What are the causes of engine hose rupture?
2 Answers
It may be due to insufficient engine coolant or a malfunction of the water temperature sensor or gauge. Below is relevant information about gasoline engines: 1. Introduction: A gasoline engine is an internal combustion engine that converts thermal energy into kinetic energy using gasoline as fuel. Due to gasoline's low viscosity and rapid evaporation, a fuel injection system can spray gasoline into the cylinders. After compression reaches certain temperature and pressure levels, a spark plug ignites the mixture, causing gas expansion to perform work. 2. Characteristics: Gasoline engines are characterized by high rotational speed, simple structure, lightweight, low cost, smooth operation, and convenient maintenance. They are widely used in automobiles, especially in small vehicles.
Last time my car's hose burst, causing white smoke to fill the entire engine bay, and it wasn't until it was towed to the repair shop that the issue was identified. Now, whenever I feel hoses that are hard or brittle, I remind people around me to replace them—rubber just can't withstand the test of time. For cars over five years old, it's essential to pop the hood every year and check the hoses by squeezing them. Coolant that's expired, deteriorated, or turned acidic is even worse; it corrodes the inner walls of the hoses like sandpaper, and under the high temperature and pressure of highway driving, they can burst. Oh, and I've even seen the rookie mistake of loose clamps—mechanics just clamping them carelessly, only for the hose to 'pop' right off the connection when the temperature rises. Modified turbocharged old cars need extra caution, as the pressure can be two to three times higher than stock, and ordinary hoses simply can't handle it.
