Poor brake responsiveness can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Excessive free travel of the brake pedal; 2. Insufficient or no brake fluid in the master cylinder reservoir; 3. Deteriorated brake fluid or excessive buildup of deposits inside the brake lines; 4. Air entering the brake lines or vaporization of brake fluid causing vapor lock. The function of brakes is to reduce speed or bring the vehicle to a stop. The working principle involves converting the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy through friction between the brake pads and brake drums, as well as between the tires and the ground, thereby slowing down or stopping the vehicle. Brake maintenance methods include: 1. High-temperature protection to prevent corrosion of the brake system, avoid brake pad seizure due to high temperatures, and eliminate brake squeal; 2. Regularly replacing brake fluid; 3. Cleaning oil stains, dirt, and friction dust from brake discs, drums, and other components to ensure proper heat dissipation; 4. Regularly checking the thickness of brake pads or shoes.

Where Does the Fuel at Private Gas Stations Come From?

Private gas stations operated by private enterprises have complex fuel procurement channels, mostly sourcing from small refineries. However, due to the inferior quality of gasoline from small refineries, it is common practice to blend fuel from small refineries with that from large refineries. This approach keeps costs relatively low but results in inconsistent fuel quality. Reasons why private gas stations offer cheaper fuel: Different fuel sources: Official gas stations provide higher-quality fuel, which naturally comes at a higher price. To ensure profits, private gas stations often seek ways to cut corners on fuel quality, sourcing from regional refineries, which naturally lowers the price. However, prolonged use of low-quality fuel leads to rapid carbon buildup in vehicles, with increased fuel consumption and sluggish acceleration being the most common symptoms. Lower operating costs: Private gas stations are typically located in remote areas, occupy smaller spaces, and employ fewer staff, resulting in lower operational costs.
