What Causes the Sound of Fuel Sloshing in the Fuel Tank While Driving?

Liquid sloshing inside a moving container is a normal phenomenon, but if the sound of fuel sloshing in the fuel tank is loud enough to affect the driving or riding experience, it should not be ignored. Under normal circumstances, the sound of fuel sloshing should not be audible inside the car. Many similar cases actually have other underlying causes. The following are some possible explanations: Water Accumulation in the Door: For example, if the car is frequently targeted by small advertisements or often has cards inserted into the door, once water enters the door, these cards can turn into paper sludge, blocking the drainage holes on the inner side of the door. Water Accumulation in the Side Sill: For instance, the drainage outlets of the side sill may be blocked, or the protective adhesive tape over the drainage outlets may not have been removed. Water Accumulation in the Evaporator: If the air conditioning drainage outlet is blocked, it can cause water to accumulate in the evaporator.

What does the small wrench symbol mean in the Sagitar?

The appearance of a small wrench symbol in the Sagitar indicates that the vehicle has reached its scheduled maintenance interval, reminding the owner to perform maintenance. The small wrench on the dashboard does not signify a vehicle malfunction; it is merely a maintenance reminder. The maintenance cycle is preset during the vehicle's manufacturing, so the small wrench symbol will appear at certain mileage intervals to prompt the driver to perform timely maintenance. Methods to reset the small wrench symbol: 1. Insert the key (do not turn it); 2. Press and hold the operation lever on the side of the odometer for 5 to 10 seconds, then turn the key to power on; 3. After another 5 to 10 seconds, start the engine. The Sagitar measures 4753mm in length, 1800mm in width, 1462mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2731mm.

How to Determine if the Battery is Dead

Methods to determine if the battery is dead: 1. The car won't start, and the engine makes a squealing sound when attempting to ignite; 2. Open the engine hood and observe the inspection hole on the battery—green indicates good condition, while black signifies a problem. Generally, there will be instructions on the battery's surface; 3. The battery warning light or engine warning light on the dashboard illuminates. A car battery is a type of storage battery, also known as an accumulator, which works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, the term 'battery' refers to a lead-acid battery, which mainly uses lead and its oxides as electrodes and a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte.

What is the black oil on the ground at the front of the car?

Black oil on the ground at the front of the car may indicate an engine oil leak. Over time, engine oil tends to turn black. It is recommended to check if the oil pan is damaged. If so, it should be repaired promptly. An oil pan leak can lead to significant oil consumption, dirtying the car's chassis, and in severe cases, affecting the normal operation of the engine. Oil pan leaks are generally caused by poor sealing or aging of the gasket or sealing strip. Sealing strips in high-temperature environments can age over time, and once they age, they may develop cracks, leading to oil leaks. An oil pan leak can result in the engine burning oil.

At what RPM does the Haval H4 turbocharger engage?

Haval H4 turbocharger engages at 2000 to 2500 RPM. After starting the engine, do not abruptly press the accelerator pedal. Allow the engine to idle for three minutes first. This helps raise the oil temperature and improve its flow properties, ensuring adequate lubrication for the turbocharger before increasing engine speed to start driving. The main function of the turbocharger is to increase engine air intake, thereby enhancing engine power and torque, making the vehicle more powerful. The Haval H4 measures 4410mm in length, 1845mm in width, 1695mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2660mm.

What is the difference between 5W-30 and 5W-40 engine oil?

The differences between 5W-30 and 5W-40 engine oil: 1. Different viscosity: The viscosity grade of 5W-30 engine oil at 100°C is 11cst; the viscosity grade of 5W-40 engine oil at 100°C is 14.5cst. 2. Different stability: Under high-temperature conditions, 5W-40 is more stable than 5W-30. 3. Different sealing properties: 5W-30 has lower sealing performance; 5W-40 has higher sealing performance. Engine oil, motor oil, or engine lubricant is a substance enhanced with additives in base oil, mainly containing anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade viscosity index improvers. Engine oil is used for lubricating internal combustion engines. The main functions of engine oil are to reduce friction and wear of moving parts and to remove sludge (one of the functions of dispersants) and varnish (function of detergents) from the engine.
