The function of a car radiator is to dissipate heat. The coolant absorbs heat in the water jacket, flows to the radiator where the heat is dissipated, and then returns to the water jacket to circulate, thereby regulating the temperature. The working principle of a car radiator is: when the engine's water temperature is high, the water pump circulates the coolant repeatedly to lower the engine's temperature, achieving the purpose of protecting the engine. In winter, if the water temperature is too low, the circulation of water will stop to prevent the engine from becoming too cold. The cleaning method for a car radiator is: 1. Remove the bumper to locate the position of the radiator; 2. Adjust the water gun nozzle to a spray pattern and set the pressure to an appropriate level, then rinse the surface of the radiator; 3. Check if the radiator fins are damaged; 4. Reinstall the bumper in the reverse order of removal.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Camry 2.0L?

The fuel tank capacity of the Camry 2.0L version is 60L. This data is officially released, and Camry owners can also check it on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Camry uses 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 5.5-5.8L per 100km for the 2.0L version. A full tank can cover a distance of 1034-1091km. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. 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 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing. If the fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.
