The reasons for the smell of gasoline while driving include poor sealing of the fuel tank cap, damage to the fuel supply lines, gaps between the fuel tank and fuel pipes, and gasoline in the carbon canister. The gasoline smell inside the car often enters through the air conditioning circulation vents. It is crucial to take immediate action when a gasoline smell is detected inside the vehicle. Gasoline is a highly dangerous flammable and explosive liquid. If the fuel tank cap is not sealing properly, it is best to apply a one-millimeter-thick layer of grease under the rubber gasket. Gasoline in the carbon canister is usually due to absorption. If there are issues such as broken fuel lines or gaps at the connections, it is advisable to visit an auto repair shop as soon as possible for repair or replacement.

Is the mandatory scrapping period for new energy vehicles converted from commercial to non-commercial use 8 years or 15 years?

New energy vehicles converted from commercial to non-commercial use have a mandatory scrapping period of 8 years. Below is an introduction to the conversion of vehicles from commercial to non-commercial use: 1. Vehicles nearing the scrapping period cannot be transferred to other regions: According to relevant regulations, 'Motor vehicles that are within one year (including one year) of their service life when changing their use nature or transferring registration are not allowed to change their use nature, transfer ownership, or move out of the municipal administrative region where they are registered.' 2. Severe penalties for driving scrapped vehicles on the road: According to relevant regulations, 'Driving a modified motor vehicle or a motor vehicle that has reached the scrapping standard on the road, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall confiscate it, enforce mandatory scrapping, and impose fines on the driver of the aforementioned motor vehicle driving on the road, as well as revoke the driver's license.' 3.

What is the emission standard for the 2020 Sienna?

Toyota Sienna 2020 complies with the China VI emission standard and is a versatile business vehicle with a traditional style. The Toyota Sienna 3.5L configuration adds DVD, rearview camera, navigation, xenon headlights, and stainless steel chrome trim. Like the Previa, the new Sienna is suitable for both commercial and family use, featuring all the characteristics of an MPV: ample storage space, comfortable seating for all passengers, and versatile interior configurations. The Toyota Sienna's seats can slide forward and backward on rails, allowing various combinations for the middle and rear seats. To maximize space, the originally mid-mounted engine was moved forward, combined with a lowered chassis, creating an exceptionally large interior space while ensuring passenger comfort and cargo capacity. The spacious interior guarantees a comfortable ride, with a vehicle length of 5 meters, making it an excellent choice for both commercial and high-end family MPVs. Compared to the Alphard model, its exterior and configuration are also more refined. The impact of the China VI standard is that it effectively reduces the gap between laboratory-certified emissions and real-world emissions, laying the foundation for coordinated emission control; it improves the emission control levels of vehicles under actual driving conditions; and it effectively prevents cheating behaviors that lead to excessive real-world emissions.

Where is the cigarette lighter fuse in the Volvo XC60?

The cigarette lighter fuse in the Volvo XC60 is located at the lower left side of the glove compartment on the passenger side. The cigarette lighter fuse is mostly blue, and the 15V fuse is the one for the cigarette lighter. Here are the instructions for using the cigarette lighter: 1. The correct method of use is to insert and remove it vertically up and down without shaking. Frequent shaking when removing can cause loosening and short circuits, burning out the fuse and external devices. 2. The outer metal shell of the cigarette lighter is the negative terminal of the power supply, while the central heating wire is the positive terminal. When the cigarette lighter is inserted and pressed down to lock, the heating element of the cigarette lighter comes into contact with the positive terminal of the socket, starting the heating process. When the temperature of the heating element reaches the required level, the temperature causes the retaining spring to deform, releasing the cigarette lighter plug, which then pops out, ready to light a cigarette. 3. After use, plug it back into the socket (without pressing it again), and the heating element will naturally cool down. If the cigarette lighter is not plugged back into the socket after use, it can easily cause a fire, so this should be noted.
