The reasons why the car fuel tank cap cover does not close properly are: deformation of the fuel tank cap; damage to the locking mechanism of the fuel tank cap; or damage to the fuel tank cap latch or spring. Below is relevant information: Fuel tank: A fuel tank is a container for storing fuel on an aircraft or automobile, and it is also a specialized container for storing hydraulic oil or hydraulic fluid in a hydraulic system. Fuel tank classification: Fuel tanks can be divided into two types: open tanks and closed tanks. They must have sufficient capacity. To maintain oil cleanliness, the tank should have a sealed cover plate around it, equipped with an air filter. The bottom of the tank should be at least 150mm above the ground, and sufficient attention should be paid to the anti-corrosion treatment of the inner surface of the tank.

What is the difference between an original hood and a factory hood?

The dimensions of the original hood and the factory hood are the same, but the paint on the original hood is not factory paint, which may cause color deviation over time. The following is a related introduction about the engine hood: 1. Introduction to the engine hood: The engine hood (also known as the engine cover) is the most prominent body component and one of the parts that car buyers frequently inspect. The main requirements for the engine hood are heat insulation, sound insulation, lightweight, and high rigidity. 2. Principle of the engine hood: The engine hood usually opens by flipping backward, though a small portion flips forward. When flipped backward, the engine hood should open to a predetermined angle without contacting the front windshield, maintaining a minimum gap of about 10 millimeters. To prevent accidental opening due to vibration while driving, the front end of the engine hood is equipped with a safety lock hook mechanism. The lock switch is located under the dashboard in the cabin, and the engine hood should lock simultaneously when the car door is locked.

How to Determine Idle Motor Failure?

To determine whether the idle motor is faulty, the simplest and most direct method is to check for any fault codes. If present, refer to the displayed fault codes to identify the cause of the issue and address it accordingly. Below is some relevant information about the idle motor: 1. Introduction to the Idle Motor: The idle motor is a component that controls the idle speed of a motor vehicle. When the engine runs without load, it is referred to as idling. 2. Function of the Idle Motor: The idle motor is primarily responsible for managing the vehicle's idle speed, aiming to adjust the idle according to the engine load during idling. During idling, it alters the cross-sectional area of the idle air passage based on the engine temperature and load, ensuring optimal idle speed under various conditions. The idle stepper motor is mounted on the throttle body and is used by the engine controller to regulate the engine's idle speed. When the engine speed deviates from idle, the throttle valve adjusts to control the amount of air entering the intake manifold, which is mechanically operated by the accelerator pedal cable.

What is the plastic next to the fender?

The plastic next to the fender is called the wheel arch trim. Below is relevant information about the fender: 1. Introduction to the fender: The fender, also known as the wing panel (Fender), is categorized into front fender and rear fender based on its installation position. It refers to a type of covering component on motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles. 2. Function of the fender: The fender is also called the wing panel (named for its shape and position resembling a bird's wing on older vehicle bodies). The fender is located on the outer side of the wheel. Its function, according to fluid dynamics, is to reduce the drag coefficient, making the vehicle's movement more stable. Based on installation position, it is divided into front fender and rear fender. The front fender prevents gravel and mud kicked up by the wheels from splashing onto the underside of the vehicle during driving, thereby reducing damage and corrosion to the chassis.
