The black plastic shell of the headlight is made of polycarbonate plastic. Reasons for using polycarbonate plastic: Compared to glass, plastic has strong elasticity. Under non-violent impact conditions, it has a buffering effect and is not easily broken. Even if it breaks, it causes much less harm to pedestrians or animals on the road than glass. Plastic is better than glass in terms of mechanical properties, strong plasticity, stable chemical properties resistant to acid and alkali corrosion, and light weight. Glass: In the past, vehicles used glass lamp covers mainly due to technological limitations at that time. The strength and transparency of plastic could not match the high transparency of glass, and it could not maintain its shape and color under strong light or high temperatures. Nowadays, plastic lamp covers can achieve the transparency and color stability of glass, and glass is significantly heavier than plastic.

What are the advantages of multi-point fuel injection?

The advantages of multi-point fuel injection are high efficiency, fuel economy, and mature technology, as detailed below: High combustion efficiency: Compared to traditional single-point fuel injection technology, multi-point fuel injection has electronic fuel injectors installed in each intake manifold, forming a mixture in the intake pipe. The mixture is more uniform, so the combustion efficiency is higher than that of traditional single-point fuel injection. Higher combustion efficiency means the engine's output power is greater. More economical and fuel-efficient air-fuel ratio control: Compared to traditional single-point fuel injection technology, multi-point fuel injection technology can adopt sequential injection, so the control of the air-fuel ratio is higher and more precise than traditional methods. This reduces toxic emissions and is more economical and fuel-efficient. Mature technology: Whether compared to traditional single-point fuel injection technology or newly developed direct injection technology, multi-point fuel injection technology has been developed for some time and is superior to the former two in terms of engine break-in and economy.

What Are the Hazards of Filling Up the Fuel Tank in Summer?

Filling up the fuel tank can lead to poor fuel efficiency and high risks. The details are as follows: Hazards of filling up the fuel tank: Worse Fuel Economy: Studies show that for every 100kg increase in weight, a car's fuel consumption rises by 6-8%. If manufacturers didn't consider this, why not increase the tank capacity further? More fuel means greater vehicle mass, resulting only in higher fuel consumption. Increased Health Risks: Overfilling the tank causes liquid fuel to flow directly into the charcoal canister, damaging its vapor absorption function. Evaporated fuel gases (containing carcinogens like benzene) are released, posing long-term health hazards to passengers. Clogged Ventilation Holes: The small vent holes on the fuel tank cap are used to balance internal and external pressure. Once clogged by fuel, negative pressure builds up inside the tank. The fuel pump fails to draw fuel, leading to unstable fuel supply—causing the car to jerk or even fail to start.

Which mode is more fuel-efficient for a car with manual-automatic transmission?

For a manual-automatic transmission, the D (Drive) mode is the most fuel-efficient. If operated correctly, the M (Manual) mode can also be very fuel-efficient. Below is an introduction to the manual-automatic transmission: Introduction: A manual-automatic transmission combines manual and automatic shifting modes. This transmission integrates the advantages of both automatic and manual transmissions, minimizing power loss in the shifting system. The manual mode allows drivers to freely adjust gears and RPM according to their preferences, providing a thrilling and sporty driving experience with enhanced driving pleasure. Manual mode acceleration and overtaking techniques: Using manual mode for overtaking. Drivers familiar with automatic transmissions know that acceleration in automatic mode is not as responsive as in manual mode, especially when overtaking. In D mode, the speed does not increase rapidly even with heavy throttle input, as the transmission shifts sequentially. However, with a manual-automatic transmission, the situation is different. When accelerating to overtake, simply switch to manual mode without braking—just shift the gear lever into manual mode. Then, pressing the throttle firmly will result in a rapid speed increase, making overtaking smooth and effortless, with responsiveness comparable to a manual transmission.

What is the reason why the old Volkswagen POL cannot start after a power failure?

Possible causes include battery failure, fuel supply system failure, intake system failure, exhaust system failure, etc. Solution: When the car experiences such abnormal conditions, the main reason is usually a problem with the fuel pump, where the carbon brushes inside the fuel pump are stuck to the brush holder. Field solution: If you're on a trip and the car won't start, don't panic or worry. Remember to locate the tire wrench in the trunk or find a hard object like a stone or brick by the roadside. Then, crawl under the car to find the fuel tank. The fuel pump is located between the triangular brackets of the fuel tank.
