Because the quality of flood-damaged cars is very poor. Below are the relevant explanations: Hidden dangers: "Flood-damaged cars" can be repaired to a certain extent, but even after repair, there are serious hidden dangers. The longer the soaking time, the higher the probability of malfunctions. It's like a watch falling into water—even if it's disassembled and dried, the watch will still malfunction and cannot be completely fixed. Hazards: In fact, after being repaired, "flood-damaged cars" are like "time bombs" that can cause problems at any time. For example, the engine may suddenly shut off while driving at high speed, or the airbags may fail to deploy in critical moments or even deploy for no reason. Although such cars are cheap, they pose serious safety hazards during daily driving. Therefore, consumers are advised not to buy "flood-damaged cars" just to save money.

How Many Liters Can Actually Be Filled in a 50-Liter Fuel Tank?

50-liter fuel tank can hold 53 to 55 liters of gasoline. Safety Capacity: Most fuel tanks are marked with a safety capacity, which is generally about 10% less than the actual capacity. This is because, in the design of the fuel tank, considering the thermal expansion and contraction characteristics of fuel, a certain space must be left inside the tank after filling to the rated volume to protect driving safety and prevent excessive internal pressure. Overfilling can damage the carbon canister, while underfilling leaves too much space in the tank, causing fuel to evaporate into vapor and be lost. Precautions: The car fuel gauge is not a strict measuring device; it can only qualitatively indicate rather than quantitatively reflect the amount of fuel in the tank. Moreover, the relationship between the amount of fuel added and the distance traveled cannot be used to judge fuel consumption, as road conditions, speed, traffic congestion, air conditioning usage, vehicle load, fuel leakage, and fuel quality can all directly affect fuel consumption.

What are the reasons for the failure of the BAIC New Energy air conditioning compressor?

Here are the reasons for the failure of the BAIC New Energy air conditioning compressor: 1. Circuit system failure: A circuit system failure can effectively prevent the car air conditioning compressor from working properly. After encountering this issue, the owner can check whether the circuit is unobstructed and inspect the temperature sensor and solenoid valve. The compressor is mainly used to compress and deliver refrigerant. If there is a problem, check for any refrigerant leaks. Without refrigerant to compress or deliver, the compressor naturally will not work. 2. Internal wear: Severe internal wear of the compressor makes it impossible to operate normally. Since the compressor plays a crucial role in the air conditioning system, its primary function is to compress and deliver refrigerant, which means the compressor is in a high-speed rotation state for long periods. This is also one of the reasons why the compressor cannot work properly. 3. Loose control line plug: A loose plug in the air conditioning compressor control line can cause poor contact, resulting in unstable voltage and current supply to the electromagnetic coil. This leads to intermittent engagement and disengagement of the air conditioning compressor's electromagnetic clutch.

What are the methods for removing paint from a car body?

Here is a detailed introduction to the methods for handling paint on a car body: 1. Banana oil: Dip a towel in banana oil and gently wipe the paint spots. It can be used to dilute the paint and is very effective in cleaning paint spots. However, banana oil is toxic, volatile, and somewhat corrosive, which can damage the car paint, so extra caution is required when using it. 2. Alcohol: Paint can be removed by wiping with alcohol (industrial alcohol). Use a soft cotton cloth dipped in alcohol and gently wipe the paint. 3. Tar remover/paint thinner: Tar remover can also dissolve paint. Spray it evenly on the paint spots and wait for a while to allow the paint spots to soften and dissolve.
