When using a car fire extinguisher, the following should be noted: 1. Placement of the fire extinguisher: Ordinary cars can be equipped with a 3 kg to 5 kg fire extinguisher, which should be securely fixed to prevent rolling. Most car fire extinguishers are dry powder extinguishers and can be placed horizontally or vertically; 2. Shelf life of the fire extinguisher: After being stored for a period of time, the pressure in the extinguisher's tank will decrease until it disappears, meaning the dry powder inside cannot be expelled. It is recommended that car owners check the pressure of the fire extinguisher once a month; 3. Proper use of the fire extinguisher: In case of a car fire, first, do not panic. Park the car on the roadside and prepare for self-rescue. Remember to turn off the engine to cut off the fuel supply.

What is the fault when the OBD light appears on the dashboard?

The OBD light appearing on the dashboard is the engine exhaust system fault indicator. OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics in Chinese. This system continuously monitors the operating conditions of the engine and the working status of the exhaust after-treatment system. Once it detects a situation that may cause excessive emissions, it immediately issues a warning. How OBD works: 1. The OBD device monitors multiple systems and components, including the engine, catalytic converter, particulate filter, oxygen sensor, emission control system, fuel system, EGR, etc.; 2. OBD connects to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) through various emission-related component information. The ECU has the function of detecting and analyzing emission-related faults. When an emission fault occurs, the ECU records the fault information and related codes, and issues a warning through the fault light to inform the driver. The ECU ensures access to and processing of fault information through a standard data interface.

How to Clean a Car Fuel Tank?

Methods for cleaning a car fuel tank: 1. Exterior: Inspect and clean the exterior of the fuel tank, checking for dents and leaks in the tank, fuel lines, and connectors. Tighten the fuel tank bracket mounting bolts. If any dents or leaks are found, remove and repair the damaged components. 2. Interior: Open the fuel tank cap, remove the filter screen, and siphon out some of the fuel, leaving about 30L of fuel in the tank. Insert a clean compressed air pipe into the fuel tank through the filler neck, reaching the bottom. Use air pressure to agitate the fuel at the bottom of the tank for cleaning. During cleaning, you can slightly block the filler neck with a clean cloth while continuously changing the position and direction of the air pipe's lower end. After blowing and cleaning for 20 minutes, immediately drain the fuel from the tank to allow any suspended impurities to flow out with the fuel.

What is the fuel pressure for gasoline cars?

The fuel pressure for gasoline cars typically ranges between 300 kPa and 350 kPa. It's important to note that the fuel pressure may vary depending on the vehicle model. Generally, a pressure around 300 kPa (equivalent to 0.3 MPa) is considered normal. Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid derived from petroleum through distillation or cracking processes, primarily used as fuel for spark-ignited internal combustion engines. It mainly consists of organic compounds obtained from crude oil distillation and various additives. Automotive gasoline resists knocking and ensures proper combustion. When the air-fuel mixture in a gasoline engine's combustion chamber is ignited by the spark plug, the flame should propagate evenly and stably throughout the entire chamber.

How to Properly Place the Novice Driver Sticker on a Car?

Novice driver stickers should be placed on the rear window of the car. The exact position can be chosen freely by the car owner, but it must be conspicuous to serve as a warning to vehicles behind. The novice driver sticker is a marker used to alert others that a new driver is on the road. The main color of the novice driver sticker is yellow (C0M0Y100K0), with an accent color of orange-red (C0M80Y100K0). During the probationary period, motor vehicle drivers are not allowed to drive buses, commercial passenger vehicles, police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, engineering rescue vehicles, or vehicles carrying explosives, flammable and explosive chemicals, highly toxic or radioactive materials, and other hazardous substances. Additionally, the motor vehicle driven must not tow a trailer.

Why is the car cooling fan not working?

Possible reasons why the car radiator fan is not working: Water temperature issue: Most car radiator fans nowadays operate using electronic temperature control. Therefore, the fan will only start rotating normally when the internal water temperature of the car reaches the required level. If the temperature is too low, the radiator fan will not rotate. Thus, if the car radiator fan is not working, you should check whether the water temperature has reached the required level. Relay malfunction: If the water temperature is appropriate but the car radiator fan still does not work, the issue might lie with the fan's relay. If the relay is faulty, the car's radiator fan will also fail to operate. Thermostat switch problem: If the above two aspects are not the issue, then you should inspect the thermostat switch. Sometimes, the thermostat switch can develop faults, which can also affect the operation of the car radiator fan.

What is the difference between a differential and a differential lock?

Difference between differential and differential lock: 1. Different functions. The differential lock locks the machine 100%, while the differential allows a certain differential response. 2. Different uses. Differential locks are mostly used for off-road climbing, while differentials are mostly used for racing (touring car racing, WRC), but there are also off-road vehicles that use LSD (Dakar), and racing cars that use LOCK (extreme drifting). Here are the detailed information: 1. The function of the differential is to limit the speed difference between the two tires. Regardless of the type of drive, every vehicle must be equipped with a differential so that when the vehicle turns, the left and right tires can automatically adjust their rotation speed to cope with the different lengths of the turning path, allowing the vehicle to turn smoothly. 2. The differential is widely used in civilian vehicles, and its function is simple: to help the left and right wheels perform differential rotation. When turning, the rotation speed of the outer wheel must be greater than that of the inner wheel. The differential will distribute the rotation speed through the planetary gears to ensure that the vehicle can complete the turn smoothly and comfortably. 3. When a car turns, due to the centrifugal force, the outer tire will be pressed down, and the inner tire will be lifted up. Therefore, the friction of the outer tire is greater than that of the inner tire. At this time, the differential will distribute more power to the inner tire.
