How Many Kilometers Can You Drive When the Fuel Gauge is Empty?

When the fuel gauge light comes on, the car can typically run for about 30 to 50 kilometers. Below are some precautions regarding the use of the fuel gauge: Pointer Indication Deviation: When the fuel pump is operating, a negative pressure is created inside the fuel tank, which reduces the tank's volume and raises the fuel level. Additionally, the thermal expansion of gasoline due to temperature can cause the gauge to show a higher reading. When the temperature drops or the fuel tank is opened, the pressure is released, and the fuel level decreases accordingly. Therefore, such display deviations are normal. However, the deviation usually does not exceed the width of one pointer. Avoid Continuing to Drive When the Indicator Light Comes On: When the indicator light comes on, it means the fuel level is critically low. Continuing to drive under these conditions can be harmful because the fuel pump, located inside the fuel tank, generates significant heat during operation. Fuel acts as a coolant for the pump, ensuring it operates properly by continuously cooling it. Without sufficient fuel for cooling, prolonged operation of the fuel pump will inevitably lead to burnout. Refuel Promptly When the Indicator Light Comes On: It is essential to refuel as soon as the indicator light comes on. This is because the fuel pump relies on gasoline for both cooling and lubrication. A low fuel level can impair the pump's normal operation and shorten its lifespan.

What kind of engine oil is good for the Excelle?

It is recommended to use the original engine oil provided by the manufacturer for the Excelle. Of course, for the Excelle 1.5L, brands such as Mobil, Shell, and Castrol can also be used. Below is the relevant information about the engine oil for the Excelle: 1. Continue to use the 5W-30 oil grade, as this grade basically meets the requirements for both winter and summer use in China. 2. If you are in a hotter region, you can use 5W-40. The higher the number, the greater the viscosity and the higher the maximum applicable temperature. 3. The Buick Excelle 1.5L uses the original 5W-30 semi-synthetic oil, priced at 50 yuan/L, with a filling volume of about 3.7L.

What brand of tires does the Changan CS35 use?

The Changan CS35 uses Chaoyang brand tires, available in two specifications: 215/50-R17 and 205/60-R16. Below is relevant information about the Changan CS35: 1. Although the exterior design of the new Changan CS35 largely follows the old model, the new CS35 has made significant improvements in details. Firstly, the enlarged grille area gives it a more imposing presence, while the chrome trim around it greatly enhances its fashionable appeal. The front and rear headlights have been redesigned in shape, and daytime running lights and front fog lights are standard across all models. The rear design adopts simpler lines, paired with a bumper featuring large black decorative panels, giving it a stronger fashionable vibe. 2. The flexible handling and robust yet resilient chassis tuning provide the CS35 with excellent driving quality. The 1.6L+4AT powertrain combination appears to be moderate, primarily due to considerations of cost and fuel consumption.

What does parallel import of cars mean?

Parallel import cars refer to vehicles imported directly from the country of origin, meaning they are imported by importers other than the general distributor directly from the car's country of origin. Parallel import cars are also legal products and enter the domestic market after passing 3C certification. Extension: Legitimate parallel import car dealers must provide consumers with the following documents: 1. Certificate of Imported Goods (Customs Declaration). 2. Vehicle Inspection Report (Commodity Inspection). 3. Vehicle Conformity Certificate. 4. Vehicle Purchase Invoice. 5. Imported Vehicle Electronic Information. Compared to joint venture cars and domestically produced cars, parallel import cars have relatively smaller batches, and their after-sales service and warranty may not be guaranteed in the long term.

Is a Driver's License Required for Refueling?

Normally, driving to a gas station does not require any documents, and checks are rarely conducted. However, if you are refueling with a portable container (dispensing loose fuel), you will need your ID card and a certificate from the local police station authorizing the purchase of loose fuel. Relevant information is as follows: Driver's License Regulations: Driving a tanker truck requires an A2 driver's license, with a minimum of three years of driving experience. It is impossible to obtain a hazardous materials transport qualification certificate within two years. This is because to apply for a hazardous materials transport qualification certificate, you must first hold a general cargo transport qualification certificate for at least two years before you can take the exam. Additional Regulations: In addition to the hazardous materials transport qualification certificate, you also need a driver's license, vehicle registration certificate, escort qualification certificate, and general cargo transport qualification certificate. Other requirements include a hazardous materials transport permit for the vehicle, a tank inspection certificate for hazardous materials vehicles, compulsory traffic insurance, and road hazardous goods carrier liability insurance.

Why is the engine shaking intermittently?

If you notice the engine shaking intermittently, it may indicate the following potential issues with the vehicle: 1. Ignition system problems: Check the working condition of spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor performance of the ignition system or suboptimal spark plug firing can lead to such symptoms. 2. Severe engine carbon buildup: The most common cause of vehicle shaking is excessive dirt on the throttle body or carbon deposits in the fuel injectors. 3. Unstable fuel pressure: It is recommended to visit a 4S shop to check whether the fuel supply pressure and intake pressure sensor are functioning normally. Abnormal fuel pump pressure or incorrect readings/malfunction of the intake pressure sensor can cause body vibration.
