The fuel tank capacity of the Escort is 50 liters, which is the officially announced data. Owners who have purchased the Escort can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Escort uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 5.7 to 5.8L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 862 to 877 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank at all times. This is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is the volume from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit. There is still some space from the safe limit to the tank opening, which is reserved to ensure that the fuel inside the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.

I've been driving a Ford Escort for almost five years, and its fuel tank capacity is around 45 liters. As a driver who frequently takes long-distance trips, this capacity perfectly meets my needs. A full tank can cover over 500 kilometers, depending on road conditions and driving habits. For instance, long-distance driving on highways is more relaxed with lower fuel consumption, while heavy traffic in urban areas burns fuel faster, possibly requiring a weekly refill. The size of the fuel tank affects convenience—too small means frequent refueling, while too large increases vehicle weight and drags down fuel efficiency. Ford made a smart design choice here, balancing practicality and efficiency. If you often go on road trips like I do, I recommend calculating your journey after filling up to avoid the awkwardness of running low on fuel midway. Regular maintenance is hassle-free, just make sure to check the fuel pump periodically.

What size is the photo for a driver's license?

The photo for a motor vehicle driver's license is one inch in size, and it must be a bareheaded photo with a white background. White clothing is not allowed in the photo, and all facial features must be clearly visible. The photo must be taken within the last six months, and photos older than that cannot be used. Below are some important notes regarding an expired driver's license: Legal provisions: According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, if a driver's license is not renewed for more than one year after its expiration date, it will be automatically revoked. If it has been expired for more than two years, the driver must pass the subject one exam to restore the license's normal use. If the license has been revoked for more than two years, the driver must reapply for a new one. Expired license: It is particularly important to note that driving with an expired license is not permitted. Driving with an expired license is considered driving without a license or is treated as such. The penalty for driving without a license includes a fine and may also involve detention for up to 15 days. In cases of serious traffic accidents resulting in personal injury or death, criminal liability will be pursued according to the law.

Can a Motorcycle Cylinder Explosion Kill Someone?

No. Cylinder explosion, also known as "seizure", refers to the situation where the piston cannot move within the cylinder, causing the piston and cylinder wall to "lock" or "seize" together. Oil-related issues: Severe mechanical failures caused by engine oil shortage, clogged oil passages or filters, or oil pump damage. In other words, high-temperature friction due to lack of oil lubrication leads to the melting and bonding of the cylinder block, piston, and piston rings. Cooling issues: If the motorcycle overheats, the cylinder may explode. Therefore, avoid riding at excessively high speeds, as this can easily cause the engine operating temperature to exceed the originally designed tolerance limits. Other issues: Incorrect adjustment of the engine's intake/exhaust system and ignition timing.

Is it recommended to get insurance for the first year of a new car?

For the first year of a new car, you can opt for commercial insurance. In the event of a traffic accident, commercial insurance can provide a solution. Commercial insurance for motor vehicles is divided into compulsory traffic insurance and commercial insurance. Compulsory traffic insurance is a must-have, while commercial insurance can be selectively purchased based on the actual situation of the vehicle. Commercial insurance for motor vehicles can be purchased up to three months in advance. It is essential to purchase car insurance in advance to avoid issues of insurance lapse. When purchasing compulsory traffic insurance for a motor vehicle, the vehicle usage tax must be paid simultaneously. Compulsory traffic insurance is mandatory for every vehicle. Compulsory traffic insurance is liability insurance for motor vehicle traffic accidents. Motor vehicles on the road must have this insurance; otherwise, it is considered a violation. Vehicles without compulsory traffic insurance will be detained if found on the road and will be required to purchase the insurance immediately, along with a fine of twice the amount of the compulsory traffic insurance, before the vehicle is allowed to proceed.

Is a Car Tire Pressure of 2.2 Normal?

Not normal. According to the requirements of the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the standard tire pressure for regular tires is 2.4-2.5 bar. A pressure of 2.2 bar is below the minimum standard value, so it is not normal. Tire Pressure Reset Method: First, turn on the ignition, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "beep" sound before releasing it. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, completing the tire pressure reset. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure: Abnormal Tire Pressure: Usually, an alarm will sound if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, the tires need to be checked and the pressure adjusted. Tire Pressure Monitoring Not Reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure reset is not performed in time, the tire pressure monitoring system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator light to turn on. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged Tire Pressure Sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which is used to monitor tire pressure, is directly installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the tire pressure sensor is damaged while driving, it can also cause the tire pressure warning light to turn on. For sensor damage issues, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.

What does AVG mean on a Nissan car?

AVG is the abbreviation for average. The AVG on the car dashboard refers to the average fuel consumption. Calculation of average fuel consumption: Fill up the fuel tank and reset the odometer to zero. Drive more than 100 kilometers on your usual route, such as commuting to work. Then, refuel at the same gas station—you don't need to empty the tank, just fill it up again. Record the amount of fuel added in liters, denoted as A, and check the odometer for the distance traveled, denoted as B. The actual fuel consumption per kilometer can be calculated using the following formula: Actual fuel consumption per kilometer = A/B × 100. For example, if you travel 150 km and consume 14 liters of fuel, the result is 9.3 liters per 100 kilometers (L/100km).

What are the reasons for high fuel consumption?

There are several main reasons for high fuel consumption in cars: poor driving techniques, engine usage conditions, and lack of maintenance during vehicle use. Below are specific situations that lead to high fuel consumption: Causes of high fuel consumption in cars: Abnormal tire pressure or switching to oversized tires: Underinflated tires can affect fuel consumption. When tire pressure is too low, the contact area between the tires and the road increases, leading to greater driving resistance, which naturally results in higher fuel consumption. Long idling without turning off the engine or frequent ignition: During prolonged waits when the vehicle doesn't need to move, it's recommended to turn off the engine. Every time the engine starts, the computer-controlled fuel injection volume is higher, so frequent engine starts within a short period will definitely increase the vehicle's fuel consumption. Aggressive acceleration and frequent braking while driving: Unless absolutely necessary, avoid frequent overtaking on the road. Maintaining a steady speed helps reduce fuel consumption. Additionally, maintaining a proper following distance and minimizing unnecessary braking can also save fuel. Driving at low gear with high speed or high gear with low speed: This situation is more common among new drivers. Often, the vehicle's speed is already high, but the driver fails to upshift accordingly, leading to increasingly higher engine RPM and a surge in fuel consumption. Another scenario is driving at very low speeds while staying in a high gear, which is most noticeably characterized by engine and body vibrations, with the risk of stalling at any moment. Fully open windows in summer or using air conditioning in traffic jams: Turning on the air conditioning in summer increases engine load, leading to higher fuel consumption. Poor route planning, driving on congested roads, or frequent lane changes: For this issue, it's recommended to plan the route in advance, check local traffic information and road conditions, and avoid congested sections.
