The reasons for the increased free travel of the MG6 brake pedal: 1. Insufficient brake fluid pressure (due to lack of oil in the brake master cylinder, brake pipe rupture, oil pipe joint leakage, or oil circuit blockage). 2. Air in the brake system. 3. Excessive free travel of the brake pedal or excessive brake clearance, poor contact of the brake shoe friction plate, severe wear, or oil contamination. 4. Wear or damage to the brake master cylinder, wheel cylinder piston and cylinder pipe, or aging and damage of the belt. 5. Apart from the brake fluid, the condition of the brake disc and brake pads is another major cause of increased brake pedal travel. As the thickness of the brake pads and brake disc decreases, the brake fluid level may also continuously drop. As the brake fluid, which transmits force, requires greater compression to achieve better brake response, the brake pedal travel naturally becomes longer.

Does converting a gasoline car to natural gas have any impact on the vehicle?

Converting a gasoline car to natural gas does have an impact on the vehicle, which may result in reduced power output. Below are specific maintenance guidelines for CNG-converted vehicles: 1. Equipment maintenance: Regular maintenance of the CNG system is required. Due to the special properties of the fuel, a comprehensive leak inspection of the gas tank should be conducted every two weeks. 2. Driving habits: Before daily operation, in addition to the checks specified in the original vehicle manual, inspect all pipelines for cracks or fuel leaks. For short-term parking, always turn off the main power switch and the CNG cylinder valve. Also, ensure the vehicle is equipped with fire extinguishing equipment during normal operation. For long-term parking, the CNG should be completely depleted. Never service the fuel supply system in enclosed garages or workshops.
