If the car fails to start after refueling and it's confirmed that there are no issues with the car itself, it is generally due to the following possibilities: 1. The fuel pump pressure is reduced, leading to insufficient fuel pressure. 2. Poor-quality gasoline was added, resulting in inferior fuel quality (containing excessive impurities or water). 3. The weather is too hot, and the tank was overfilled, causing thermal expansion and contraction, which creates vapor lock in the fuel line. 1. Choose reputable gas stations: The quality of the fuel affects the amount of carbon deposits on the fuel injectors, and clogging caused by substandard fuel is common. Always refuel at established gas stations, preferably those rated by Sinopec or PetroChina, to ensure fuel quality. Remember to get a receipt after refueling as proof. 2. Avoid refueling during thunderstorms: This is also a safety precaution to prevent lightning strikes and avoid fires. Since gasoline is highly flammable, during refueling, flammable fuel vapors can disperse into the surrounding air. If struck by lightning, the consequences could be catastrophic.
