An automobile fuel tank consists of a fuel tank cap, baffle plate, fuel gauge sensor, and filler neck. The most commonly used materials for fuel tanks are metal materials (steel plates and aluminum alloy), with additional anti-corrosion, anti-rust, and impact-resistant treatments (such as adding buffer rubber) on the surface. Fuel tanks can be roughly divided into: the tank body, fuel pump, filler pipe, etc. The function of the fuel tank cap: The fuel tank cap is usually designed with claws and a corrugated spring to press a rubber gasket, clamping the edge of the fuel tank opening to ensure sealing. Some caps are equipped with a locking device to prevent detachment or loss. The function of the baffle plate: The fuel tank generally has a baffle plate inside, which separates the return oil area from the pump's suction area, increases the circulation path of the oil, reduces the circulation speed, and helps with cooling, heat dissipation, bubble separation, and impurity sedimentation. The function of the fuel gauge sensor: Installed inside the fuel tank, it is a sliding rheostat linked with the fuel level float. The float and sliding rheostat form a small assembly, connected to the fuel gauge to indicate the amount of fuel in the tank. The function of the filler neck: The filter screen at the filler neck is used to filter out large impurities in the fuel.

What type of helmet should be worn when riding a scooter?

It is best to wear a full-face helmet when riding a scooter. Here is some relevant information: 1. Theoretically, regardless of the type of vehicle, a full-face helmet is the safest. If you want to balance daily riding with safety, you can choose a modular helmet. 2. Purchase a genuine helmet based on personal needs and comfort standards. Methods for correctly selecting a helmet: 1. The helmet shell should be made of hard, durable materials that can absorb a significant amount of impact energy; the buffer layer should use materials that can absorb collision energy effectively, are non-toxic, and harmless, covering the head protection area; the lining should consist of sweat-absorbing and breathable materials; the fastening device must ensure the helmet fits securely on the head; the visor should be made of materials that meet light transmission and impact resistance requirements, with a light transmittance of no less than 85%. 2. Helmet weight requirements: full-face helmet <1.6kg, half helmet <1.3kg, horizontal field of vision >105°, upward field of vision >7°. 3. The helmet must have fixed markings, such as the product name, manufacturer's name and address, trademark, product type, model, specifications, production date, batch number, or serial number. 4. Helmets are divided into large, medium, and small sizes based on head circumference: large 580~600mm, medium 560~580mm, small 540~560mm. When purchasing a helmet, choose the appropriate size according to your head circumference. 5. The helmet should be discarded after experiencing a significant impact accident. 6. When selecting a helmet, also pay attention to the following: hold both sides of the helmet with each hand, then pull it upward over your head. To remove it, do the opposite. After wearing the helmet, shake it back and forth and side to side to test if the size is appropriate. The fit should be snug but not tight or wobbly. Do not weigh the helmet by hand; the correct method is to wear it and test it with your head. If your neck does not feel the weight, it is acceptable.

Why is there abnormal noise when stepping on the accelerator with the air conditioning on?

1. The abnormal noise is related to engine speed: Most common abnormal noises in the engine depend on the engine speed state. The noise exists during idle or low-speed operation. Possible causes include: excessive clearance between the piston and cylinder wall; overly tight piston pin or connecting rod bearing assembly; excessive clearance between the tappet and its guide hole; wear on the camshaft profile. 2. The abnormal noise is related to load: Many abnormal noises in the engine are clearly related to its load. When a cylinder is cut off, the noise disappears or reduces. Possible causes include: piston knocking; loose connecting rod bearing; piston ring leakage; broken piston pin. 3. The abnormal noise is related to temperature: Noise occurs at low temperatures and decreases or even disappears as the temperature rises. Possible causes include: excessive clearance between the piston and cylinder wall; piston issues due to incorrect depth and width of the main bearing oil groove.

Why doesn't the Nissan Sunny move when stepping on the accelerator?

In fact, there are many reasons why a Nissan Sunny doesn't move when stepping on the accelerator, and it cannot be directly determined. Multiple factors can lead to the above malfunction, such as low fuel pressure or air in the fuel line, poor air flow meter signal in the circuit, poor throttle position sensor signal, damaged ignition coil, delayed ignition timing, or spark plug gaps that are too large or too small, all of which can cause the car to not accelerate when stepping on the accelerator. Additionally, a clogged three-way catalytic converter could also cause this situation. Moreover, if the RPM rises normally and the engine sound is loud, it might be in an idle state without being in gear, requiring a transmission check. If the RPM doesn't rise at all when stepping on the accelerator, a comprehensive engine inspection is needed. If this occurs, it is advisable not to take action on your own and to go to a 4S shop for relevant checks as soon as possible. However, since we're on this topic, we can list a few fault cases: If the car doesn't move when stepping on the accelerator, it is recommended to check the spark plugs, high-voltage lines, and ignition coils at a service station, check the fuel pump pressure, see if the fuel injectors are clogged, and also check if there is any misfiring in the ignition system. Secondly, this might also be a common issue with automatic transmissions. If it's a manual-automatic transmission, try switching to manual mode and pulling back 1-2 gears; if it's a pure automatic, try releasing the accelerator slightly and then pressing it down firmly again. Furthermore, this could also be a fuel quality issue. If you've recently refueled and this problem didn't exist before refueling, then there's a 70% chance that the fuel from the gas station is problematic, possibly mixed with water or other liquids. If water enters the engine through the intake, it could cause the air pipe to bend or the piston to be damaged, leading to insufficient cylinder pressure and thus the car not accelerating when stepping on the accelerator. Another possibility is long-term lack of maintenance, causing various systems to age and resulting in the car not accelerating when stepping on the accelerator.

Can my original license plate be transferred to a used car?

Yes, but only if the original license plate has been used on the original vehicle for at least one year. If the plate was used for less than one year before the vehicle transfer, the original license plate will be invalidated. The plate can only be retained if it has been used on the original vehicle for more than one year, with a retention period of one year. Additional information: For the transfer, you need to present the identity proof of the vehicle owner, proof of ownership transfer, the vehicle registration certificate, the vehicle license, and other required documents. Below is relevant information about vehicle transfer: 1. Required materials: For vehicle transfer, both parties need to provide copies of their ID cards, the registration certificate, and the vehicle license. Then, pay the transaction tax at the used car exchange and complete the transfer procedures at the vehicle management office of the traffic police department. 2. Related documents: The documents required for vehicle transfer include the seller's ID card, the vehicle license, the vehicle registration certificate, the vehicle invoice, the license plate, the VIN, the insurance policy, and proof of tax payment.

Which Terminal to Disconnect When Cutting Off Car Battery Power?

It is necessary to disconnect the negative terminal, not the positive one, and of course, there is no need to disconnect both terminals. Below is relevant information about the battery: 1. Battery: The battery, also known as a storage battery, is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. The battery referred to here is a lead-acid battery, which is mainly made of lead and its oxides, with sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. The normal service life of a car battery varies from 1 to 8 years, largely depending on the vehicle's usage. 2. Battery Replacement: If the battery is dead, it is recommended to first measure the battery voltage. If using a multimeter for inspection, measure the battery voltage when starting the engine. You can first use a high-frequency discharge machine or a battery tester to measure. Under a load current of no less than 110 amps, the minimum voltage should not be lower than 9.6 volts and should remain stable for 5 seconds. If the voltage is below 9.6 volts but can remain stable for 5 seconds, it indicates over-discharge, and the battery should be recharged promptly. If the voltage is below 9.6 volts and cannot remain stable for 5 seconds, dropping rapidly to 0 volts or close to 0 volts, it suggests a possible battery fault that may require replacement.
