When a new car leaves the factory, the amount of fuel in the tank is generally the vehicle's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers plus 2~3 liters. For example, a model with a fuel consumption of 6 liters per 100 kilometers is usually filled with 8~9 liters of fuel; a model with a fuel consumption of 10 liters per 100 kilometers is typically filled with 13~15 liters, and so on. By this logic, models with higher fuel consumption and larger fuel tanks generally have more reserve fuel. Below is additional information: 1. Precautions: Low fuel levels can cause overheating and burnout, and insufficient fuel can also result in low pressure in the high-pressure fuel pump, leading to abnormal engine operation. Therefore, it is important to refuel promptly after purchasing a new car. 2. Fuel Tank Maintenance: Fuel tank maintenance primarily involves combining it with the car's primary maintenance, draining accumulated water and sediment from the tank, and checking for any fuel leaks at fuel pipe joints and switches.

What is the correct method for adding coolant?

Correct steps for adding antifreeze to a car: 1. Add antifreeze from the radiator filler port until the radiator is full. Unscrew the reservoir cap, add antifreeze up to the "Max" mark, being careful not to exceed it. 2. Replace and tighten both the radiator cap and the reservoir cap. 3. Start the engine and let it idle for 2-3 minutes, then open the radiator cap. As some air is expelled from the cooling system, the antifreeze level will drop. At this point, add more antifreeze until it reaches the "Max" mark again. 4. Securely close the radiator cap.

What are the components of a high-pressure fuel system?

The components of a high-pressure fuel system include: high-pressure fuel pump, pressure regulator valve, high-pressure fuel rail, high-pressure fuel pressure sensor, fuel injector, and high-pressure fuel lines. The high-pressure fuel pump is driven by a square cam at the intake camshaft end, and the pressure relief valve is integrated inside the high-pressure fuel pump, eliminating the need for a return line from the fuel rail to the low-pressure side. The control principle of the high-pressure fuel pump has changed. During the initial operation of the high-pressure pump, the pressure relief valve remains closed, allowing fuel pressure to directly reach the fuel rail. This design benefits cold starts by enabling faster fuel pressure buildup. The fuel pressure limiter valve, integrated within the high-pressure fuel pump, provides overpressure protection for the system in cases of fuel thermal expansion or malfunctions.

What Causes Gear Shift Hesitation in the Transmission?

Transmission shift hesitation is caused by: the need to replace transmission oil, which is essentially the gear oil inside the transmission and requires regular replacement. Failure to replace it promptly can significantly reduce its lubrication effectiveness, leading to a substantial increase in shifting resistance and making gear changes feel rough. Transmission oil is essential for maintaining the cleanliness of the transmission system, ensuring it operates normally and extending the lifespan of the vehicle's drivetrain components. Depending on the transmission type, transmission oil can be categorized into manual transmission oil and automatic transmission oil. Automatic transmission oil, also known as ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid), serves both as a hydraulic fluid and a lubricant, functioning in different parts of the vehicle.

What are the reasons why an automatic transmission car does not move when shifted to D gear?

Automatic transmission cars may not move after shifting to D gear due to the following reasons: 1. The transmission shift valve position sensor signal is incorrect, making it unable to detect the current gear; 2. The shift valve is malfunctioning, causing incomplete gear engagement and failure to open the oil passage; 3. The transmission solenoid valve or electronic module is faulty; 4. Insufficient transmission fluid or low internal oil pressure; 5. Brake lock-up preventing the wheels from moving forward, accompanied by abnormal noise when accelerating; 6. The handbrake is not fully released or not disengaged completely.

How many liters of brake fluid are generally needed for a car?

Generally, 1 liter of brake fluid is sufficient for a car. When replacing, it is essential to use brake fluid of the same grade as the original. The brake fluid grade is indicated on the brake fluid cap. When changing brake fluid, it's important to pay attention to the replacement interval, which varies depending on different climatic environments. Additionally, the choice of brake fluid is crucial—it must be of the same grade, and brake fluids from different brands should not be mixed. Automotive brake fluid is the liquid used in hydraulic braking systems. It must not undergo chemical reactions, be unaffected by high temperatures, and should not cause corrosion, softening, or expansion to metals and rubber. Commonly used types include DOT3, DOT4, and DOT5.
