Here is the information about the functions of fuel additives: 1. Remove carbon deposits and clean the fuel system: The new generation of fuel additives contains cleaning and activating factors that can promote the removal of harmful substances such as gum deposits in fuel and engine carbon deposits. After adding fuel additives five times consecutively, carbon deposits on the exhaust pipe are significantly reduced, and components such as filters, exhaust valves, and the fuel system become very clean. 2. Enhance power performance: The nano-components in the new generation of fuel additives can absorb and encapsulate gum deposits, generating gaseous "micro-explosions" in the combustion chamber under high temperatures, causing secondary atomization of the fuel and promoting complete combustion, thereby improving engine power. Over 90% of vehicles experience a noticeable increase in power after the first use of fuel additives, especially when the car is underpowered, old, carrying heavy loads, or on long trips, the effect is more pronounced.

I often add fuel additives when refueling, and the results are really good. It mainly cleans carbon deposits inside the engine, allowing the fuel to burn more completely. This makes the car accelerate more smoothly, the throttle response more sensitive, and can reduce average fuel consumption by 5-10%, saving a lot on fuel costs in the long run. Additionally, it prevents clogging of fuel injectors and valves, reduces engine wear, and extends the lifespan of components. I think this stuff is suitable for daily commuter cars—just use one bottle regularly, especially for older vehicles where the effect is more noticeable. Choose reliable brands, avoid buying the cheapest ones, and don’t overuse it, as it might clog the fuel lines. Overall, it’s a small expense with high returns.

After driving for decades, I've found fuel additives to be quite helpful. They improve overall combustion efficiency and make the engine run smoother. Their core function is to remove deposits, preventing carbon buildup that can lead to power loss or stalling issues. Since using them in my car, it starts faster and the exhaust emissions are cleaner. I recommend using them after long trips or city traffic congestion to restore fuel economy. Don't treat them as a cure-all—they're just an aid, and work best when combined with regular maintenance. The key is preventing major repairs, saving both money and hassle.

What are the reasons for the radiator fan of the Baojun 730 not working?

If the engine has reached actual high temperature but the fan fails to activate, it indicates a malfunction in the cooling system. Below is an introduction to the cooling system: 1. Primary function: The main role of the cooling system is to dissipate heat into the air to prevent engine overheating, but the cooling system also serves other important purposes. The engine in a car operates most efficiently at an appropriately high temperature. 2. Secondary function: If the engine becomes too cold, it accelerates component wear, reducing engine efficiency and increasing pollutant emissions. Therefore, another crucial function of the cooling system is to quickly bring the engine up to temperature and maintain it at a constant level.

How to Repair the Rear Fender Sheet Metal of a Car?

Repair the deformed part of the car's metal shell, then apply filler to shape it, and spray special paint to restore the deformed metal surface to match the undamaged areas. Below is additional information: 1. Fender: Also known as a wing panel, the fender is the outer body panel that covers the wheel. Depending on the installation position, it is divided into front fender and rear fender. 2. Function of the Fender: Utilizing fluid dynamics, it reduces the drag coefficient, making the car drive more smoothly. The front fender is installed near the front wheel. Since the front wheel has a steering function, it must ensure the maximum space for the front wheel's turning. Therefore, designers use the "wheel travel diagram" to verify the fender's design dimensions based on the selected tire model and size. The rear fender does not have the issue of wheel rotation interference, but for aerodynamic considerations, it is slightly arched and protrudes outward.

Why is the fuel consumption of the new Buick GL6 so high?

The high fuel consumption of the new Buick GL6 is mainly due to the fact that the vehicle is still in the break-in period during driving, which is a normal phenomenon. Here are some related tips to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Regular vehicle maintenance or tire pressure checks: Timely oil changes can reduce carbon deposits. 2. Maintain an appropriate speed: Try to keep a steady speed while driving, avoiding sudden braking and overtaking. Additionally, maintaining a proper following distance can prevent situations where you have to brake hard and accelerate sharply, thereby reducing fuel consumption. 3. Open windows at low speeds: Generally, when driving at low speeds, you can open the side windows to reduce wind resistance. 4. Plan your route before departure: Planning your driving route in advance can help. For every extra kilometer driven daily, it averages out to an additional three liters of gasoline consumed per month.

What are the differences between the Alphard 20 series and 30 series?

The differences between the Alphard 20 series and 30 series lie in their exterior design. Here are the specific details about the Alphard: 1. Exterior: The Alphard measures 4915/1850/1950mm in length, width, and height, with a body height exceeding 1.9 meters and a wheelbase of 3000mm, setting a new record in its class. It achieves the design goal of 'grandeur, nobility without losing dynamism' through its full-bodied, powerful, and majestic body design, along with a low center of gravity and wide-body layout. 2. Features: The driver's seat features 8-way power adjustment with a 3-position memory function. The most comfortable second-row seats are equipped with 4-way power-adjustable Ottoman first-class seats, featuring three-way headrests, independent armrests, cup holders in the armrests, a multi-function folding table, and a maximum seatback recline of 78 degrees, with a total sliding range of 452mm and a height-adjustable footrest design.

What does 'Please check the engine management system' mean for the Baojun 730?

The meaning of checking the engine system is that you need to inspect the engine to see if there is a fault in the emission system or a problem with the oxygen sensor. The owner should go to a 4S shop to read the fault code and find out the specific reason. Precautions for using car engines: 1. In order to meet the normal operation and service life of the engine and reduce oil consumption, it is necessary to choose a high-end engine oil. Especially for engines with turbochargers, the working temperature is higher and the requirements for engine oil are also higher. 2. Choose high-quality engine oil with a low volatility rate, because oil volatilization is also an important factor leading to engine oil burning. Choosing fully synthetic oil can greatly reduce the occurrence of oil burning and provide comprehensive protection for your car. 3. If signs of oil burning are found in the vehicle, frequently check the oil dipstick, regularly change the oil and oil filter as required by the product manual, and replace genuine oil filter parts. Once abnormal oil loss is found, go to the repair shop for inspection.

What is the displacement of 45tfsi?

45tfsi has a displacement of 3.0L. The number 45 does not represent the car's displacement, but is a figure calculated based on the acceleration G-value. A larger number indicates a higher G-value during acceleration, meaning stronger power. The "tfsi" following 45 stands for Turbocharged Fuel Stratified Injection engine. The tfsi engine is an upgraded version of the fsi engine. The fsi engine can adopt stratified lean combustion to improve fuel economy. During stratified combustion, the surrounding air acts as a thermal insulation layer, reducing heat transfer loss through the walls. Lean combustion can also reduce the tendency for knocking, allowing the engine to use a higher compression ratio to enhance fuel economy.
