Is it necessary to fill up the tank when refueling a new car?
1 Answers
When refueling a new car, it is sufficient to fill it normally until the fuel nozzle automatically stops. Overfilling the tank can easily cause gasoline to enter the activated charcoal canister pipeline, which may severely reduce the canister's working efficiency or even render it ineffective. Additionally, when the charcoal canister is saturated, gasoline vapor may overflow from it, leading to a noticeable gasoline odor inside the car. Precautions for refueling a new car: 1. Choose a reputable gas station: It is essential to select a reputable gas station for refueling a new car. Some gas stations may not guarantee fuel quality. Since the new car is still in the break-in period, it's advisable to choose fuel with assured quality to avoid abnormalities during use, which could affect normal performance and the car's overall functionality. Selecting a reputable gas station ensures fuel quality and benefits the car's break-in process. 2. Avoid waiting until the fuel light comes on: The fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank and operates continuously at high temperatures. Being submerged in fuel helps cool it effectively. When the fuel gauge light comes on, it indicates that the fuel level is below the pump. Frequent occurrences of this situation can shorten the fuel pump's lifespan. Moreover, when the fuel level is low, the pump may draw sediment from the bottom of the tank, potentially clogging the fuel lines.
