Here are some solutions for when the fuel gauge doesn't move after refueling: 1. Method One: It could be due to the fuel float getting stuck or aging and damaged, causing it to take in fuel. As a result, the fuel float cannot float on the gasoline, either suspending in the fuel or sinking to the bottom, leading to inaccurate measurements or no response. The solution is to remove and inspect the fuel pump. 2. Method Two: Altering the gear size. Modifications can be made to the fuel nozzle or fuel meter, where a smaller gear reduces the amount per rotation, thus decreasing the actual fuel quantity. This is because the fuel meter's transmission gear displays the refueling amount on the screen with each rotation. 3. Method Three: False display on the screen. Using a program-controlled display, the numbers may show sufficient fuel when it's not, or using a specialized remote-controlled fuel dispenser display.

What is the fuel consumption for one hour of idling in place?

Idling in place for one hour consumes approximately 0.6 liters of fuel. Below is an introduction to idling: Introduction: Idling is an operating condition of a car, referring to the engine running in neutral gear. Diagnosis of unstable idling: Uneven fuel injection from the injectors or poor atomization can cause an imbalance in the power output of each cylinder. If the oil pressure is too low, the fuel sprayed from the injector may have poor atomization or form a line, and in severe cases, only droplets may be sprayed, reducing the fuel injection and making the mixture too lean. If the oil pressure is too high, the actual fuel injection increases, making the mixture too rich. Faults in sensors or wiring can lead to incorrect commands from the control unit, resulting in improper fuel injection, causing the mixture to be too rich or too lean, which are indirect causes of unstable idling.

What are the dimensions of a double-axle vehicle?

The specific dimensions of double-axle vehicles vary depending on the model. Here is an introduction about double-axle vehicles: Introduction: Rear eight-wheeler: Also known as a rear eight-wheeler dump truck or double-axle vehicle. It refers to a vehicle that unloads cargo by hydraulic or mechanical lifting. Also known as a tipper truck. It consists of components such as the vehicle chassis, hydraulic lifting mechanism, cargo compartment, and power take-off device. Working principle: The engine, chassis, and cab structure of a dump truck are the same as those of a general cargo truck. The cargo compartment of a dump truck can tilt backward or sideways, controlled by a piston rod movement system. Backward tilting is more common, where the piston rod pushes to tilt the compartment, while a few models allow bidirectional tilting. High-pressure oil enters the lifting hydraulic cylinder through the distribution valve and oil pipe, with the front end of the compartment featuring a 58 Automobile cab safety guard plate.

What is the reason for the ABS light and the skid light coming on simultaneously?

When the ABS and skid lights of a car come on simultaneously, it indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's anti-skid system. Relevant explanations are as follows: 1. When the ABS malfunctions: It is advisable not to continue driving. Alternatively, rely on the conventional braking system to proceed to an auto repair shop as soon as possible. During the journey, drive cautiously, slowly, and steadily, avoiding aggressive driving. A malfunction in the anti-lock braking system can also affect the ESP anti-skid system. A fault in the anti-skid system may cause the vehicle to skid during emergency braking or sharp turns, which is extremely dangerous. 2. Solution: If the car's anti-skid system is malfunctioning, it is necessary to promptly visit the car's 4S store or a repair shop to inspect and repair the anti-skid system. This will resolve the issue of the ABS and skid lights coming on simultaneously.

Is it illegal if the letters on the back of the car fall off?

It is not illegal if the letters on the back of the car fall off, as long as the car logo remains untouched. Below is relevant information about vehicle inspection: 1. Regulations: New cars do not require on-site inspection within the first 6 years, and you can directly obtain the inspection compliance mark. However, after 6 years (including 6 years), an annual inspection is required, and the car must be driven to the inspection site. 2. Notes: For non-commercial passenger cars and other small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding vans and vehicles with 7 or more seats) registered within 6 years, a biennial periodic inspection is required. The vehicle owner can directly apply to the traffic management department of the public security authority for the inspection mark by providing proof of compulsory traffic accident liability insurance and tax payment or exemption proof for vehicle and vessel tax, without the need for a safety technical inspection at an inspection institution. Before applying, the vehicle owner must resolve all traffic violations and accidents related to the vehicle.

What is the first-cut oil?

First-cut oil refers to the oil produced by the crude oil vacuum distillation tower. The introduction of first-cut oil is as follows: 1. Introduction to first-cut oil: It is mainly divided into first-cut to fourth-cut according to different boiling points, with the boiling point increasing progressively. Among them, first-cut oil is the basic raw material for producing lubricating oil, and the first-cut oil is of better quality and can also be used for blending diesel. Compared with ordinary base oil, first-cut oil is a non-standard oil. Through processes such as solvent deasphalting, solvent dewaxing, solvent refining, hydrofining or acid-base refining, and clay refining, substances that form free carbon, low viscosity index substances, substances with poor oxidation stability, paraffin, and chemical substances that affect the color of finished oil are removed or reduced to obtain qualified lubricating base oil. 2. The main indicators of first-cut oil: density, freezing point, color, viscosity, flash point, etc.
