Here are the specific precautions for using a dual fuel tank switching valve: 1. During winter startup: Use the diesel from the auxiliary fuel tank for supply. Only after the diesel in the main fuel tank has warmed up (typically when the engine coolant temperature reaches 60-70 degrees) and the wax at the fuel suction port has melted, can you press the switch to change the supply from the auxiliary fuel tank to the main fuel tank. At this point, the indicator light on the switch will illuminate, indicating that the engine is being supplied by the main fuel tank. 2. When parking for more than half an hour in winter: You must switch the diesel supply from the main fuel tank to the auxiliary fuel tank 2-3 minutes before turning off the vehicle's power. This ensures the fuel lines are filled with diesel, facilitating the next cold start. After switching, the indicator light on the switch will stop flashing and turn off, indicating that the engine is being supplied by the auxiliary fuel tank. At this point, you can turn off the vehicle's power. 3. If the switching valve was not changed to the auxiliary fuel tank before parking: If the vehicle cannot start after prolonged parking, you should heat the entire fuel line, including the engine's high-pressure fuel pump, diesel filter, and switching valve. Once the temperature rises, first switch to the auxiliary fuel tank position, then turn on the power. At this point, you can drive using the auxiliary fuel tank and switch back to the main fuel tank once the diesel meets the switching conditions.

Is it okay to occasionally refuel at a private gas station?

Occasionally refueling at a private gas station is fine. Here is an introduction to fuel consumption-related content: 1. Fuel consumption: The fuel consumption of large-displacement cars is as high as that of family cars. 2. Comparison: A fuel consumption of 6 liters per 100 kilometers, the same route, a 1.6L car, the Octavia's fuel consumption is 7 liters. Sports car drivers usually give much more throttle than street car drivers, consuming more fuel, and the fuel consumption is also relatively high. When a liter-class sports car accelerates wildly or runs at high speed, its fuel consumption is comparable to the comprehensive fuel consumption of a 3.0L car. 3. Fuel: Most cars use gasoline, so the energy of the fuel is the same. The Octavia's relatively high fuel consumption comes from high wind resistance, a compact structure that leaves no room for fuel-saving technology to be applied, and a high-revving design philosophy to squeeze out power.

What to Do If the Nissan Tiida Engine Burns Oil?

Solutions for the Nissan Tiida engine burning oil: 1. Excessive wear of engine-related components can lead to overly large fitting gaps, causing excessive oil to splash onto the cylinder walls, exceeding the oil ring's scraping capability. If the crankshaft bearing clearance is too large, oil will leak from one or more pressure-lubricated bearings. Replacing these components can resolve the issue. 2. Improper assembly or failure of engine-related components can also cause oil burning, mainly due to valve stem seals falling off or aging. Replacing the valve stem seals can fix this. 3. Poor-quality engine repairs or improper selection of parts are one of the reasons for oil burning. Replacing the parts or switching to high-quality oil can help. The Nissan Tiida is a compact car with body dimensions of 4393mm in length, 1766mm in width, and 1539mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm.
