Accidentally adding expired fuel additive will not achieve the effect of cleaning carbon deposits, but it will not have adverse effects on the car. The functions of fuel additive are as follows: 1. Clean Carbon Deposits: High-quality gasoline additives contain purifying factors that can clean harmful substances such as gum deposits in fuel and engine carbon deposits. Continuous use can help remove carbon deposits in the fuel system, including the fuel injector, intake valve, and intake manifold, restoring the vehicle's original power and maintaining optimal performance over the long term. 2. Improve Atomization: Gasoline additives utilize nano-molecular materials to directly attack the long-chain carbon bonds in fuel molecules, creating "micro-explosions" in the combustion chamber. This results in secondary atomization of gasoline, promoting complete combustion, improving thermal efficiency, and reducing fuel consumption. Comparative tests on actual vehicles show that gasoline additives can save 3~15% of fuel. The effect is particularly noticeable during long-distance high-speed driving, making it more economical than usual. 3. Protect the Engine: High-quality gasoline additives consist of organic nano-molecules, cleaning activation factors, and more than 10 other materials, including antioxidants, anti-corrosion agents, and demulsifiers. They are specifically designed to target harmful components in fuel, such as sulfur and gum deposits, as well as engine carbon deposits. Gasoline additives also have functions such as oxidation resistance, cleaning, dispersion, demulsification, anti-corrosion, and lubrication.

Is the battery DC or AC?

The battery is DC. Here is the extended content: 1. DC has positive and negative poles, which should not be confused during use. 2. Different DC currents have the same direction. The waveform is usually a sine curve. 3. DC is also called constant current, which is a type of DC where both the magnitude and direction remain unchanged. It was discovered by Edison. 4. DC can be obtained from batteries or by rectifying AC, making it more suitable for places where AC is inconvenient to use. 5. Devices in cars can only operate on DC. Some components, such as transistors and most integrated chips, are powered by DC.

What are the reasons for the Baojun e100's air conditioning not cooling?

Baojun e100's air conditioning not cooling is due to refrigerant leakage at the pipe connections; leaks in the connecting pipes; incorrect wiring; blown fuse; compressor failure; damaged starting capacitor. Introduction to car air conditioning: Car air conditioning consists of a compressor, condenser, throttle element, evaporator, fan, and necessary control components. It is an air conditioning system used to regulate the temperature and humidity inside the vehicle, providing a comfortable environment for passengers. Refrigerant working process: The refrigerant continuously circulates in the system, with each cycle including four processes: compression process, condensation process, throttling process, and evaporation process.

What does the Audi fault TPMS repair mean?

Audi fault TPMS repair means that the tire pressure in one of the four wheels may be too low or too high. Introduction to TPMS: TPMS refers to the Tire Pressure Monitoring System in vehicles. It uses highly sensitive wireless sensors fixed inside the car tires to collect data such as tire pressure while driving or stationary, and feeds this information back to the system to alert the owner to check the tire pressure. Function of tire pressure monitoring: It monitors the pressure status inside the tires in real-time. When the temperature is high, rolling resistance increases, or friction with the ground intensifies, the pressure inside the tires can be higher than usual.

Where is the wiper fuse located?

Car wiper fuses are located inside the fuse box in the engine compartment. Here is extended content about why fuses are prone to damage: 1. Excessive resistance causing current overload: Using inappropriate wipers or having rusted wiper linkage can increase wiper resistance, leading to excessive current that burns out the fuse. Applying grease to rusted parts or replacing with suitable wipers can help. 2. Using incorrect wipers or having corroded wiper connections will increase resistance, resulting in excessive current that blows the fuse. In such cases, you should visit a 4S shop for inspection as short circuits can be dangerous.

Can the battery be charged when the car is idling?

Yes, the battery can be charged when the car is idling. In fact, even though the engine speed is low during idling, it still drives the alternator, which outputs a stable DC voltage. Therefore, the car battery is still being charged during idling, but the charging power is relatively small, so the charging speed will be slower compared to when driving at high speeds. A battery is a device that directly converts chemical energy into electrical energy. It is designed to be rechargeable, achieving recharging through reversible chemical reactions. Typically, this refers to lead-acid batteries, which are a type of battery and belong to the category of secondary batteries.
