Lubricating oil is added to the oil-water separator. Here are the specific details: 1. No oil needed: In fact, the oil mist lubricator doesn't just add oil to mechanical valves, but also to the rear cylinders. The left component is an oil-water separator + pressure regulator, which doesn't require oil. 2. Oil needed: The right component is an oil mist lubricator that requires oil. The oil quantity is marked on the cup, and the adjusting valve above is used to regulate the oil amount. Its main function is to lubricate moving parts in the pneumatic control system. For lubricating oil, refer to SMC requirements: Turbine Oil No.1. 3. Oil-water separator: Generally used in diesel vehicles, installed near the fuel tank to separate water from diesel fuel. Diesel flows from the fuel tank through the oil-water separator, then to the diesel filter, before entering the diesel pump and high-pressure fuel pump.

Is Braking Required in the School Zone for Subject Three?

According to the requirements of the Subject Three driving test, upon hearing the voice prompt 'Approaching school ahead,' the examinee should slow down (apply brakes) or ensure the speed is below 30km/h before entering the zone, observe left and right (turn head), yield to students, and proceed only after confirming safety. Failure to slow down as required, not observing traffic on both sides, or not stopping to yield to pedestrians will result in a deduction of 100 points. Proceeding straight through an intersection: Upon hearing the voice prompt 'Approaching intersection ahead,' the examinee should slow down (apply brakes), observe the road traffic conditions, proceed according to traffic signals, and maintain a speed below 30km/h when passing through the intersection. Stopping inside the intersection is prohibited. Passing a bus stop: Upon hearing the voice prompt 'Approaching bus stop,' the examinee should slow down (apply brakes) or ensure the speed is below 30km/h before entering the zone, observe left and right (turn head), yield to buses and pedestrians, and proceed only after confirming safety.

What causes the jerking when accelerating at low speeds in a GL8?

The reasons for jerking when accelerating at low speeds in a GL8 are as follows: 1. Excessive carbon buildup in the throttle, fuel injectors, and intake manifold: Many malfunctions are caused by carbon buildup, and some vehicles may experience jerking related to carbon deposits. It is recommended to regularly clean carbon deposits. 2. Poor fuel quality: The use of substandard or incompatible fuel can lead to incomplete combustion. 3. Faulty spark plugs or ignition coils causing misfires: It is necessary to have these checked and repaired at a maintenance facility to avoid further safety hazards. Jerking when accelerating at low speeds can be a normal phenomenon under certain circumstances, with specific reasons as follows: 1. For manual transmission vehicles: When driving in a semi-clutch state, accelerating or decelerating can cause a jerking sensation, which becomes more pronounced with deeper throttle application. 2. For automatic transmission vehicles: There may be a slight jerking sensation when upshifting during acceleration, and it becomes more noticeable when forcefully downshifting and then upshifting with heavy throttle application.

What does the pressure value on the tire indicate?

The pressure value on the tire indicates the maximum pressure the tire can withstand. It is important to pay attention to the tire pressure value regularly, as abnormal tire pressure can cause certain hazards. Hazards of over-inflation: The contact area between the tread and the ground decreases, leading to severe wear in the center of the tire crown; the adhesion between the tire and the ground is reduced, which decreases braking efficiency and weakens the vehicle's braking performance; the cushioning performance is reduced, lowering ride comfort; when the tire is severely damaged, over-inflation can also pose a risk of tire blowout. Hazards of under-inflation: The contact area between the tread and the ground increases, causing severe wear on both sides of the tire crown; the adhesion between the tire and the ground increases, leading to higher fuel consumption; the cushioning performance is reduced, lowering ride comfort. In fact, both over-inflation and under-inflation can affect ride comfort.

How to Tell if a Car Has Been Flooded?

To determine whether a car has been flooded, you can use the following methods: Pull out the seat belts completely to check for signs of water damage; inspect the carpets for mold or unusual odors; and look for rust on metal parts. Below are some details about these identification methods: 1. Unusually low price: Due to the poor performance of a flooded vehicle, the original owner is often eager to sell it, which drives the price down. If consumers find that the price of a car is significantly lower than the market average, they should be extra cautious and carefully verify the vehicle's origin and technical condition. 2. Mud traces: Generally, when dealers receive a flooded car, they perform a basic cleaning, but some traces may still be missed. If consumers find mud traces in areas such as the four doors, seats, or trunk, especially if there is a significant accumulation of mud in the engine compartment, they should pay extra attention. 3. Interior modifications: After a car has been flooded, some owners might replace interior components such as seat covers or even the entire seats. Therefore, if consumers notice any modifications or updates to the interior, they should be vigilant and pay close attention to areas like the carpets and door panels for signs of alteration.

What is the National V Standard Logo?

The logo for the National V standard is the letter 'v'. Below is a partial introduction to the National V standard: 1. Standard Overview: The National V standard is equivalent to the EU's Euro 5 standard, which has been implemented in the EU since 2009. It imposes stricter limits on vehicle emissions such as nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. Each upgrade from National I to National IV reduces single-vehicle pollution by 30% to 50%. As of January 2013, the National V standard was still in the solicitation phase. 2. Implementation Time: The National V standard was implemented nationwide on January 1, 2017, as the fifth stage of the national vehicle emission standards. Cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, and parts of Guangdong have already begun enforcing the National V standard. Starting April 1, 2016, all imported, sold, and registered light-duty gasoline vehicles, light-duty diesel passenger vehicles, and heavy-duty diesel vehicles in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region must comply with the National V emission standard.
