Spark plug gap standard value is between 0.8-0.9mm. Methods to determine if a spark plug is damaged: Remove the spark plug for observation. Judge the condition of the spark plug based on the following appearance colors. A normal spark plug's insulator skirt and electrodes appear gray-white, gray-yellow, or light brown. A properly functioning spark plug has a reddish-brown insulator skirt, with electrode gap between 0.8-0.9mm, and no signs of electrode burn. If the spark plug has oil stains or deposits but isn't damaged, it can continue to be used after cleaning off the oil and deposits. If the spark plug is severely damaged, showing signs like blistering at the top, black streaks, cracks, or melted electrodes, the cause of damage should be identified. After troubleshooting, replace with a new spark plug. Additionally, if the spark plug appears black as if smoked, it indicates incorrect heat range selection or rich fuel mixture, with oil creeping up.

Does the Mercedes-Benz E-Class have a fragrance system?

Mercedes-Benz E-Class does not have a fragrance system. Advantages of the fragrance system: The fragrance generator is part of the vehicle air conditioning component. Unlike any traditional form of car perfume, the fragrance generating device absorbs fragrance through a micro-pump, then circulates and disperses the fragrance through the vehicle's ventilation ducts. It does not have the pungent smell of traditional car perfumes, and the rhythm of fragrance dispersion is just right, as if bathing in the fresh air of nature, rich yet pleasantly comfortable. Features of the fragrance system: The fragrance spray generator can adjust the interior scent according to personal needs. It does not permanently alter the interior odor, and fragrance molecules will not deposit on fabric surfaces or passengers' clothing.

What Causes Inaccurate Fuel Gauge Readings in Cars?

The reasons for inaccurate fuel gauge readings in cars are: 1. The fuel pump cannot uniformly reflect gasoline consumption; 2. The fuel level sensor becomes contaminated and isn't cleaned promptly; 3. The linkage between the fuel level sensor and float gets stuck, preventing normal float movement. Precautions when refueling include: 1. Don't wait until the warning light comes on to avoid extremely low fuel levels; 2. Choose to refuel during cooler morning or evening temperatures; 3. Avoid completely filling the tank during city driving to prevent spark plug failures caused by fuel overflow; 4. Don't refuel during thunderstorms to prevent stray currents from the fuel nozzle entering the fuel tank, which could create fire or explosion hazards.
