It should be stored in metal containers, avoiding the use of plastic barrels and glass bottles. Always tighten the gasoline can lid to prevent gas evaporation. Below is relevant information about gasoline: 1. Color identification: If the color darkens, it indicates that the gasoline has been stored for too long and has undergone a reaction. 2. Smell test: Gasoline has a faint aromatic odor due to the presence of aromatic acids in it; you can lightly sniff the gasoline to detect its smell. 3. Practical testing: Measure the octane number and density of the gasoline. Theoretically, the higher the octane number, the more resistant it is to burning. Additionally, gasoline density is best between 0.735 and 0.745. Currently, gasoline at gas stations is generally National Standard IV gasoline, with octane numbers typically between 93% and 94%. There is also National Standard V 92-octane gasoline, with octane numbers generally between 92% and 93%, as well as higher-grade 97 and 98-octane gasoline.

Where to Apply for Driver's License Renewal?

Driver's license renewal is processed at the vehicle management office. Below are important notes for expired driver's licenses: 1. Legal provisions: According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, if the license is not renewed for more than one year after expiration, the motor vehicle driver's license will be automatically revoked; if it exceeds two years, the normal use of the license can be restored after passing the subject one exam; if revoked for more than two years, you need to reapply. 2. Invalid license: It is particularly important to note that you must not drive a motor vehicle after your driver's license has expired. Driving with an expired license is considered driving without a license or as unlicensed driving. Penalties for driving a motor vehicle include fines and possibly detention for up to 15 days. In the event of serious traffic accidents resulting in personal injury or death, criminal liability will be pursued according to the law.

What are the effects of chain elongation?

The symptoms of timing chain elongation include: engine vibration and incorrect ignition timing. Below is an introduction to the engine: 1. Introduction: An engine is a machine that converts other forms of energy into mechanical energy. The first external combustion engine was invented by R. Stirling in the UK (Scotland) in 1816 and later improved by Watt into the steam engine. 2. Displacement: Let's first look at one of the most common engine parameters—engine displacement. Engine displacement is the total volume of all the cylinders in the engine, usually measured in liters (L). 3. Classification: Engines can refer to both power generation devices and the entire machine including the power unit (e.g., gasoline engines, aircraft engines). Types include internal combustion engines (such as gasoline engines), external combustion engines (such as Stirling engines, steam engines), gas turbines (used in racing cars), and electric motors.

Is a Coolant Temperature of 102 Degrees Normal?

Coolant temperature of 102 degrees is normal. Below is an introduction about coolant: 1. Introduction: Coolant, the full name should be antifreeze coolant, meaning it has antifreeze functionality. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding in cold seasons when the vehicle is parked, which could crack the radiator and damage the engine cylinder block. However, it's important to correct a misconception: antifreeze is not just for winter use; it should be used year-round. In regular vehicle maintenance, the engine antifreeze should be replaced every year. 2. Composition: Coolant consists of three parts: water, antifreeze, and additives. Depending on the antifreeze component, it can be classified into alcohol-based, glycerol-based, ethylene glycol-based, and other types of coolant. 3. Function: To prevent the coolant from freezing and causing the radiator or engine block to crack after the vehicle is parked in winter, the freezing point of the coolant should be about 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in the region, in case of sudden weather changes.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the Xingyue L 2.0t?

The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Xingyue L 2.0t is 6.8-7.8L/100km. There are a total of 7 models of the Xingyue L 2.0t currently on sale. The two-wheel drive luxury model, two-wheel drive flagship model, two-wheel drive premium model, four-wheel drive flagship model, and four-wheel drive premium model have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.8L/100km. The two-wheel drive intelligent premium model and two-wheel drive comfort model have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.8L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 8.0-10.4L/100km. The level of a car's fuel consumption is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before encountering a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Cars with greater weight also consume more fuel because greater weight requires larger driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block temperature is low, the gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.

Which manufacturer produces Navigator engine oil?

Navigator engine oil is Shell Helix oil, originally produced in the Netherlands. The following is an introduction about engine oil: 1. Introduction: Engine oil, motor oil, or engine lubricant is a substance enhanced with additives in base oil, mainly containing anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade viscosity index improvers. Engine oil is used for lubricating internal combustion engines. 2. Functions: The main functions of engine oil are to reduce friction and wear of moving parts, and to remove sludge (one of the functions of dispersants) and varnish (detergents) from the engine. It also neutralizes acids from fuel and lubricant oxidation (detergents), improves the sealing of piston rings, and cools the engine by carrying away heat from moving parts. 3. Performance: Most engine oils are made from heavier, more viscous petroleum hydrocarbon base oils derived from crude oil, with additives to improve certain properties. Most typical engine oils mainly consist of hydrocarbons with 18 to 34 carbon atoms per molecule.

What is the difference between clutch tightness and looseness?

Clutch tightness or throttle tightness is adjusted by springs or tension springs. Here is an introduction to the clutch: 1. Introduction: The clutch is located in the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. During driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine and transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power input from the engine to the transmission. 2. Basic requirements: Smooth engagement, quick and thorough separation; easy adjustment and repair; small external dimensions; light weight; good wear resistance and sufficient heat dissipation capacity; easy and effortless operation. Commonly divided into jaw-type and friction-type. 3. Classification: Clutches are divided into four types: electromagnetic clutches, magnetic particle clutches, friction clutches, and hydraulic clutches.
