How to Deal with High Fuel Consumption?
1 Answers
To address high fuel consumption, it's essential to first understand its causes. The related explanations are as follows: 1. Driver's skill level: Unreasonable gear shifting and excessive braking during driving artificially increase engine power loss. Additionally, frequent braking leads to more starts, as the fuel consumption rate is very high during starting. Low-temperature driving: The engine is designed to operate at normal temperatures (80°C to 90°C). If the car is driven without preheating after starting, the engine remains at a low temperature, resulting in poor atomization of the air-fuel mixture and incomplete combustion. 2. Engine technical condition: The fuel level in the carburetor float chamber is too high; the air filter is excessively dirty, or the carburetor air jets are clogged; the carburetor fuel jets have been enlarged by fuel erosion over long-term use; the idle speed is adjusted too high; the semi-horizontal hole in the float chamber is blocked, causing siphoning, etc.
