The solutions for a fuel tank cap that suddenly won't open are: 1. If the fuel tank cap is stuck or rusted, you can ask the gas station staff for help. They can gently pry or tap it while you press the fuel tank cap switch to open it. 2. Motor damage. The emergency switch for the vehicle's fuel tank cap is located under the cover on the fuel tank cap side of the trunk. Pull the emergency handle with a little force while pressing the fuel tank cap to open it. 3. The fuel tank cap spring has lost its elasticity. The owner can handle this by adding a small spring to the protruding rubber pad of the fuel tank to increase the elasticity between the fuel tank cap and the locking device.

How to distinguish forged wheels from cast wheels?

Here are the methods to distinguish forged wheels from cast wheels: 1. Wheel markings: Forged wheels usually have the word FORGED printed on them, but it cannot be ruled out that some cast wheels may also have the same markings to pass off as forged. The color difference between the rim and spokes of forged wheels is obvious and can be easily noticed; cast wheels are formed in one piece with no color difference. 2. Details on the back of the wheel: Forged wheels are consistent inside and out, with both the front and back being smooth and shiny with good metallic luster, while cast wheels may have a shiny front but a darker back, with obvious mold marks or burrs (although it cannot be ruled out that counterfeiters may now polish the surface).

Can I directly shift to neutral when parking?

You can directly shift to neutral when parking. Here are the details about neutral gear: 1. Regardless of the gear, pressing the clutch will cut off power transmission, which functions similarly to neutral gear, but it is not actually neutral; 2. Neutral gear means disconnecting the power transmission and the driven gears inside the transmission, while pressing the clutch disconnects the power transmission and the driven parts in the clutch. When driving, no matter which gear you are in; 3. If you press the clutch, the vehicle's driving state is almost the same as being in neutral, with no obvious difference, just like when you shift to neutral after stopping the car.

What is the penalty for driving without carrying the vehicle license?

"Not carrying the license" does not equate to "driving without a license." The traffic police department will not detain the person involved but will temporarily impound the vehicle. "Not carrying" is not the same as "not having." If the driver provides the driver's license and there are no other violations during driving, they will be given a warning or fined, and the vehicle will be promptly returned. If the driver provides the driver's license but commits other violations while driving, penalties will be imposed based on the nature of the violations and the failure to carry the license, and the vehicle will be promptly returned.
