Fuel additives must be added to an empty tank. Before refueling the car, add the fuel additive to the fuel tank according to the recommended ratio, and then refuel. This way, the added fuel additive will quickly dissolve fully under the impact and vortex stirring of the fuel, mixing more evenly with the fuel. Here are some precautions for using fuel additives: 1. Fuel additives are not suitable for new cars: The addition of fuel additives is not suitable for new cars, as their performance is still relatively good. Adding fuel additives would be wasteful, so they are more suitable for older vehicles. 2. Do not overuse: The amount of fuel additive added should not exceed the recommended dosage. The standard must be followed according to the instructions, as adding too little or too much will not achieve the perfect presentation of its various effects. Additionally, fuel additives are generally added every 5,000 km, with 6 additions constituting one cycle. Continuous addition is necessary without interruption. After 2 cycles, issues such as carbon deposits in the fuel system will improve.

What causes the sudden failure of electric car windows to roll up or down?

This situation is usually caused by damage to the power window regulator on the driver's side. Below is relevant information about car windows: 1. Types: Car windows are generally divided into four categories - front and rear windshields, ventilation windows, heat-insulating side windows, and sunroofs. The front and rear windows of cars typically use curved glass that provides good visibility and aesthetic appeal, secured with rubber sealing strips embedded in the window frames or special adhesives. For natural ventilation, side windows are usually designed to move up/down or forward/backward. 2. Window materials: As early as 80 years ago, glass was already installed on Ford's Model T vehicles, using flat glass at the front of the cabin to protect drivers from wind and rain. In the following decades, the glass industry gradually became involved in automobile manufacturing, developing various types of safety glass - laminated glass, tempered glass, and zoned tempered glass - significantly improving the performance of automotive glass.

What Causes Abnormal Noise in Car Air Conditioning Blower?

The car blower is a core component of the car air conditioning system. When abnormal noise occurs, it may be due to foreign objects in the blower or motor failure. Here are the specific details: Foreign objects in the blower: If the abnormal noise changes with the air volume adjustment, it is likely that there are foreign objects inside the blower. Simply removing the foreign objects should resolve the issue. If the noise persists after cleaning, it is necessary to disassemble the blower to inspect the specific cause of the fault. Motor failure: If the abnormal noise only occurs when adjusting the air volume or direction, it is likely due to motor failure or other faults. In this case, you need to open the engine compartment to check which part is causing resonance and perform disassembly and reassembly after careful inspection.
