It is necessary to repair a slightly deformed wheel hub. The repair methods are as follows: 1. First, pad the dented area with a sponge or cloth, then use a hammer to forcefully flatten the dented part; 2. After smoothing out the uneven areas, sand the inside of the wheel hub with sandpaper; 3. Since the original wheel hub is made of aluminum alloy with its natural color, which cannot be replicated by any paint, the entire hub must be repainted. Use an automotive spray paint that closely matches the original color of the wheel hub to repaint the entire inside, then let the paint dry. The wheel hub is a cylindrical metal component that supports the tire and is mounted on the axle, also known as the rim or steel wheel. Depending on the characteristics and requirements of different vehicle models, the surface treatment process of the wheel hub may vary, generally categorized into painting and plating.

Why Does the Average Fuel Consumption Suddenly Increase After Refueling?

After refueling, the car's fuel consumption will show a particularly noticeable increase. The reason is that the initial fuel consumption calculation is basically fuel consumption divided by mileage, combined with speed calculation, and since the distance is almost zero, the fuel consumption will be very high. As speed, road conditions, and mileage increase, the fuel consumption will tend to normalize. The precautions for refueling are as follows: 1. Refuel in advance: Try not to wait until the fuel is completely exhausted before refueling, as this can easily reduce the lubrication effect of the engine and affect its service life. 2. Go to a regular gas station: When refueling, go to a regular gas station to add high-quality fuel, which helps the engine work and can also extend its service life. 3. Do not mix fuels: Different types of fuel should not be mixed, otherwise it may damage the engine, and in severe cases, the engine may be directly scrapped.
