The reason for the gasoline smell in the car after refueling is that the gasoline odor drifts into the vehicle during the refueling process. Refueling precautions include: 1. Use automotive gasoline; inappropriate fuel entering the fuel system may damage the fuel system and engine. 2. Do not use gasoline containing methanol or alcohol. 3. Avoid spilling fuel on the paint surface to prevent damage. 4. If the fuel tank door is frozen and cannot be opened, gently push or tap the door to remove ice and open it. 5. Prevent excessive fuel pressure from causing spraying. 6. Insert the fuel nozzle deep into the tank to avoid overflow or spillage, which could lead to fire or explosion. 7. Before opening the fuel filler cap or touching the fuel nozzle, touch the car body to discharge static electricity. Do not re-enter the vehicle during refueling to avoid generating static electricity.

How to Remove Rust Drops on the Car Body?

Methods to remove rust drops on the car body are: 1. Apply medicated oil on a cloth and wipe for about 5 minutes, the stains will disappear immediately; 2. After the car body is bumped, the metal may be exposed, wet a chamois and apply toothpaste; 3. For deep rust, sand it off and then repaint for repair; 4. Polishing treatment. Methods to prevent car rust: 1. Avoid using car covers frequently, as during windy or rainy weather, the inner layer of the cover can repeatedly slap the paint, creating numerous small scratches on the body—more if sand gets inside the cover; 2. Apply toothpaste to prevent rust; 3. Perform glaze sealing on soft car paint surfaces.

Is a Bulging Tire on a New Car Covered by 4S Warranty?

4S stores do not cover bulging tires on new cars if the damage is not due to quality issues. Tire bulging is a relatively common phenomenon, and the hazards of a bulging tire are significant. If a bulging tire is not replaced promptly, it may lead to serious dangers while driving. During the use of a car, most bulging cases occur because the tire has suffered a significant impact. This could happen when the car passes over a speed bump or drives on poorly maintained roads without slowing down, causing the tire to bulge due to the impact.

What are the main causes of excessive oil consumption?

The main causes of excessive oil consumption are: 1. Piston ring wear or damage, misaligned or incorrectly installed piston rings. When piston rings wear out, their elasticity weakens, reducing the compression force on the cylinder wall and diminishing oil scraping effectiveness. Additionally, wear between piston rings and ring grooves increases side and back clearances, allowing more oil to escape; 2. Excessive clearance between pistons and cylinder walls; 3. Severe wear of intake valve guides. During the intake stroke, under the vacuum effect in the intake manifold, lubricating oil enters the cylinder in large quantities through the clearance between the valve stem and guide hole and gets burned; 4. Excessive oil level; 5. The viscosity of the added oil is too low; 6. The engine speed is too high.

How Long Can a New Car Battery Last?

The normal service life of a car battery varies from 1 to 8 years, largely depending on the condition of the vehicle. If the vehicle's alternator charges properly and there are no electrical leaks or grounding issues, the battery can generally last more than 3 years. Battery maintenance methods include: 1. Avoid parking the car in open parking lots for extended periods; 2. In winter, when the car engine is difficult to start, each attempt should not exceed 5 seconds, with a minimum interval of 15 seconds between attempts; 3. The car battery should be charged regularly. If left unused for a long time, it will gradually self-discharge and eventually become unusable, so the car should be started periodically to recharge the battery; 4. Clean the battery terminals regularly and apply special grease to protect the wiring harness.

Is it harmful if a lithium battery gets wet in the rain?

Lithium batteries are prone to short circuits when exposed to water. Here is some relevant information about batteries: 1. Working Principle: A battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of cell that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, the term 'battery' refers to lead-acid batteries, which are mainly made of lead and its oxides, with sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. 2. Maintenance Methods: Avoid storing the battery in a discharged state. A discharged state means the battery was not recharged promptly after use, which can lead to sulfation. Lead sulfate crystals may form on the plates, blocking ion channels and resulting in insufficient charging and reduced battery capacity. The longer the battery remains idle in a discharged state, the more severe the damage. When the battery is not in use, it should be charged once a month to extend its lifespan.
