Fuel tank cleaner is necessary to use as it can remove dirt from the fuel tank and also clean carbon deposits from the engine. After a period of use, carbon deposits may accumulate on the intake valves, fuel injectors, and combustion chamber walls of the engine. Using fuel cleaner can help remove these carbon deposits. The fuel tank consists of a tank body and a fuel cap, used to store gasoline. The number and capacity of fuel tanks vary depending on the vehicle model. Ordinary cars usually have only one gasoline tank, while off-road vehicles often have two. Gasoline is a volatile and flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid obtained from petroleum through distillation, cracking, or pyrolysis, and it can be used as fuel.

Can a car undergo annual inspection in advance?

Yes, a car can undergo annual inspection in advance. It can be inspected up to three months before the due date. For example, if the vehicle's inspection validity expires in September of this year, the annual inspection period would be from July 1st to September 30th of the same year. There are several ways to check the annual inspection time. The most straightforward method is to refer to the vehicle's registration date on the driving license or the electronic policy of compulsory traffic insurance. The registration month indicates the month when the annual inspection is due. Additionally, you can directly observe the annual inspection sticker, which clearly states the validity period of the inspection. Points to note for annual inspection: Vehicles that fail the annual inspection must be repaired within a specified time limit. If they still fail after the deadline, the vehicle management office will confiscate their license plates and prohibit further operation. Vehicles that do not undergo the annual inspection without reason or fail the inspection are not allowed to operate on the road or transfer ownership. Vehicles that meet the scrapping conditions or exceed the prescribed service life will not be inspected, and their license plates will be revoked, records deleted, and the vehicles scrapped.

Why Does Water Spray Out When Opening the Radiator Cap?

Generally, this is due to thermal expansion and contraction, which is a normal phenomenon. Below is relevant information about diesel radiators: 1. Function: To cool the engine's water. In summer, it's necessary to switch to summer antifreeze coolant for cooling purposes. The boiling point of antifreeze is around 108 degrees Celsius, higher than that of water, preventing overheating. In winter, winter-specific antifreeze should be used to ensure it doesn't freeze outdoors while still providing cooling. Higher-grade antifreeze should withstand temperatures as low as -60 degrees Celsius. 2. Cleaning Method: First, prepare a cleaning solution with 30 kg of water, 2.5 kg of caustic soda, and 0.6 kg of kerosene, then pour it into the radiator. Start the diesel engine and run it at medium speed for about 10 minutes before shutting it off. After 10 to 12 hours, restart the diesel engine and run it at medium speed for another 10 minutes before shutting it off again to drain the cleaning solution. Add clean cooling water, start the diesel engine, and let it run at medium speed for self-cleaning. Repeat this process 2 to 3 times to completely remove scale buildup.

Does the Buick Excelle require battery matching when replacing?

Matching is mandatory. Detailed explanations are as follows: 1. Function of the battery: The battery serves as a power source, supplying electricity to the car's starter and ignition system, and also distributes stable DC power to the vehicle's electrical appliances, ensuring that the electronic circuit system remains powered normally even when the car is parked. The battery also plays a role in stabilizing voltage, maintaining voltage stability during high-speed operation of the car, thereby protecting electrical appliances. 2. Hazards of mismatched batteries: (1) Operational faults: If a regular battery is installed, it may lead to insufficient current supply for the starter's operation, resulting in operational faults and potentially severe issues such as inadequate rotation speed. If the starter is damaged, the cost of replacing it far exceeds that of an auto start-stop battery. (2) Power management system faults: The standards for the power management system differ. Vehicles equipped with auto start-stop functionality have current, voltage, and power distribution calibrated according to the original battery specifications. If a regular battery is installed, the vehicle's internal power management system will still control the current based on the original standards, which can easily cause power management system faults or even system incompatibility with the power source, ultimately preventing the car from starting.

What Causes a Single-Cylinder Diesel Engine to Stop Supplying Fuel?

The negative pressure ventilation device of the fuel tank cap may be stuck or damaged. When the engine is running and the fuel level in the tank decreases, the air pressure inside the tank drops. Below is more information about the fuel tank: 1. Refueling amount: It is appropriate to refuel when there is a quarter of fuel left in the car's tank. If it falls below a quarter, it may affect the cooling capability of the vehicle's fuel pump. The fuel consumption of a car is influenced by factors such as the engine's displacement, tire size specifications, and vehicle weight. 2. Fuel tank cap identification: The interior switch may be located in different positions, such as on the floor to the left of the driver's seat, on the panel of the left front door, or on the center console. The identifier is typically a fuel pump icon. 3. Handling fuel leaks: After all passengers have exited the vehicle, do not close the doors. Keep at least one door open for ventilation to prevent the high concentration of evaporated gasoline from causing accidents. It is important to note that everyone should stay away from the car and stand off the road, ensuring safety before calling for assistance.

What to Do When the Car Pulls to One Side?

If the car pulls to one side, first check whether the tire wear is even under normal tire pressure, and replace the tires in time if there is a problem. Then check whether the lower control arm, ball joint, and CV joint are normal. If everything is normal, you can only perform a four-wheel alignment first and then make corresponding adjustments. You can also adjust the tie rod to solve the car's pulling problem. Here are the specific reasons for the car pulling to one side: 1. The tie rod is an important part of the car's steering mechanism, which directly affects the stability of the car's handling, the safety of operation, and the service life of the tires. Secondly, check the stabilizer bar and steering gear. The steering gear may be mechanical and worn too much, or the steering tie rod may have excessive clearance. All these should be checked before alignment. If no parts are damaged, it may be that the steering gear has excessive clearance, and the misaligned steering wheel can be corrected by adjusting the toe-in. If the steering gear is problematic, it can also be replaced. 2. When the front shock absorber springs are deformed and the damping on both sides is inconsistent, it can also cause the car to pull to one side. The condition of the shock absorber springs can be judged by pressing or comparing after disassembly. When the front shock absorber fails, the two suspensions are at different heights during driving, resulting in uneven force distribution and causing the car to pull to one side. The absorption of the shock absorber can be tested with a special testing device to determine its condition. If disassembly is not possible, the condition can be judged by stretching.

What are the center console buttons of the Buick Excelle?

Buick Excelle center console buttons are specifically introduced as follows: (1) Center console buttons: 1. Electronic Stability Program (ESP): The system is enabled by default. Unless on slippery roads such as rain or snow, it is generally not recommended to turn it off. 2. Auto Start-Stop: Briefly turns off the engine at traffic lights. The vehicle will restart when the driver's foot leaves the brake pedal. 3. Recirculation/Fresh Air: Recirculation heats or cools the air inside the car and sends it back, while fresh air allows outside air to enter the car. Use recirculation first in traffic jams, tunnels, and other situations where outside air quality does not meet standards. On highways, switch from recirculation to fresh air periodically, and it is best not to exceed 1 hour of recirculation. 4. Temperature Zone Sync (some models): When the temperature zone sync function is turned on, only the driver's temperature needs to be adjusted, and other zones will follow the same changes. After turning off this function, each zone can be set individually to meet the needs of passengers in different positions. (2) Door buttons: 1. Window lock button. 2. One-touch window control switch. (3) Roof buttons: 1. Sunroof horizontal opening. 2. Driver's reading light. 3. Passenger's reading light. 4. Sunroof tilt opening.
