It is necessary to turn off the engine when refueling a car. Below are the hazards of refueling without turning off the engine and the precautions for refueling: Hazards of refueling without turning off the engine: When refueling at a gas station, if the vehicle is not turned off, even though the car body is stationary, the engine is still running at high speed. A running engine inevitably involves electrical current flow, and if there is a short circuit or leakage in the circuit at this time, it can be extremely dangerous. Precautions for refueling: Before refueling, the vehicle must enter the gas station at a slow speed and exit slowly after refueling; during refueling, the vehicle must be turned off before refueling; during the refueling process, if the gas station attendant has not turned off the fuel nozzle, the car must absolutely not be started.

What is the Anti-Knock Property of Gasoline?

Gasoline's anti-knock property refers to its ability to resist knocking during combustion in an engine, which is a primary indicator of gasoline's combustion performance. A strong anti-knock property allows for the use of higher compression ratio engines, effectively increasing engine power, reducing fuel consumption, and improving engine economy. The causes of gasoline knocking include: 1. The collision between unburned fuel-air mixture in the combustion chamber and the normally burning flame leading to gasoline knocking; 2. Excessive engine carbon deposits increasing the compression ratio and causing gasoline knocking; 3. High engine temperature or poor engine cooling water circulation leading to engine overheating and gasoline knocking.

Is a higher or lower tire aspect ratio better?

Both high and low aspect ratios have their own advantages, and neither is inherently better. Here is the relevant information: 1. Vehicles designed for off-road driving use tires with a high aspect ratio. These tires have long sidewalls and a thick air layer in the middle, providing strong cushioning ability. In contrast, low aspect ratio tires have short sidewalls and a relatively thin air layer in the middle. 2. Therefore, there is no absolute good or bad when it comes to aspect ratio. The key is to consider the type of vehicle and the desired driving experience, then choose the appropriate tire aspect ratio for your car. Typically, the aspect ratio for family sedans falls between 45 and 60.

How often should a road bike chain be replaced?

It is recommended to replace it every 3-4 years. Timing Belt: The "timing belt" or "timing chain" is an important component of the engine. Function of the Timing Belt: The main function of the "timing belt" or "timing chain" is to drive the engine's valve train, ensuring that the engine's intake and exhaust valves open and close at the appropriate times to allow the engine's cylinders to properly intake and exhaust air. In some vehicle models, the timing belt also drives the water pump, such as in Volkswagen models like the Jetta EFI, Bora, Sagitar, and Audi.

What Causes Abnormal Noise When Pressing the Accelerator Pedal?

There are three main reasons for abnormal noise when pressing the accelerator pedal. Fuel Pump Motor Noise: When the internal components of the fuel pump motor are worn or contaminated with impurities, abnormal noise occurs when pressing the accelerator. This issue requires replacing the fuel pump. Throttle Body Noise: Modern throttle bodies use electronic control, with a motor regulating the valve opening and closing. When the motor gears wear out, insufficient engagement causes noise. Excessive carbon deposits or sludge in the throttle body can also lead to noise. Cleaning the throttle body may resolve this. Clutch Release Bearing Damage: Incomplete clutch disengagement generates noise, requiring removal of the clutch to replace the release bearing.
