The fuel tank capacity of the Ford Escort is 50 liters. The fuel tank is located at the left rear of the vehicle, in front of the rear wheel. The fuel tank is made of engineering plastic, which is commonly used in many modern car models. Engineering plastic offers higher safety compared to metal fuel tanks. Below is the refueling procedure for the Ford Escort: 1. First, press the left side of the fuel tank cap to open it. 2. Unscrew the fuel tank cap counterclockwise. 3. Insert the fuel tank cap into the holder on the fuel tank cover. 4. Insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel tank. 5. If the fuel nozzle shuts off automatically for the first time, it indicates that the tank is full. Do not continue refueling, as this may cause the expansion chamber in the tank to fill with fuel. 6. For safety, it is recommended to wait for 5 seconds after removing the fuel nozzle to allow any remaining fuel to drip into the tank. 7. Replace the fuel tank cap and ensure it is tightly secured. 8. To close the fuel tank cover, press the left side until you hear a click sound.

I remember the Fiesta's fuel tank capacity was 42 liters in the pre-2019 older models, which was later upgraded to a larger 50-liter tank in the facelifted version. Driving my friend's older model on long trips made it particularly noticeable – once on the highway, I had to carefully plan fuel stops since it would basically run dry after a little over 400 kilometers. With the new 50-liter tank in the current model, considering the fuel consumption of the 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, it can last over 500 kilometers in city driving. When refueling, be careful not to overfill; stop when the nozzle clicks to leave some expansion space, which is better for the charcoal canister. If you frequently take long trips, the larger tank in the new model offers a significant advantage, basically eliminating worries about service station intervals.

Is Steering Wheel Shift Practical?

Steering wheel shift is not practical. The functions of the steering wheel are: to convert the force applied by the driver on the edge of the steering wheel into torque and transmit it to the steering shaft, thereby achieving the purpose of changing the vehicle's direction. Steering wheels are categorized into: single-spoke steering wheels, dual-spoke steering wheels, triple-spoke steering wheels, and quad-spoke steering wheels. Precautions for using the steering wheel: 1. Control the steering wheel by pushing with the left hand and pulling with the right hand in a smooth and gentle motion; 2. When holding the steering wheel, use your hands to support it to reduce bad driving habits; 3. When turning the steering wheel, apply more turns for more correction, fewer turns for less correction, and quick turns for quick correction. When returning the steering wheel, do it swiftly and accurately.

What are the differences between blue license plates and yellow license plates for 4.2-meter trucks?

The differences between blue license plates and yellow license plates for 4.2-meter trucks are as follows: 1. Different restricted areas: Blue license plates can apply for urban entry permits, and drivers with a C1 or higher license can operate them. Yellow license plates generally cannot enter urban areas, and drivers must hold a B license or higher to operate them. 2. Different highway toll standards: In terms of highway tolls, blue license plate vehicles have lower fees, while yellow license plate vehicles generally have higher fees. Factors such as the size and weight of yellow license plate vehicles contribute to the relatively higher costs. 3. Different requirements for operating permits: Blue license plate vehicles do not need to apply for operating permits, while yellow license plate vehicles must obtain operating permits. Additionally, the application conditions for passenger and freight transport are different.

What are the reasons for inaccurate fuel gauge readings when the car's fuel tank is full?

The reasons for inaccurate fuel gauge readings when the car's fuel tank is full are: 1. Faulty fuel gauge pointer; 2. Damaged fuel level sensor; 3. Broken linkage between the fuel level sensor and float; 4. Contamination on the fuel level sensor; 5. Open circuit or poor connection in the wiring from the fuel level sensor to the ECU; 6. Poor contact or severe wear in the sliding resistor of the fuel position sensor; 7. Abnormal instrument circuit or loose/aged electrical components. The solutions for inaccurate fuel gauge readings are: 1. Regularly inspect and replace the fuel gauge; 2. Adjust the fuel gauge using the air pressure regulation method; 3. Replace the fuel level sensor. The fuel gauge is a device on the fuel tank that indicates the amount of fuel remaining, displaying the available fuel quantity in the car and helping to estimate the remaining driving distance in kilometers.

What are the symptoms of using counterfeit engine oil?

The symptoms of using counterfeit engine oil are: gums and incompletely burned substances can accumulate on the valves, intake passages, and combustion chambers, affecting the engine's operation and causing engine damage. The functions of engine oil are: 1. To separate the surfaces of relatively sliding parts, thereby reducing wear; 2. To carry heat back to the oil tank and then dissipate it into the air to help the radiator cool the engine; 3. To circulate carbon deposits, sludge, and worn metal particles from engine parts back to the oil tank, flushing away dirt generated on the working surfaces of parts through the flow of the lubricating oil. The characteristics indicating the need for an oil change are: 1. Check the viscosity of the oil—if there is no viscosity, the oil needs to be changed; 2. The color of the oil turns black; 3. Excessive black particles, metal shavings, or carbon deposits in the oil.

How to Deal with Water Droplets on the Outside of the Car Windshield?

Here are the ways to handle water droplets on the outside of the car windshield: 1. When there are water droplets on the outside of the glass: Adjust the air conditioning temperature slightly higher, direct the vents away from the windshield, and use the windshield wipers and washer fluid to promptly address the issue of water droplets on the outside. 2. Fogging inside the car: If this occurs during summer after rain, immediately turn on the air conditioning in cooling mode and adjust it to blow air onto the windshield to quickly disperse the fog. If fogging occurs inside the car during winter, when temperatures are generally lower and the cooling effect of the air conditioning is not as fast, immediately open the windows to quickly resolve the fogging. Using the air conditioning in heating mode can also remove fog, but this method is slower and may cause more fogging on the side windows, affecting driving safety and is not recommended.
