It is used to remove air from the engine fuel line. When there is air in the engine's fuel passage, such as in a newly manufactured vehicle or when the fuel in the tank is exhausted, the engine may fail to start because the engine fuel pump only operates when the engine is running. In such cases, a hand primer pump is used to pump fuel from the tank into the fuel passage. Below are the symptoms and causes of faults detected using a hand primer pump: 1. If fuel mixed with air overflows from the vent screw during pumping, and pressing the handle feels resistant while the discharged fuel is minimal, it indicates a clogged filter element or fuel line between the fuel supply pump and the high-pressure fuel pump, resulting in reduced fuel supply. 2. If the vent screw is not loosened and pressing the handle for an extended period always feels relatively easy.

What are the causes of cylinder scuffing after an engine overhaul?

When cylinder scuffing occurs in an engine, the following are the detailed reasons for its occurrence: 1. Improper assembly during overhaul leading to cylinder scuffing. The components of a vehicle engine and their combinations are highly precise. Any improper assembly or coordination of parts (including piston rings and cylinder liners) during disassembly and overhaul, or prolonged high-speed or overload operation without proper break-in after the overhaul, can cause engine failures such as cylinder scuffing. 2. Poor air filter condition can lead to excessive engine wear and even cylinder scuffing incidents. The reason is that dust in the air can pass through a faulty air filter into the combustion chamber and be carried into the crankcase by the reciprocating motion of the piston, mixing with the lubricating oil. The dust mainly contains silicon compounds, which are harder than the cast iron or steel piston rings and cylinder liners, thus causing cylinder scuffing. Therefore, dust poses significant harm to engines, and numerous vehicles in China undergo engine overhauls annually due to such failures. 3. Under normal circumstances, if the lubricating oil quality is poor, bearing seizure is more likely to occur earlier than cylinder scuffing. This is because bearing operating conditions are more demanding, requiring high-quality oil to ensure lubrication; whereas cylinder liners are made of better materials and, barring special circumstances, cylinder scuffing usually does not occur first. Cylinder scuffing incidents can be caused by mechanical failures or lubrication system issues, but they are less related to oil quality. The key lies in how the engine is maintained and used on a regular basis.

Do New Energy Vehicles Need to Be Fully Charged?

New energy vehicles do not necessarily need to be fully charged. If you are driving a new energy vehicle for long-distance travel or on highways, it is recommended to fully charge the battery. However, if you are only driving within the city or for short distances, you can charge it as needed. New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources, integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving, resulting in advanced technical principles and featuring new technologies and structures. The maintenance methods for new energy vehicles are: 1. Correctly grasp the charging time; 2. Protect the charger; 3. Regularly check the battery to maintain sufficient power, avoid high-current discharge, and prevent power loss during storage; 4. Clean promptly and ensure waterproofing.

What are the causes of road collapse?

Road collapse causes include natural collapse and human-induced collapse. Below are the specific causes of road collapse: Natural collapse: Surface rocks and soil collapse downward due to natural factors such as seismic vibrations, rainwater infiltration into the ground, gravitational pressure, underground erosion and hollowing out. Examples include loess collapse in the Loess Plateau region, lava collapse in volcanic lava distribution areas, and freeze-thaw collapse in permafrost regions. Human-induced collapse: Ground collapse caused by human activities, such as underground mining operations that create a certain range of goaf areas, causing the overlying rocks and soil to lose support and leading to ground collapse; other causes include tunnel drainage or sudden water inflow during construction, excessive groundwater extraction, and reservoir water storage or diversion.
