1 Answers
Reasons for vehicle spontaneous combustion: 1. Issues with the car's fuel system leading to oil or fluid leakage. 2. Aging or improperly connected wiring causing short circuits or sparks. 3. Combustion of flammable materials due to high temperatures. 4. Fires caused by vehicle collisions or mechanical failures. 5. Excessive accumulation of engine sludge, which, combined with high summer and engine temperatures, leads to spontaneous combustion of the sludge. Warning signs of vehicle spontaneous combustion: 1. Excessive engine carbon buildup; 2. Sudden difficulty starting the car or significantly increased shaking while driving; 3. Unexplained sudden increase in fuel consumption; 4. General precursors to car fires, such as black smoke or a burning smell.
