Buick Envision's fuel tank cap may not open due to excessive fuel tank pressure. The correct way to open the car fuel tank cap: On the lower left side of the driver's seat, within reach of the left hand, there are usually two toggle buttons. First, open the trunk. Above is the side of the car, open the trunk, one of which is to open the fuel tank cap, which is the refueling symbol. The car's fuel tank cap is behind the rear door, some on the left, some on the right. After pressing the fuel tank cap button, the fuel tank cap will open. Introduction to the fuel tank cap: The fuel tank cap refers to the box on the car used to store gasoline. It is square in shape, made of stainless steel, and has excellent sealing. There is only a small circular opening, about the size of a bottle cap, for easy storage. It is generally located at the rear of the car.

I recently encountered a stuck fuel cap that wouldn't open while driving my Envision, which is quite common. The cause could be internal rusting or dust jamming in the locking mechanism, especially in vehicles that have been driven for many years and are prone to such mechanical issues. The fuel cap design includes a spring lock, and sometimes temperature changes can cause it to deform, preventing it from popping open. It's best not to force it open to avoid damaging the components. First, try locking and unlocking the vehicle several times to refresh the signal. If that doesn't work, gently lubricate the edges with a cloth dipped in oil. If you still can't fix it, take it to a professional repair shop where they can easily disassemble and inspect it with tools. Regular cleaning and lubrication can help prevent this problem.

What is the maintenance mileage interval?

Generally, the maintenance mileage for domestic cars is 7,000 kilometers for minor maintenance, which mainly includes changing the engine oil, inspecting the steering system, lights, brake fluid, and cleaning the three filters. Around 14,000 kilometers, a major maintenance is required. Below are additional details: The main maintenance tasks include changing the engine oil, inspecting the steering system, replacing brake pads, and changing the three filters. Of course, different cars have different maintenance mileage requirements; some require maintenance at intervals shorter than 7,000 kilometers, while others may exceed 7,000 kilometers. Detailed information can be found in the car's manual.

Where is the car intake manifold located?

Car intake manifold is located in the engine compartment, which can be seen after opening the engine hood, and it is connected to the intake tract. The intake manifold delivers air to different cylinders separately, and it is generally made of plastic. Using a plastic intake manifold can reduce the weight of the engine. Some high-performance cars even use carbon fiber intake manifolds. The intake manifold must distribute the air-fuel mixture or clean air as evenly as possible to each cylinder. For this purpose, the length of the gas flow channels inside the intake manifold should be as equal as possible. To reduce gas flow resistance and improve intake capacity, the inner wall of the intake manifold should be smooth.

Will adding too much car coolant affect the vehicle?

Adding too much car coolant will not affect the vehicle, as it has an overflow valve that allows excess coolant to drain out. Coolant, also known as antifreeze coolant, is designed to prevent freezing during cold seasons, protecting the radiator from cracking and the engine cylinder block from freezing damage. Car coolant is not just for winter use; it should be used year-round. In standard vehicle maintenance, engine coolant should be replaced every year. Coolant consists of water, antifreeze, and additives, and can be categorized into types such as alcohol-based, glycerol-based, and ethylene glycol-based, depending on the antifreeze component.

What is the Principle of Hydrogen-Powered Vehicles?

Hydrogen-powered vehicle principle: Hydrogen fuel cells generate electricity by combining liquid hydrogen with oxygen from the air. Based on this principle, hydrogen fuel cells can produce electricity to power vehicles. Hydrogen-powered vehicles use hydrogen as their primary energy source for propulsion. Traditional internal combustion engines typically run on diesel or gasoline, whereas hydrogen vehicles utilize gaseous hydrogen. Fuel cells and electric motors replace conventional engines, forming what is known as a hydrogen fuel cell system. Hydrogen is a fuel that can replace petroleum, and its combustion byproducts are water and small amounts of nitrogen oxides, resulting in minimal air pollution. Hydrogen can be mass-produced through water electrolysis or coal gasification, and it requires no major modifications to vehicle engines. Thus, hydrogen-powered vehicles hold vast potential for future development.

Why Do Engine Screws Rust?

Engine screws rust due to prolonged exposure to oxygen. Introduction to Engines: An engine is a machine that converts other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (such as Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, and electric motors. For example, internal combustion engines typically convert chemical energy into mechanical energy. Engines can refer to both power-generating devices and the entire machine including the power unit (e.g., gasoline engines, aircraft engines). History of Engines: The engine was first developed in the UK, so the concept of an engine originates from English, with its original meaning referring to "a mechanical device that generates power."
