The reason for a gasoline smell inside the car could be residual odor from disassembling the fuel tank or aging rubber hoses of the charcoal canister. Here are some solutions to address the gasoline smell in the car: 1. Use lemons or grapefruit peels to effectively eliminate the gasoline smell: Although this method is economical, its effectiveness is very short-lived. Remember to replace or dispose of them promptly, as these fruit peels can cause additional problems, such as attracting insects or mold. 2. Use vinegar to remove the gasoline smell: Place a suitable container filled with water and a bit of vinegar in an appropriate spot inside the car. This method works well to eliminate the gasoline smell, especially in new cars, as it effectively absorbs methanol and other substances.

Do Small Cars Have Radiators

Small cars generally have radiators installed at the front of the vehicle. Below is an introduction to the function and structure of a car radiator: Function of the Radiator: When the engine's water temperature is high, the water pump circulates water repeatedly to lower the engine's temperature. (The radiator is composed of hollow copper tubes. Hot water enters the radiator, is cooled by air, and then circulates back to the engine cylinder walls) This helps protect the engine. Structure of the Radiator: The car radiator mainly consists of a radiator core, water pipes, cooling fins, an upper tank, and a lower tank. The upper tank is located on the radiator, connected to the lower tank via water pipes. Hot water flows from the upper tank to the lower tank, where it becomes warm water. The cooling fins form air channels. The fan's suction and the relative wind speed when the car is moving forward draw in a large amount of cold air through these channels, which absorbs the heat from the cooling water flowing through the pipes and then dissipates it into the atmosphere.
