Gasoline additive addition method is: 1. Before adding fuel additives, confirm the gasoline content in the fuel tank, and add when gasoline needs to be added; 2. Park the car next to the fuel dispenser and open the gasoline cap; 3. Open the fuel additive bottle cap and pour it into the fuel tank; 4. Fill the fuel tank to utilize the gasoline's impact to disperse the additive and mix it with gasoline. The functions of gasoline additives are: 1. Remove carbon deposits and clean the fuel system; 2. Enhance power performance; 3. Improve atomization and increase thermal efficiency; 4. Prevent corrosion, rust, and lubricate to protect the engine; 5. Reduce noise, decrease wear, and extend engine life; 6. Eliminate black smoke and reduce emissions.

When I first bought my car, I was also quite confused about how to add fuel additives. Later, I found it actually quite straightforward. First, find a good time, such as before refueling, open the fuel tank cap (be careful not to get it dirty), and then pour in the entire bottle or the amount specified by the product instructions. Wait a minute or two to let the liquid mix initially, then refuel as usual to help disperse it evenly. This trick can clean engine carbon deposits and improve fuel combustion efficiency. After each addition, driving feels smoother with better acceleration. I recommend choosing a reputable brand and not going for the cheapest options, as excessive additives might corrode the pipes. Adding it regularly every 5,000 kilometers or so can both maintain the car and save some fuel costs. Doing it yourself is quite convenient, but the key is to operate safely and avoid spills.

What is the difference between the Land Cruiser H4 and L4?

H4 stands for High-speed 4WD, while L4 stands for Low-speed 4WD. Both are terms for four-wheel drive systems, with the difference being high-speed and low-speed. Different four-wheel drive modes should be used according to different environments to help the vehicle achieve better driving performance. Below are the detailed explanations: 1. Four-Wheel Drive (4WD): "Four-Wheel Drive" refers to a vehicle that maintains four-wheel drive throughout the entire driving process. The engine's output torque is distributed to the front and rear wheels in a fixed ratio. This driving mode ensures excellent off-road and handling performance at all times, but it cannot adjust torque distribution based on road conditions and has higher fuel consumption. 2. Land Cruiser: The English name of the Land Cruiser is Land-Cruiser. In 1996, Toyota officially renamed the FJ90 model of the Land Cruiser to the Land Cruiser Prado. Since then, the Prado has become a branch model of the Land Cruiser and has gradually developed independently, now trending towards parallel development with the Land Cruiser.

Why Does the Brake Pump Fail?

Reasons for brake pump failure: Long-term wear of brake pads and misalignment of the brake disc surface. It is recommended to re-grind the disc or replace the brake pads. Symptoms of a faulty car brake pump: 1. Soft brakes; 2. Sudden brake failure; 3. Brake pulling to one side; 4. Brake pedal not returning or slow to return. The brake pump is an indispensable component of the braking system, primarily responsible for pushing the brake pads, which then rub against the brake drum to slow down or stop the vehicle. When the brake is pressed, the master cylinder generates thrust to push hydraulic fluid to the wheel cylinders, where the internal pistons move under hydraulic pressure to push the brake pads.

What Causes Sudden Engine Shaking During Ignition?

Reasons for sudden engine shaking during ignition: 1. Misfire in individual cylinders: The main issue lies in malfunctioning or damaged ignition coils causing single or multiple cylinder misfires, particularly noticeable during ignition; 2. Excessive engine carbon buildup: When carbon deposits accumulate to a certain level in the engine, detonation occurs, leading to abnormal engine shaking; 3. Blocked intake/exhaust system: If the engine's breathing is obstructed; 4. Damaged engine mounts: When engine mounts are damaged, not only does the engine lose vibration damping, but severe shaking also occurs during ignition, especially noticeable during rapid acceleration or deceleration.
