A vehicle not using urea may indicate that the SCR system is in a non-operational state. Below is an introduction to vehicle urea-related content: 1. Kelas: China's first professional brand specializing in vehicle urea production, offering stable and reliable quality with self-established nationwide sales channels. 2. Yuetai Hailong: A subsidiary brand of Sinopec, commonly seen in 20kg products available at various Sinopec gas stations. Product quality is inconsistent, but prices are lower. 3. Kunlun Star: A subsidiary brand of CNPC, with weaker distribution channels compared to Sinopec, but product quality is decent and prices are moderate. 4. Function of vehicle urea: When nitrogen oxides are detected in the exhaust pipe, the urea tank automatically sprays diesel exhaust fluid. The diesel exhaust fluid and nitrogen oxides undergo redox reactions in the SCR catalytic reaction tank, producing non-polluting nitrogen and water vapor for emission.

I've seen several cases where vehicles don't consume urea, especially among diesel vehicle owners who frequently complain about it. The urea system plays a crucial role in exhaust treatment and reducing pollutant emissions. If it malfunctions, it's often due to clogged injectors, faulty level sensors, or pump issues—these components are prone to buildup or seizing over time. When troubleshooting, first check if the urea level is too low and try adding high-quality urea solution. If that doesn't work, use a diagnostic tool to scan the dashboard for trouble codes; sensor error signals are common culprits. Ignoring this may lead to excessive emissions, reduced engine power, skyrocketing fuel consumption, and even traffic police fines. My advice: regularly clean the injectors and refill urea as preventive maintenance—don't wait for the warning light. Adopting this habit ensures more stable and eco-friendly operation, keeping long trips worry-free.

As a young enthusiast who loves tinkering with automotive technology, I'm quite fascinated by the urea system—it's like a smart purification assistant for modern diesel vehicles. The reasons for not burning urea can vary widely: common culprits include malfunctioning sensor modules, such as temperature or flow sensors sending erratic signals; it could also be a software control logic bug, causing the system to 'slack off.' Try restarting the engine or disconnecting the battery's negative terminal for a reset—sometimes this can provide a temporary fix. Additionally, poor-quality or expired urea can clog the pipes, so it's best to switch to a compliant brand. If not addressed promptly, emission issues worsen, not only affecting air quality but also reducing vehicle performance. My car-loving friends all recommend using an OBD diagnostic tool regularly for prevention—it saves money, offers peace of mind, and even adds a bit of fun to learning about electronics.

Neglecting urea issues in your vehicle is no small matter—safety comes first when driving. This problem is commonly caused by clogged injectors, low fluid levels, or faulty control valves, leading to inadequate exhaust treatment and worsening pollution that directly impacts respiratory health. It can also trigger the engine warning light, increasing driving risks. I strongly recommend checking the urea tank level immediately and trying a reputable brand additive. If that doesn’t work, visit a repair shop—don’t attempt DIY fixes. Ignoring it could result in emission violation fines exceeding thousands and reduced fuel efficiency. Address it promptly to ensure safe, compliant driving.

Is a 2015 Vehicle Compliant with China IV or China V Emission Standards?

2015 vehicles could be either China IV or China V compliant. How to identify whether a vehicle meets China IV or China V standards: Check the "Automobile Fuel Consumption Label" attached to new vehicles, which clearly indicates whether it's a China IV or China V vehicle. This label is typically affixed to the side window of new cars. The "Automobile Fuel Consumption Label" displays three types of fuel consumption data for light-duty vehicles: urban, suburban, and combined driving conditions. Alternatively, locate the vehicle identification plate to find the model number (a combination of digits and letters) and the engine model number. Then, visit the Motor Vehicle Environmental Protection website, input the vehicle model number and engine model number to query whether the vehicle is China IV or China V compliant.

What Causes the Presence of Air When Unscrewing the Fuel Tank Cap?

The reasons for the presence of air when unscrewing the fuel tank cap are as follows: 1. Clogged carbon canister vent pipe. When the carbon canister is clogged, abnormal fuel tank pressure may occur. It is recommended to regularly inspect and clean accumulated activated carbon or dirt, which is caused by gasoline evaporation. 2. Negative pressure inside the fuel tank. While driving, the carbon canister solenoid valve remains open to allow continuous adsorption of evaporated gasoline vapor. If a hissing sound is heard when unscrewing the fuel tank cap, it indicates negative pressure inside the tank, especially common after long-distance driving. 3. Gasoline expansion due to high temperatures. In summer, higher temperatures cause gasoline to expand, creating pressure inside the tank that often exceeds external atmospheric pressure. This results in a hissing sound when opening the cap, though this issue is generally not serious.

What are the main reasons for difficulty starting a hot engine?

The main reasons for difficulty starting a hot engine are as follows: 1. Fuel injector leakage. While fuel injection is normal operation, leakage constitutes additional fuel supply. The more severe the injector leakage, the richer the air-fuel mixture becomes, leading to difficulty starting when the engine is hot. 2. Damaged carbon canister purge valve. During hot starts, fuel atomization is already normal and no additional fuel vapor is needed. If the carbon canister continues to supply fuel vapor to the intake manifold, it will cause an over-rich mixture, making starting difficult. 3. Poor fuel quality. After the hot engine is shut off for a period, the engine compartment remains at high temperature. If the fuel is highly volatile, it can create excessive vapor pressure in the fuel rail. When this pressure exceeds the fuel system pressure, vapor lock occurs, causing the fuel injectors to deliver overly lean fuel vapor, resulting in starting difficulties.
