The reasons for rapid consumption of car antifreeze are: 1. Radiator damage, poor sealing of upper and lower water chambers causing coolant leakage; 2. Overflow tank, water pump joint surface and loose connections in the cooling system pipelines leading to coolant leakage. Solutions for excessive antifreeze consumption: Regularly inspect all sealing points and connections, ensure proper tightening where needed, and never reuse leak-proof gaskets or tapes. The full name of antifreeze is antifreeze coolant, which prevents the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block or head during cold winter parking.

Can 95 Octane and 98 Octane Gasoline Be Mixed?

95 octane and 98 octane gasoline can be mixed, but the use of mixed fuel should be limited to emergency situations only and not for prolonged periods, as long-term mixing may damage the car engine. The octane rating of gasoline represents the ratio of the actual anti-knock performance of the gasoline to that of standard gasoline. The higher the octane number, the stronger the anti-knock performance. Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid obtained from petroleum through distillation, cracking, or pyrolysis. It is used as fuel, appearing as a transparent liquid that is flammable, with a distillation range of 30 degrees Celsius to 220 degrees Celsius. Gasoline is classified into different grades based on octane ratings, such as 89, 90, 92, 93, 95, 97, and 98 octane.

How to Evacuate Air from a Car Air Conditioning System?

Methods for evacuating air from a car air conditioning system: 1. Connect the high and low-pressure hoses of the manifold gauge to the high and low-pressure side valve ports respectively, and connect the center hose to the vacuum pump; 2. Open the high and low-pressure manual valves on the manifold gauge, start the vacuum pump, and observe the pointer on the low-pressure gauge (process gauge); 3. After continuous evacuation for 5 seconds, the low pressure should reach 0.03MPa (vacuum level), and the high pressure should be slightly below zero; 4. After the vacuum pump operates for 15 seconds, the low-pressure gauge pointer should be between 0.001 to 0.02MPa; 5. When the system pressure approaches a vacuum, close the high and low-pressure manual valves and maintain pressure for 5 to 10 seconds; 6. At the end of the evacuation process, first close the high and low-pressure manual valves, then shut off the vacuum valve system.

How Many Degrees Count as One Full Turn of the Steering Wheel?

Steering wheel turning 360 degrees counts as one full turn, and a quarter turn is 90 degrees. Steering wheel operation tips: 1. Left hand at nine and ten o'clock positions; 2. Right hand at three and four o'clock positions; 3. Thumbs placed on the inner upper side; 4. Avoid sudden pushing or pulling; 5. Left hand leads, right hand assists; 6. Equal turning angles for left and right. The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of cars, ships, airplanes, etc. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver on the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. Using a larger diameter steering wheel reduces the hand force required from the driver for turning.
