An urban fuel consumption of 10L/100km is normal. Fuel-saving methods: Insufficient tire pressure increases friction between tires and the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption. Therefore, regularly check tire pressure, as different vehicle models and tires have different pressure standards. If tires are severely worn, slipping may occur, increasing fuel consumption, so replace tires when necessary. Check the braking system: Some vehicles may experience slight brake drag, effectively increasing the vehicle's load during driving and raising fuel consumption, so regular checks are essential. Regular maintenance and part replacements—such as air filters, fuel filters, and oil filters—should be performed every 5,000 kilometers or more, as a clogged air filter reduces airflow, leading to incomplete fuel combustion and lower fuel efficiency. Worn clutch plates, clutch pressure plates, and spark plugs that have been used for too long can also increase fuel consumption, so they should be replaced periodically.

What to Do When a Motorcycle Won't Start After Sitting for a Long Time?

Motorcycle sitting for several years won't start, the reasons and solutions are as follows: 1. Carburetor blockage: The gasoline inside the carburetor will evaporate and deteriorate, forming sticky substances that block the carburetor's spray holes, preventing fuel injection and causing failure to start. Simply remove the carburetor, clean it thoroughly, unclog all the spray holes inside the carburetor, and then reinstall it. 2. Battery depletion or failure: You can charge the battery with a charger; if it doesn't hold a charge, replace it with a new one. Below is some relevant information about the carburetor: 1. Working principle: The carburetor is essentially a tube with an adjustable plate called a throttle valve in the middle, used to control the airflow through the tube. 2. Definition: The carburetor is a mechanical device that mixes a certain proportion of gasoline with air under the vacuum generated by the engine's operation.

What is the fuel consumption of a 1.5L car per 100 kilometers?

1.5L cars consume 6 to 8L of fuel per 100 kilometers. Fuel consumption under different road conditions: The fuel consumption of a 1.5L displacement vehicle varies with driving speed. When driving on highways at a speed of about 90 kilometers per hour, the fuel consumption is around 6.5L per 100 kilometers; the comprehensive fuel consumption for urban and suburban road driving is approximately 7.5 liters. Method for calculating car fuel consumption: Divide the actual fuel consumption by the actual distance traveled. That is, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers equals fuel consumption (liters) divided by distance traveled (kilometers) multiplied by 100. For example, if a 1.6L car travels 500 kilometers and consumes 40 liters of fuel, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers equals 40/500x100, which is 8 liters.

What is the normal cylinder pressure for an engine?

For gasoline engines, the cylinder pressure is generally between 8-11 bar, while for diesel engines, it is typically between 12-16 bar. Introduction to cylinder pressure in gasoline engines: For a four-cylinder engine, a pressure of no less than 7 bar is considered normal. Cylinder pressure varies by vehicle model. Generally, large vehicles (such as Dongfeng 140 and Jiefang 141) have a normal range of 6-8 kg, while small cars should have a pressure above 8 kg. If the pressure is below the normal range, it can be determined that the engine has a fault. Precautions for cylinder pressure in gasoline engines: Carefully remove all spark plugs, as inspecting them can reveal many issues. Oily spark plugs indicate wear between the piston rings and cylinder walls or worn valve guides. Burnt spark plugs suggest vacuum leakage. Using a starter to rotate the engine too slowly can lead to inaccurate results.

How to Remove the Grille?

Open the front hood, remove the 4 nuts on top of the front bumper, lift the front bumper upwards, and then pull it outwards to remove the car grille. Below is more information about car grilles: 1. Introduction: (1) The main function of a car grille is to provide air intake and ventilation for the radiator, engine, air conditioning, etc., and to prevent external objects from damaging internal components while driving. (2) In automotive engineering, the grille is used to cover the body to allow air to enter. 2. Materials: (1) Metal grilles originated in the American modified car market in the 1980s and quickly became popular. Currently, the material for metal grilles is mainly aviation aluminum as the base material. (2) Aviation aluminum metal grilles use advanced mirror polishing technology on the surface, achieving a brightness level comparable to optical mirrors. The back end is treated with black anti-oxidation, giving the surface grille a more three-dimensional effect.
