Epoxy resin adhesive can be used to repair a leaking fuel tank. Epoxy resin adhesive is the most common industrial adhesive, and its high strength makes it effective for patching fuel tank leaks. The meanings of E and F on the fuel gauge are as follows: 1. E: E stands for Empty, indicating that the fuel in the tank is insufficient or nearly depleted. 2. F: F stands for Full, indicating that the tank is full. Additionally, when the car is low on fuel, a warning light will illuminate on the dashboard; the fuel warning light typically resembles a fuel tank icon, and it is important to pay extra attention at this time to avoid losing power while driving.

Once when I was driving on vacation, I noticed an oil stain where I parked my car. Upon inspection, I found a small crack in the fuel tank. I foolishly thought about buying glue from the supermarket to patch it up, but after consulting a mechanic, I learned that gasoline is highly corrosive—ordinary glue wouldn’t hold and could even enlarge the hole, posing a huge risk. Fuel tanks endure high temperatures and vibrations, and if the glue fails, it could lead to worse leaks, toxic fumes, or even fires. If you encounter a fuel leak, first turn off the engine and avoid driving. Use a container to catch the leaking fuel to prevent pollution, and immediately call for a tow truck to take the car to a professional repair shop. They might use specialized epoxy resin to seal small holes, but in most cases, the entire fuel tank needs replacement. Regularly inspect the undercarriage to avoid damage from rocks—these small tips can save you a lot of trouble.

If none of these issues are found, take the motorcycle to an authorized service center for inspection and repair.

Has There Been a Recall for Tenth-Generation Accord Rear Tire Wear?

No recall has been issued yet. The causes of tire wear are generally likely to be deformation of suspension system tie rods, loose ball joints, or damaged rubber bushings. It is recommended to regularly inspect the vehicle chassis, ensure proper torque for chassis bolts, and promptly replace any damaged ball joints or rubber bushings. Below is more relevant information: Rear tire wear: One reason for rear tire wear is related to aging tires beyond their service life, followed by wheel rim deformation or excessive wheel bearing clearance. Other causes include loose suspension and bracket components, shock absorber issues, or incorrect four-wheel alignment data. Four-wheel alignment: The purpose of four-wheel alignment is to prevent vehicle deviation. Theoretically, four-wheel alignment should be performed approximately every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers. If you frequently drive long distances or on mountainous roads, the interval may need to be shortened. However, if the vehicle shows signs of deviation, a four-wheel alignment should be performed regardless of mileage to ensure driving safety.

Does pressing the line with the car body in Subject 2 result in penalty points?

Pressing the line with the car body in Subject 2 results in penalty points. Relevant information is introduced as follows: 1. Not following the prescribed route or sequence of driving directly results in 100 penalty points, the car body crossing the line results in 100 penalty points, failing to fully enter the garage during reverse parking results in 100 penalty points, and stopping midway results in 100 penalty points. 2. Reverse parking into the garage is an assessment point in the driver's test, which involves correctly reversing the vehicle into the garage from both sides while in motion. 3. In Subject 2 reverse parking, pressing the line with the mirrors (rearview mirrors) does not count as crossing the line. As long as the car body and wheels do not press the line, it is not considered crossing the line and does not fall within the scope of the car body crossing the line. No penalty points are given as long as the line is not crossed or pressed. 4. In the reverse parking test, tilting of the car body after reversing into the garage does not result in penalty points, as long as the car body does not press or exceed the garage boundary lines.
