What are the effects of leaving the engine running overnight?
1 Answers
The effects of leaving the engine running overnight are as follows: Increased hydraulic oil temperature: Since the engine has been running all night, it is inevitable that the temperature of the hydraulic oil will continuously rise. Moreover, during prolonged idling, the vehicle's hydraulic pump pressure will gradually decrease, leading to poor hydraulic oil circulation. This makes it difficult for the hydraulic oil to dissipate heat, causing the temperature to keep rising. Increased carbon deposits: Leaving the engine running overnight results in excessively long idling time, causing gasoline to be sprayed onto the valves. This leads to more carbon deposits, which can affect the vehicle's power and increase fuel consumption. Higher fuel consumption: In addition to increased carbon deposits leading to higher fuel consumption, the reduced speed of the water pump slows down the engine's cooling effect, requiring the use of electric fans for heat dissipation. This significantly increases the vehicle's fuel consumption.
