No. Whether gasoline is ethanol-blended depends on the letter before the number. Ethanol-blended gasoline is marked with the letter E before the octane rating, such as E92 gasoline, which is ethanol-blended. Pure gasoline is directly labeled with numbers like 95 gasoline. Ethanol-blended gasoline: The gasoline commonly referred to is unleaded gasoline (containing trace amounts of lead), while ethanol-blended gasoline refers to the addition of a certain proportion of fuel ethanol (commonly known as alcohol) to regular unleaded gasoline. In China, this proportion is 10%. In simple terms, it means adding 10% biofuel ethanol to gasoline. Precautions for using ethanol-blended gasoline: For cars that have been driven more than 30,000 kilometers, if the fuel tank and fuel lines are not cleaned before using ethanol-blended gasoline for the first time, it may easily cause fuel line blockage and engine stalling. Even after cleaning, a small amount of impurities may still enter the fuel tank. After using the first tank of ethanol-blended gasoline, the car should be inspected and cleaned. However, for new cars with a mileage of less than 30,000 kilometers, the fuel tank and fuel lines do not need to be cleaned before adding ethanol-blended gasoline.

Do I Need to Replace the Entire Grille if One Bar is Broken?

Generally speaking, if one bar of the grille is broken, it can be easily repaired using 502 adhesive, and it will not affect the vehicle's driving safety at all. However, the repaired effect is certainly not as good as a brand-new one, so perfectionists would definitely opt for a complete replacement. Relevant information about the intake pressure sensor is as follows: 1. Introduction: The intake pressure sensor (Manifold-Absolute-Pressure-Sensor), abbreviated as MAP. It connects to the intake manifold via a vacuum tube, sensing the vacuum changes inside the intake manifold as the engine speed and load vary. The changes in internal resistance of the sensor are then converted into a voltage signal for the ECU to adjust the fuel injection quantity and ignition timing angle. 2. Working Principle: The intake pressure sensor detects the absolute pressure in the intake manifold behind the throttle. It senses the changes in absolute pressure within the manifold based on the engine speed and load, then converts this into a signal voltage sent to the engine control unit (ECU). The ECU uses the magnitude of this signal voltage to control the basic fuel injection quantity.
