Symptoms of poor gasoline quality include: insufficient vehicle power, engine carbon buildup, severe shaking, stalling, fuel pump failure, inability to start the vehicle, EPC light on the dashboard, engine malfunction light illumination, excessive exhaust emissions, etc. Long-term use of inferior gasoline will severely damage the engine, result in incomplete fuel combustion, and lead to consequences such as reduced engine power, increased fuel consumption, and increased carbon deposits in the fuel injectors. Gasoline is produced by refining various gasoline components obtained from petroleum refining, such as straight-run gasoline components, catalytic cracking gasoline components, and catalytic reforming gasoline components, and then blending them with high-octane components. It is primarily used as fuel for spark-ignition internal combustion engines in automobiles.

What Are the Car Maintenance Items?

Car maintenance items include: changing engine oil and oil filter; air filter; fuel filter; transmission fluid; tire maintenance. Major maintenance is based on routine maintenance, in addition to replacing engine oil and oil filter, it also requires replacing the air filter and fuel filter. Major maintenance and routine maintenance can be alternated, with the interval varying by car brand, and should follow the car manufacturer's recommendations. More extended information is as follows: 1. Engine oil is the lubricant for the engine: To ensure the car's performance, the engine oil should be changed periodically, and its replacement cycle depends on the oil's effective time. The engine sucks in a large amount of air during operation, and the dust in it can accelerate the wear of the piston group and cylinder. 2. The role of the air filter: It is to filter out dust and particles from the air, ensuring that sufficient and clean air enters the cylinder.

Is the free expressway period calculated based on the time of entering or exiting the expressway?

The free expressway period is determined by the time of exiting the expressway. During statutory holidays, the free expressway policy for small passenger vehicles is based on the time of passing through the toll booth. Here is relevant information about the free expressway policy: 1. Charging Standards: The free period is calculated based on the time when the vehicle exits the expressway toll lane. For ordinary highways, it is based on the time when the vehicle passes through the toll booth lane. In other words, if you enter the expressway during the charging period and exit during the free period, you will not be charged. Conversely, if you enter during the free period and exit during the charging period, you will be charged. 2. National Policy: According to national regulations, only 7-seat and below small vehicles can enjoy the free expressway toll policy during the four statutory holidays: Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Labor Day, and National Day.

How to ask the car owner to move the car without their phone number?

Methods to move the car without the owner's phone number are as follows: 1. Call 114: You can dial this number to find the contact information of the corresponding car owner for moving the car, and achieve the purpose of moving the car through friendly negotiation. 2. Call 122: 122 is the telephone number set up by China's public security traffic management authorities to handle public traffic accident reports, dispatch police officers to deal with various reports, requests for help, and also to accept public reports, complaints, and inquiries about traffic management and traffic police law enforcement. At this time, the power of the traffic police can be used to deal with the situation where the car owner deliberately refuses to move the car. 3. Call the insurance company: You can seek help from the insurance company. If the car is scratched, the insurance company will immediately contact the car owner to handle the accident.

Reasons for Squeaking Noise When Reversing but Not When Moving Forward?

Based on the location of abnormal noises when the car is reversing, a detailed analysis reveals the following possible causes: 1. Due to the low speed during reversing: Some normally "hard-to-hear" noises may become more noticeable at this time, such as door noises (loose hinges, wear and tear, etc.), or noises from other structural components. Transmission-related noises require specific inspection and repair. If the owner is unfamiliar with the situation, it is recommended to seek professional service. 2. Abnormalities in other components: In manual transmissions, the clutch system may cause "abnormal noises," such as issues with the master cylinder, slave cylinder, or transmission mechanism. The clutch release bearing or the flywheel guide bearing can also cause "squeaking noises." Manual transmission shift mechanisms may also produce "abnormal noises." Chassis components, especially plastic connections, rubber bushings, or ball joints, may produce "squeaking noises" due to aging, cracking, or looseness.

Can tires with many small cracks on the side still be used?

Tires with minor cracks on the side can still be used normally, but if the cracks are numerous and deep, they should be replaced. Generally, the lifespan of a tire is 3-5 years, with aging beginning around 3 years. After 5 years, tires are usually severely aged and should be replaced promptly. Methods to delay tire aging and extend tire life: 1. Park in shaded areas: Try to park in cooler places to avoid direct sunlight; 2. Avoid corrosive substances: Stay away from oil, chemicals, and other corrosive contaminants that can damage tires; 3. Use beauty products: Apply products like tire glaze or tire wax to slow aging; 4. Avoid overloading: Overloading can cause excessive pressure on the tire sidewalls; 5. Regular inspections: After 3 years of use, regularly check the tire's condition.

What are the two major mechanisms and five major systems of an engine?

Two major mechanisms: 1. Crank-connecting rod mechanism: The crank-connecting rod is an important component of an automobile engine that realizes the working cycle and completes energy conversion. It consists of the cylinder block group, piston-connecting rod group, and crankshaft-flywheel group. 2. Valve train: The function of the valve train is to open and close the intake and exhaust valves according to the working sequence and process of the engine, allowing the combustible mixture or air to enter the cylinder and expelling the exhaust gas from the cylinder to achieve the gas exchange process. Five major systems: 1. Starting system: The process of turning the crankshaft under external force until the engine starts to idle automatically is called engine starting, and the device required to complete the starting process is called the engine starting system. 2. Fuel supply system: The function of the gasoline engine fuel supply system is to prepare a certain quantity and concentration of the mixture according to the requirements of the engine, supply it into the cylinder, and expel the exhaust gas after combustion from the cylinder. 3. Cooling system: The function of the cooling system is to dissipate part of the heat absorbed by the heated parts in time to ensure that the engine works at the most suitable temperature. The cooling system of a water-cooled engine usually consists of a water jacket, water pump, fan, radiator, thermostat, and other components. 4. Lubrication system: The function of the lubrication system is to deliver a certain amount of lubricating oil to the surfaces of relatively moving parts to achieve liquid friction, reduce frictional resistance, and minimize wear of the components. 5. Ignition system: The ignition system usually consists of a generator, battery, distributor, ignition coil, and spark plug.
