Diesel vehicles generally consume more fuel due to the following reasons: 1. The injector nozzles become clogged with carbon deposits from incomplete combustion during long-term use, and the air filter, idle motor, and throttle valve are too dirty; 2. The ignition module malfunctions, resulting in weak high-voltage sparks, reduced ignition capability, and incomplete combustion of some fuel mixtures, leading to increased fuel consumption; 3. The valve clearance is either too large or too small, and the valves and valve seats are eroded, preventing the valves from achieving ideal sealing, which reduces engine power. Precautions for refueling: 1. Choose to refuel when the temperature is relatively low; 2. If the vehicle is not used for a long time or used infrequently, keep a small amount of fuel; 3. Avoid refueling when a fuel tanker is unloading; 4. Turn off the engine when refueling a gasoline vehicle.

What grade of gasoline does the Honda Fit use?

The manufacturer recommends using 92-octane or higher unleaded gasoline that meets national standards for the Fit. Below are the steps to open the fuel tank cap of the Honda Fit: 1. There is a fuel tank cap release lever located below the left side of the driver's seat. 2. To open the fuel tank cap, simply pull the release lever. 3. You can then open the fuel tank cap to refuel. Precautions to take when refueling are as follows: 1. Turn off the engine before refueling. When the engine is running, the fuel pump is also active, and not turning it off can pose significant risks. 2. The use of mobile phones is prohibited at gas stations. Making phone calls generates electromagnetic waves, which can cause sparks when they come into contact with gasoline vapors in the air. 3. During autumn when the weather is dry, avoid wearing clothes that easily generate static electricity. Do not touch the metal nozzle of the fuel pump while refueling to prevent static electricity from causing a fire.

How to Bleed the Clutch on a Tiida?

Tiida clutch bleeding method is as follows: 1. Take a plastic hose, connect one end to the bleeder bolt on the slave cylinder and the other end to a transparent container, then slowly pump the clutch pedal multiple times. 2. Each time you release the clutch pedal, allow it to return fully to its highest position. If the clutch pedal is pumped too quickly, air in the cylinder may not be completely expelled. 3. Have one person hold down the clutch pedal while another loosens the bleeder bolt to allow hydraulic fluid to flow into the transparent container, then tighten the bleeder bolt. Repeat this process multiple times until the expelled hydraulic fluid is free of air bubbles. 4. Finally, top up the fluid reservoir to the normal level. Note that the expelled hydraulic fluid contains dissolved air and must sit for at least 30 minutes before reuse.
