The fuel tank capacity of the Santana 2021 1.5L Manual Fashion Edition is 52.8L. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission (MT). It features front-engine, front-wheel drive configuration. The front suspension is MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a compound torsion beam non-independent suspension. Among vehicles in the same class, the Buick Excelle 2021 Facelift Classic 1.5L Automatic Entry Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 44L, and the Volkswagen Bora 2021 1.5L Manual Fashion Smart Connection Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 50L. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This occurs because the fuel tank capacity specified by manufacturers measures from the tank bottom to the safe fill level, with additional space remaining between the safe fill level and the tank opening. This space ensures that fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing from the tank. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E and F. When the needle approaches E, it indicates low fuel, while nearing F signifies sufficient fuel.

The fuel tank capacity of the new Santana is 55 liters, which is quite suitable for urban commuting and long-distance travel. As someone who has been driving for over a decade, with a daily round-trip commute of over 20 kilometers, a full tank can last for more than 550 kilometers, easily covering a week's needs. The average fuel consumption is around 7 to 8 liters per 100 kilometers, making it more fuel-efficient and cost-effective. In terms of design, the 55-liter capacity doesn’t encroach on trunk space and makes parking easier. For maintenance, it’s recommended to check the fuel tank cap’s seal every six months to avoid fuel evaporation loss. If planning a long trip, such as driving 300 to 500 kilometers on the highway, there’s no need for frequent refueling along the way, saving both hassle and time. Overall, this capacity is a sweet spot for the average driver, ensuring sufficient range while avoiding waste.

How to Test for Car Battery Drain?

Methods to check for car battery drain: 1. Inspect whether the battery voltage and charging output are normal, and check for severe corrosion on battery terminals; 2. Remove the negative battery terminal, set the multimeter to maximum current measurement, connect the red probe to the negative cable, and fix the black probe to the battery terminal; 3. Turn off all electrical appliances inside and outside the vehicle, lock the doors, observe the current reading, adjust to the appropriate range, and record; 4. Wait for about 20 minutes until all vehicle modules enter sleep mode, then read the accurate static discharge current. Car batteries, also known as storage batteries, are a type of cell that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Batteries are categorized into conventional lead-acid batteries, dry-charged batteries, and maintenance-free batteries.

Is it good for a car to be exposed to the sun?

It is not good for a car to be exposed to the sun, as it can damage the car's paint. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can accelerate the aging of the car's interior and release toxic substances from the interior. High tire pressure combined with long exposure to the sun can lead to tire blowouts. Leaving flammable or explosive items inside the car can cause the vehicle to self-ignite under prolonged exposure. Methods for maintaining the car body: 1. Clean promptly after rain or snow; 2. Reduce polishing; 3. Use a protective film for the body; 4. Regularly inspect the car and take rust prevention measures; 5. Choose specialized cleaning tools for the car body. Methods for maintaining the car paint: 1. Wash the car after the engine has cooled down; 2. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight; 3. Clean stains on the car body promptly; 4. Rinse with clean water after rain to prevent acid rain corrosion; 5. Apply wax or glaze.

Can Car Tires Be Repaired?

As long as the tire damage is not severe, it can be repaired through patching. However, if the tire has been patched too many times or the damage is serious, it is recommended to replace it with a new tire. Here are situations where tire replacement is not necessary: 1. Tread damage diameter less than 6mm: In daily use, it is most common for vehicles to be punctured by nails, and often this goes unnoticed at the time. Nails inserted into the tire do not significantly damage the tire's structure; the steel wires, fabric layers, and polyester layers are merely pierced, and a simple repair will suffice. 2. Excessive tread damage: If the tread comes into contact with sharp objects, causing severe tread pattern loss or the tire body to be cut, and the puncture hole exceeds 6mm in diameter, the tire can no longer be repaired. The punctured tire must be replaced to ensure driving safety. 3. Bulging: Bulging is caused by broken cords in the fabric layers. In such cases, the tire must be replaced immediately, as delayed replacement could lead to the danger of a blowout.

Why does the car air conditioner not cool at idle but cools when running?

Specific reasons why the air conditioner does not cool at idle but cools after driving: 1. Air conditioner compressor failure: The pressure between the air conditioner compressor and the expansion valve cannot reach 150Kpa to 200Kpa, causing the refrigerant inside the system to not circulate normally, resulting in the air conditioner not cooling at idle. 2. Expansion valve damage: The expansion valve cannot form high pressure, less than 150Kpa, causing the subsequent evaporator to not cool down, leading to no cooling at idle. 3. Loose or broken air conditioner belt: If the drive belt is too loose, it will slip, accelerating wear and preventing power transmission, resulting in insufficient power at idle, so it does not cool as much. 4. Dirty condenser: The condenser is used for heat exchange. If the surface is too dirty or has too much dust and dirt, it will not cool, naturally causing the air conditioner to not cool. 5. Radiator blockage: The external cooling system will not dissipate heat well, leading to poor heat dissipation at idle, resulting in no cooling at idle.

What Causes a Car to Fail to Start in the Rain?

The reason a car fails to start after rain is due to the engine spark plugs getting wet. Below are specific details about why the car won't start after rain: Solution: Remove the spark plugs, disconnect the fuel injector plug, start the engine to drain any water in the cylinders, replace the engine oil, then reinstall the spark plugs and fuel injector plug, and start the engine. It's important to note that when the car fails to start on a rainy day, do not attempt to start it repeatedly, as this can easily damage the valves. Preventive measures: Check if the spark plugs are leaking electricity, inspect whether the spark plug caps are cracked or loose, examine if the connection between the filter and carburetor is broken, check if the valves are too tight, verify if the ignition system is functioning properly, and avoid driving the car into areas with deep water during rainy days to prevent water from entering the engine.
