How Often Should You Refuel Your Car?
1 Answers
Car refueling is typically needed every 4-5 days. Here are precautions for refueling: 1. Avoid refueling immediately after a fuel delivery at the gas station. The bottom of fuel storage tanks always contains some settled water and impurities, which may get stirred up during delivery and mix with the fuel. Using such contaminated fuel can clog fuel lines and damage the engine. 2. Never refuel during thunderstorms, as the fuel nozzle may conduct stray electric currents into the fuel tank, increasing movement of unstable gasoline molecules and potentially causing fire or explosion hazards. 3. Be cautious in extreme weather: Avoid refueling right after typhoons or heavy rain. Prolonged severe weather may cause leaks, and accumulated rainwater might seep into storage tanks, negatively affecting engine lifespan.
