Here are the solutions for filling up with the wrong fuel: High-grade car filled with low-grade fuel: If a high-grade gasoline car is filled with low-grade gasoline, it is recommended that the owner drain the wrong fuel or purchase related fuel additives to improve fuel quality and reduce the damage of low-grade fuel to the engine. Low-grade car filled with high-grade fuel: If a low-grade gasoline car is filled with high-grade gasoline, there is no problem, just remember not to make the same mistake next time when refueling. Diesel and gasoline mixed: If a gasoline car is filled with diesel or a diesel car is filled with gasoline, contact a car repair shop as soon as possible to clean the fuel tank and fuel system, and conduct a comprehensive inspection of the engine.

If you fill up with the wrong fuel, such as putting diesel in a gasoline car or vice versa, my strongest advice is to immediately avoid starting the engine. Starting the engine will allow the wrong fuel to enter the engine system, causing irreversible damage. I once personally experienced a situation where a friend accidentally filled his gasoline car with diesel. Fortunately, he didn't start the engine and directly called a tow truck to take it to a professional repair shop. Cleaning the fuel tank, fuel lines, and injectors cost over 2,000 yuan to fix; if the engine had been started, the repair costs could have reached tens of thousands or even resulted in engine failure. For prevention, always check the fuel pump label carefully before refueling to confirm whether it's gasoline or diesel. The color coding at gas stations (green for gasoline, black for diesel) is also helpful. Remember, stay calm, contact a tow truck or repair service promptly, and don't attempt to fix it yourself. Safety first—avoid driving and causing accidents.

What Does Drive Type Mean?

Drive type refers to the power source method that drives crude oil to the bottom of the well. The so-called automobile drive type refers to the arrangement of the engine and the form of the number and position of the drive wheels. There are three types of drive types: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, and four-wheel drive. Here is a detailed introduction about drive types: Front-wheel drive (FWD): Front-wheel drive, also known as front-engine front-wheel drive, refers to the power distribution method in automobile design where the engine only drives a pair of front wheels. Most sedans adopt the front-wheel drive configuration. Rear-wheel drive (RWD): Rear-wheel drive vehicles refer to the drive form where the engine's power is transmitted to the rear wheels through the drive shaft, thereby pushing the vehicle forward. Rear-wheel drive is a relatively traditional drive form, and the earliest cars were generally rear-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive (4WD): Four-wheel drive refers to the form where the vehicle maintains four-wheel drive throughout the entire driving process. The engine's output torque is distributed to the front and rear wheels in a fixed proportion. This drive mode can provide good off-road and handling performance at any time, but it cannot adjust the torque distribution according to road conditions, and it has higher fuel consumption.

What lights should motor vehicles turn on when passing through pedestrian crossings at night?

When motor vehicles pass through pedestrian crossings at night, they should slow down at a distance of 100 meters from the crossing and alternately use high and low beams to signal. According to Article 58 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," when motor vehicles drive at night under conditions of no streetlights, poor illumination, or low visibility such as fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail, they should turn on headlights, clearance lights, and tail lights. However, high beams should not be used when a following vehicle is driving close to the vehicle in front in the same direction. Motor vehicles driving in foggy conditions should turn on fog lights and hazard warning flashers. Article 59 states that when motor vehicles pass through sharp curves, slopes, arched bridges, pedestrian crossings, or intersections without traffic signal control at night, they should alternately use high and low beams to signal. When motor vehicles approach sections that affect safe sight distance, such as sharp curves or the tops of slopes, or when overtaking or encountering emergencies, they should slow down and sound the horn to signal. Article 61 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates that pedestrians should walk on sidewalks, and if there are no sidewalks, they should walk on the side of the road. Article 62 states that pedestrians should use pedestrian crossings or overpass facilities when crossing intersections or roads; when crossing at signalized pedestrian crossings, they should follow the traffic signals; when crossing at intersections without traffic signals or pedestrian crossings, or when crossing roads without overpass facilities, they should ensure safety before proceeding.

Where to Handle Changes in Driver Information?

To update personal information on a driver's license, you need to file a record at the Vehicle Management Office. Below are the required materials: Bring your ID card, household registration certificate issued by the local police station, driver's license, and two passport photos. Go to the Vehicle Management Office where the driver's license was originally issued, obtain the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form," and submit it along with the other documents to process the driver's license information change. Driving School Registration Time: When applying for a motor vehicle driver's license at a driving school, the registration process takes about half an hour to complete.
