Refueling without turning off the engine generally does not cause any adverse consequences to the vehicle, but it poses certain safety hazards. The vehicle's electrical equipment remains operational, and the engine is running at high temperatures. If there is any electrical leakage, it could potentially lead to a fire. Therefore, when refueling the car, it is essential to remember to turn off the engine and power, and only restart the vehicle after refueling is complete and the fuel tank cap is securely closed. Below is more information on refueling precautions: 1. Never refuel the car before turning off the engine. 2. If the attendant has not turned off the fuel nozzle, the driver must never start the car, as this could easily cause a fire. 3. It is best not to refuel during thunderstorms. This is also a safety consideration to prevent lightning strikes and avoid fires. Since automotive fuel is highly flammable, during refueling, flammable fuel vapors can easily disperse into the surrounding air. If struck by lightning, the consequences would be unimaginable.

What does AM mean on a car?

It refers to the radio frequency modulation, where the AM band denotes medium wave broadcasting. Below is the definition of AM: 1. Broadcast frequency range, such as the medium wave (525~1610KHz) and shortwave (3200~22000KHz) frequency scales marked on ordinary civilian radios. The band range may vary for radios of different brands. 2. Amplitude modulation broadcasting, which modulates the audio signal onto the 'amplitude' of a high-frequency carrier wave and transmits it into the air. The radio receives the AM radio signals in the air through a magnetic antenna or an external antenna, and demodulates the audio signal through high-frequency tuning → intermediate frequency amplification → detection circuit, then restores the radio program content via the audio amplification circuit.

Antifreeze also has anti-corrosion function. How to replace car antifreeze: First, check the car to see if there are any signs of leakage, drain the remaining antifreeze, insert a rubber tube connected to a water pipe into the radiator filler port, turn on the faucet to let the water continuously flow through the engine cooling system, and after cleaning, add new antifreeze.

What Are the Reasons Why a Car Won't Start After Sitting for a Long Time?

Car won't start after sitting for a long time due to: 1. Dead car battery; 2. Low temperature causing reduced viscosity and rotation speed of engine oil; 3. Ignition system malfunction; 4. Insufficient fuel level; 5. Excessive carbon deposits inside the vehicle's engine; 6. Damaged fuel pump preventing fuel supply from the tank for combustion. Solutions include: 1. Check if the battery is dead; 2. Inspect whether the fuel pump is damaged; 3. Verify if fuel level is adequate; 4. Examine if engine sensors are faulty; 5. Check for ignition system issues; 6. Use a heating rod to warm up the engine oil.
