The fuel tank capacity of the Lancer EX-2016 1.8L Manual Black & White Limited Edition is 59L. It is equipped with a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission (MT). The drivetrain is front-engine, front-wheel drive. The front suspension is a MacPherson strut independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension. In the same class, the fuel tank capacity of the Toyota Allion-2021 2.0L Aspiration Edition is 50L, and the BYD F3-2020 1.5L Manual Classic Edition also has a fuel tank capacity of 50L. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the nominal capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety level, and there is still some space from the safety level to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow for fuel expansion when the temperature rises, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may be larger than the nominal tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle is close to E, it indicates low fuel, and when it is near F, it means the fuel level is sufficient.

I've driven a Mitsubishi Lancer for many years, and its fuel tank capacity is around 50 liters, which is quite practical. Based on my experience, a full tank can last between 400 to 500 kilometers, depending on road conditions and driving habits, with an average fuel consumption of about 8 liters. I think fellow car owners should avoid waiting until the fuel light comes on to refuel, as it can damage the fuel pump and affect battery life. Regularly check the sealing ring of the fuel tank cap to prevent leaks or moisture intrusion, which can extend component lifespan. For long trips, refueling in advance is safer to avoid delays from not finding a gas station in time. Overall, this capacity design balances the needs of daily commuting and short trips, offering simple and reliable maintenance.

Can a cracked windshield from a stone impact be repaired?

Small cracks in the windshield can be repaired, but large cracks cannot. If the crack is in the primary viewing area, repair is also not recommended. Hazards of windshield cracks: While driving, the pressure on the windshield increases with speed and wind velocity, causing the crack to expand. This can impair visibility and compromise driving safety. Crack repair method: Clean and wipe the cracked area thoroughly, ensuring removal of any debris in the crack to avoid leaving marks after repair. Align the center of the suction cup base with the repair position and secure it. Attach the pressurizing device to the suction cup base over the repair spot, then unscrew the upper pressurizing rod after confirming proper alignment. Pour the repair fluid into the top opening of the pressurizing device and screw the rod back into the base. Wait for the repair fluid to penetrate and cure (approximately 10 minutes), then unscrew the rod, wait one minute, and screw it back in to remove air from the crack. Finally, remove the observation plate and repair device, and scrape off any residual repair fluid with a blade.

Can You Still Drive with Increased Engine Oil?

You cannot drive with increased engine oil. If your car experiences an increase in engine oil, you should stop using it. After this occurs, you should check the cause of the oil increase and only continue using the vehicle after the issue has been repaired. Here is an introduction to the use of engine oil in cars: 1. Oil Level. The engine oil level in a car should not fall below the min mark on the dipstick or exceed the max mark on the dipstick, as both scenarios can affect the normal operation of the engine. 2. Environmental Changes. Increased engine oil is also known as oil dilution. Under normal conditions, as the engine temperature rises, any mixed-in fuel will evaporate and re-enter the combustion chamber through the PCV valve for burning. However, if you drive short distances in low-temperature environments, the engine may not warm up sufficiently, preventing the mixed-in fuel from fully evaporating and leading to increased engine oil.

Should You Turn Off the External Air Circulation When Parking?

It mainly depends on the external air environment. If the air quality is good, you don't need to turn it off. However, if you are parking in places with poor air quality, such as a garage, it is better to turn off the external air circulation to prevent the car from being filled with low-quality air, which affects the riding environment. Below is other relevant information: 1. Benefits of turning off external air circulation: When you turn off the external air circulation, it can prevent poor-quality air from outside from entering the car and also help maintain the internal temperature of the car. After turning on the internal air circulation, in areas like underground garages, traffic jams, or sandy and dusty roads, it prevents exhaust fumes, polluted air from garages, and dust from entering the car. 2. The role of external air circulation: External air circulation ventilates the car, allowing stale, oxygen-depleted air inside to be expelled and fresh air to flow in. If you are using the air conditioning in the car, it is recommended to turn on the internal air circulation mode, which can speed up the cooling or heating effect of the air conditioning.

Can I Arrange My Own Driving Practice Time?

Driving practice time can be arranged by yourself. However, regulations stipulate that only 4 class hours of driving practice are allowed per day, with 1 class hour approximately equal to 1 hour. In practice, driving practice time is mostly arranged through coordination between the student and the instructor. Additional Information: 1. Driving schools allow flexible coordination of practice time: Normally, a maximum of 4 hours of driving practice can be accumulated per day, but in reality, driving schools arrange it flexibly. Practicing for one hour or two hours a day is acceptable. In some remote counties, during the off-season, the instructor may directly provide a car for practice, with two students sharing one car and taking turns to practice. They can practice all day until they don't want to continue and then go home. 2. Self-arranged driving practice time: Of course, students can only practice when they have free time, but it also depends on whether the driving school or instructor can match the schedule. Usually, it is decided through discussion between both parties. For example, if a student has time on a certain day and the driving school or instructor can arrange immediate practice, then they will practice.

What Causes a Car's Air Conditioning to Blow Air After a Few Minutes Delay?

Car air conditioning blowing air after a few minutes delay may indicate an issue with the resistor. Here are some important considerations regarding car air conditioning: 1. Select the appropriate fan speed setting: During normal vehicle operation, to prevent excessive frosting on the evaporator which could affect the air conditioning system's performance, the air delivery speed and temperature control should not be operated simultaneously. When driving below 25km/h, set the fan speed to the low setting to avoid insufficient power generation and inadequate cooling. 2. Adjust air vent direction: Following the principle that cold air sinks while warm air rises, the correct adjustment method is to direct the vents upward when using cooling mode and downward when using heating mode. 3. Regular winter activation: In regions with relatively warm winters such as Guangdong and Hainan, some car owners don't use their air conditioning throughout winter. Prolonged disuse can cause rubber seals to deteriorate and internal lubricants to dry out. Periodic activation allows components to receive proper lubrication and maintain good condition. Therefore, it's recommended to run the air conditioning every 1-3 weeks during winter.

What's the reason for not being able to shift gears when stepping on the clutch?

Here are the reasons for not being able to shift gears when stepping on the clutch: 1. Foreign objects: If the clutch is fully depressed but the gear cannot be engaged, there may be foreign objects inside the clutch, causing improper adjustment of the booster push rod's travel. 2. Air in the oil circuit: The presence of air in the clutch's oil circuit can lead to incomplete separation of the clutch disc. Below are extended explanations of related content: 1. Clutch: The clutch is located within the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is secured to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. 2. Function: The clutch's role is to allow a gradual connection between the engine and the transmission, ensuring a smooth start for the vehicle. It temporarily disconnects the link between the engine and the transmission to facilitate gear shifting and reduce impact during shifts. During emergency braking, it acts to separate, preventing overload in the transmission and other drivetrain components, thereby providing a certain level of protection.
