It is a combustion improver that enhances the burning efficiency of gasoline. Combustion Improver: Refers to substances that cannot burn themselves but can provide the oxygen required for combustion. In a broad sense, additives used to improve combustion conditions all fall under the category of combustion improvers. Combustion improvers include combustion promoters, slurry dispersants, water separators, ash modifiers, and emulsifiers. Uses of Combustion Improvers: Cleaning Carbon Deposits: Because it contains detergent dispersants, oxygen enhancers, and combustion improvers, it can fully decompose carbon deposits, prevent the formation of sticky substances in the combustion system, and promote complete fuel combustion, thereby reducing engine carbon deposits, ensuring smooth engine operation, and enhancing power performance. The effect is particularly noticeable for older vehicles. Supporting Engine and Fuel System Maintenance: It can compensate for certain deficiencies in fuel properties while adding new characteristics, such as effectively reducing the formation of deposits in the fuel system, cleaning the fuel system, enabling more complete combustion, saving fuel, enhancing engine performance, reducing exhaust emissions, lowering engine noise, and ensuring smooth engine operation, among other benefits.

Chi Ran No. 1 fuel is a fuel additive primarily used in gasoline vehicles to help save fuel and clean the engine system, similar to common fuel-saving products on the market. I've used it in my car a few times and noticed that the engine starts more smoothly and accelerates faster after adding it, especially during long highway drives where fuel consumption dropped by about 5%. However, to be honest, it's not exactly cheap—a bottle costs several dozen yuan. You just mix it in when refueling; no special tools are needed. Long-term use may reduce carbon buildup issues and extend engine life, but you also need to be careful not to buy counterfeit products. A friend of mine tried a fake brand bought online, which not only had no effect but also made the car shake more. Overall, it’s convenient for daily driving, but using it every time you refuel might increase expenses. I recommend testing it first at a small gas station to see how your car reacts before deciding whether to use it long-term.

As a technical enthusiast of fuel systems, I've done some research on the composition of ChiRan No.1. It contains detergents and lubricants that effectively remove carbon deposits from fuel injectors and cylinders, preventing clogging. This type of additive typically works best at low engine speeds, such as in urban traffic congestion, improving fuel efficiency by 3% to 8%. However, it's worth noting that it's less effective for diesel vehicles and only suitable for gasoline engine users. Long-term use may alter fuel combustion characteristics, while occasional use can maintain effectiveness for several thousand kilometers. Compared to other brands like Red Line, I find ChiRan No.1 offers decent cost-performance. The key is to purchase from official channels to avoid diluted counterfeit products. After installation, avoid high-load driving immediately; letting the engine adapt for half a day ensures more stable performance. Overall, it's a simple maintenance tool that helps optimize vehicle power, though not as miraculous as official claims suggest.

At home, when driving kids to school, I often hear people talk about Chi Ran No.1. I tried adding it to the fuel tank once, and the operation was very simple—just pour the small bottle of liquid in and mix it with the fuel. For the first few days, the car seemed quieter, and the fuel consumption didn’t change much—maybe saving half a liter. The real benefits show with long-term use, reducing trips to the repair shop. This product mainly focuses on cleaning, tackling engine dirt issues. It costs around 20 yuan per use and lasts about a month per fuel refill. I think it’s worth trying for daily drivers, especially older cars, but new cars might not need too many additives. It’s advisable not to use it too frequently to avoid affecting normal refueling habits. Overall, it’s harmless to safe driving with minimal risks, and you can handle it yourself.

What Causes Engine Shaking When Braking at Idle Speed?

The reasons for engine shaking when braking at idle speed are: the idle switch not closing, a faulty idle control valve, and intake manifold air leaks. Idle Switch Not Closing: When the idle contact opens, the ECU determines that the engine is under partial load. At this time, the ECU calculates the fuel injection amount and timing based on signals from the air flow sensor, crankshaft position, and engine speed. However, the engine is actually operating at idle, where the air intake is lower, resulting in an overly rich air-fuel mixture and an increase in engine speed. When the ECU receives feedback from the oxygen sensor indicating an overly rich mixture, it reduces the fuel injection amount and increases the opening of the idle control valve, leading to an overly lean mixture and a drop in engine speed. Conversely, when the ECU receives feedback indicating an overly lean mixture, it increases the fuel injection amount and decreases the idle control valve opening, causing the mixture to become overly rich again and the speed to rise. This cycle repeats, causing unstable engine idle. The solution is to adjust or replace the throttle position sensor. Faulty Idle Control Valve: The normal idle speed of an electronically fuel-injected engine is maintained by the idle control valve. The ECU processes signals such as engine speed, temperature, throttle switch, and air conditioning switch to adjust the idle control valve, either by opening the intake bypass passage or directly increasing the throttle opening to boost air intake and raise the idle speed. When the idle speed exceeds the set value, the ECU commands the idle control valve to reduce the intake bypass passage, decreasing the air intake and lowering the engine speed. Issues like sticking due to oil residue or carbon buildup, or incomplete throttle closure, can prevent the ECU from correctly regulating the idle speed, leading to instability. The solution is to clean or replace the idle control valve and perform a basic idle speed setting using a dedicated diagnostic tool. Intake Manifold Air Leaks: According to the engine idle control principle, under normal conditions, the opening of the idle control valve and the air intake strictly follow a specific functional relationship—that is, as the idle control valve opening increases, the air intake increases accordingly. An air leak in the intake manifold disrupts this relationship, making it impossible for the air flow sensor to measure the actual air intake accurately. This results in the ECU inaccurately controlling the air intake, causing unstable engine idle. The solution is to locate the leak, reseal it, or replace the affected components.

Where is the USB port in the Magotan?

The USB port in the Magotan is located inside the storage compartment of the front center armrest. More relevant information is as follows: 1. The function of the car USB port is not only to charge devices like mobile phones via a car adapter or cigarette lighter but also to transmit audio data. Therefore, the interface current of the Magotan is only 5V/0.5A. 2. Since the voltage provided by the car is relatively low, the car charger only requires an overload protection circuit internally. A fuse is designed at the front end of the car charger socket. When the current exceeds the capacity of the overload protection circuit, the fuse will immediately blow to provide protection.

Why Does a Car's Steering Wheel Pull to One Side?

The reasons for a car's steering wheel pulling to one side include the following: 1. Uneven tire pressure on both sides: The higher the tire pressure, the smaller the contact area with the ground, resulting in less rolling resistance. The vehicle will tend to pull toward the side with relatively lower tire pressure. 2. Uneven tread wear on both sides: The tire surface has a layer of rubber tread with a certain thickness. As the vehicle is used, the tread thickness gradually decreases. A tire with more tread wear effectively has a smaller diameter, causing the vehicle to pull toward the side with more tread wear. 3. Poor brake caliper piston retraction on one side: If the brake piston on one wheel does not retract properly, it will increase the rolling resistance on that side, causing the vehicle to pull toward the side with higher resistance. 4. Incorrect wheel alignment: If the camber angles of the wheels on both sides are inconsistent, the vehicle will tend to pull toward the side with a larger outward tilt angle.

What does Super Select 4WD mean?

Super Select 4WD is an electronically assisted SS4-II system, a patented technology of Mitsubishi. Below is more information about Super Select 4WD: 1. Mitsubishi's Super Select 4WD system has a history of many years. Since its application in the second-generation Pajero models (V33, etc.) in the early 1990s, it has been successively equipped in the third-generation (V73, V77, etc.) and fourth-generation (V93, V87, V97, etc.) models. The Super Select 4WD has evolved from the first-generation purely mechanical SS4 system (second-generation Pajero) to the current electronically assisted SS4-II system (third and fourth-generation Pajero). 2. The advantage of the Super Select 4WD system is that it allows switching between 2H and 4H gears at speeds below 100 km/h. When in 4H position, it functions like a full-time 4WD vehicle, providing better traction and driving force. In 2H position, pure rear-wheel drive improves the vehicle's fuel economy to some extent.

What are the functions of the Mazda6 Atenza trunk?

The functions of a car trunk are as follows: 1. Complete tool kit: The trunk contains a spare tire, jack, headlight tools, warning triangle, first aid kit, etc. Generally, these are standard equipment in cars, but many models may not have them all. In fact, the first aid kit and warning triangle should be included, as they are crucial for driving safety and emergency assistance. 2. Luggage storage net: When driving, you may encounter the problem of small, fragile items that are difficult to arrange neatly. Even if arranged well, they may still get disorganized or damaged during the ride. With a luggage storage net in the trunk, these concerns and unnecessary losses can be avoided. 3. Luggage compartment partition: Most hatchbacks, SUVs, and some MPV models have a partition in the trunk, which is an original factory-installed accessory. The partition helps with visibility when reversing, even without a rearview camera, and prevents luggage from rushing into the cabin during sudden braking, protecting passengers from injury.
