Here is an introduction to the consequences of accidentally adding urea to the diesel tank: 1. Clogging the after-treatment system: Diesel and carbon soot from the exhaust will gradually clog the after-treatment system. 2. Explosion: Diesel may combust or even explode inside the exhaust pipe. Below is extended information about automotive urea: 1. Kelas: The first professional brand in China specializing in the production of automotive urea, known for stable and reliable quality, with self-built sales channels nationwide. 2. Yuetai Hailong: A brand under Sinopec, commonly seen in 20kg products, available at various Sinopec gas stations. The product quality is unstable, and the price is relatively low. 3. Kunlun Star: A brand under PetroChina, with weaker distribution channels compared to Sinopec, but the product quality is decent and the price is moderate. 4. The role of automotive urea: When nitrogen oxides are detected in the exhaust pipe, the urea tank automatically sprays diesel exhaust fluid (DEF). DEF and nitrogen oxides undergo redox reactions in the SCR catalytic reaction tank, producing non-polluting nitrogen and water vapor for emission.

How to distinguish between entrance markings and exit markings on roads?

Road entrance markings and exit markings are different in nature. The differences between road entrance markings and exit markings are as follows: 1. Characteristics of road exit markings: Road traffic markings are mainly painted on the road surface and are exposed to sun, rain, snow, ice, and vehicle impact and wear, so they have strict performance requirements. They must have a short drying time and be simple to operate to minimize traffic disruption. Secondly, they must have strong reflectivity, bright colors, and high reflectivity to ensure good visibility both day and night. Thirdly, they must have anti-slip and wear-resistant properties to ensure driving safety and longevity. 2. Characteristics of road exit deceleration markings: The longitudinal deceleration markings for vehicle lanes consist of a series of diamond-shaped dashed lines parallel to the lane dividing lines. They are usually installed at bridge approaches and turns, primarily to create a visual narrowing of the lane, inducing a sense of pressure that prompts drivers to automatically slow down at curves, slopes, and other locations where deceleration is required. Whether lane changes are permitted under deceleration markings depends on the state of the markings beside them. If the markings are solid lines, lane changes are not allowed; if they are dashed lines, lane changes are permitted.

What to Do When the Side Windows Fog Up?

Just prepare a towel with good moisture absorption and gently wipe the windows. Here are some related methods to remove window fogging: 1. Open the windows: Crack the windows slightly to allow air convection, using negative pressure to draw out the fog. If there is a sunroof, open it and use the rear tilt function to quickly expel the air. 2. Use the car's front defroster mode to quickly restore the windows to normal. 3. Use anti-fog spray: In fact, many anti-fog sprays work very well—just spray the anti-fog agent on the glass surface in advance.

How to unlock the car from outside when the key is locked inside?

If the car key is locked inside the car, first try to find a spare key. If there is no spare key, contact a qualified locksmith company to unlock the car. Here is more relevant information: 1. Use a mobile phone remote control to unlock: However, to use this method, you need to install a car cloud key system on your phone. Additionally, this method cannot be used in areas with poor signal or where the signal is interfered with. 2. Use the car battery to open the door: This method is not suitable for all car models. It involves using a small metal piece to touch the positive terminal of the battery to open the door. When touching the battery with the small metal piece, be sure to wear insulated gloves to avoid electric shock. If none of the above four methods successfully unlock the car, you may have to resort to breaking a window to unlock it.

What are the reasons for both high and low beams of car headlights not working?

The reasons for both high and low beams of car headlights not working may be a blown fuse or burnt-out bulb. Below are some precautions regarding car headlight maintenance: 1. Maintain sealing: Moisture intrusion can reduce the lifespan of the bulb, so it is important to check the sealing of the headlights. 2. Keep clean: Clean the reflector; if the reflector of a semi-sealed headlight turns black and the light intensity decreases, it should be replaced. If the reflector is silver-plated or aluminum-plated, due to its lower hardness, only clean cotton soaked in hot water should be used for cleaning, and never wipe it to avoid damaging the reflector coating. Clean the bulb: When there is dust or dirt on a halogen bulb, use degreasing cotton soaked in ethanol (90%) to wipe it.

What license is required for large vehicles?

Large vehicle license refers to the B2 license. Below are the vehicle types permitted with a B2 driver's license and important considerations for driving large trucks. Vehicle types permitted with a B2 license: The B2 license allows the holder to operate heavy-duty, medium-duty trucks or large, heavy, and medium-sized specialized operation vehicles. Heavy-duty and medium-duty trucks are primarily cargo trucks, such as the large dump trucks commonly seen on roads carrying construction waste, which fall under the category of heavy-duty trucks. Important considerations for driving large trucks: When driving heavy-duty trucks, it is essential to understand their characteristics. Heavy-duty trucks have a large mass and high inertia; a high center of gravity leading to significant centrifugal force. They have a long body, occupying more space. The long wheelbase results in a large inner wheel difference. They use air brakes, which provide quick braking response. The steering wheel is larger and responds slower compared to smaller vehicles. They have multiple gears (six or more) with small gear gaps, making the operation more complex and demanding than driving smaller vehicles.
