cars equipped with turbochargers: Do not turn off the engine immediately after high-speed driving or climbing; let it idle for 10 minutes before shutting down. Turbocharged cars accumulate carbon deposits several times faster than naturally aspirated cars.

What Causes the Generator Throttle to Fluctuate?

It is mainly related to the fuel injection volume from the injector, the atomization effect of gasoline, and the mixing ratio with air. Here is relevant information: 1. Introduction: The car generator is the main power source of a vehicle. Its function is to supply power to all electrical devices (except the starter) when the engine is running normally, while also charging the battery. Based on the three-phase stator winding of a conventional alternator, the number of winding turns is increased, and terminals are added, along with an additional three-phase bridge rectifier. At low speeds, the output is from the original winding and the additional winding in series, while at higher speeds, only the original three-phase winding provides the output. 2. Classification: Automotive generators can be divided into DC generators and AC generators. Since AC generators outperform DC generators in many aspects, DC generators have been phased out.
