Many car owners do not develop good habits when driving, and do not turn off the engine after parking, but let the car remain idle for a long time. Long-term idling will damage the engine of the car, resulting in an increase in carbon deposits, and many car owners have broken the car because of carelessness.
Mr. Shandong Che advocates that Mr. is very busy at work, once he came home from work it was late at night, Mr. Zhang parked the car in the garage, and got out of the car before the lights were turned off. Mr. Zhang went home and fell asleep, not remembering that the car was still idle, and on the morning of the 2nd day, when Mr. Zhang was ready to work, he found that the car had been idle all night.
Usually Mr. Zhang will also maintain the state of idle speed when he stops and waits for others, but the idle time is very short, not more than half an hour, this time the vehicle has been idle all night, what is the level of fuel consumption? Mr. Zhang quickly opened the car door to check the fuel consumption meter, and the fuel consumption in the 10 hours of parking has soared from 9.5 to 52.1.
Mr. Zhang did not turn off the ignition at the first time, but instead took out his mobile phone and took a photo to record this scene forever. After taking the photo, Mr. Zhang also posted it on the Internet, teasing himself that his memory was too poor, and he couldn't do it next time. Many netizens said that Mr. Zhang's heart is too big, the car did not turn off all night, he actually had the mood to take pictures and send a circle of friends, the car is broken do not know.
Fortunately, Mr. Zhang just added fuel a few days ago, and the fuel tank is basically full of oil, so the car can idling all night. If the fuel in the tank before parking is not enough, the car can not idle all night, the vehicle will be forced to stop because there is no fuel, then Mr. Zhang will also find a trailer to drag the car to the gas station to refuel, so it will cost hundreds of dollars more.
Hazards of long-term idling:
First, fuel consumption increases.
The engine is in a long-term idle state, the opening of the throttle will become smaller, and the amount of fuel injected will increase, so the fuel consumption will rise particularly fast during the car idle. Usually, the comprehensive fuel consumption of the car is only 9 liters, and the fuel consumption will rise by at least two to three liters during the idle period, and the longer the idle time, the faster the fuel consumption rises.
Second, carbon deposits have increased.
The amount of fuel injected during the car idling process will increase, but the car is not actually driving, so the carbon deposit of the engine will become very serious. The increase in carbon deposits will cause increased fuel consumption, weakened power and other shortcomings, and some cars will have more and more carbon deposits at the throttle valve all night at idle speed, which needs to be cleaned up at a fixed point.
Third, the service life of the engine is reduced.
The temperature and pressure in the cylinder will be relatively low for long-term idle operation, but the amount of fuel injection will increase, and the sealing of the cylinder will decrease and the service life will be reduced over time.
Fourth, damage to the ternary catalytic converter.
The amount of fuel injected during the idling process of the car increases, and there is a large amount of gas mixture in the engine. During idling, the gas mixture cannot be completely discharged through the exhaust pipe, so the gas mixture that is not fully burned will burn at the ternary catalytic converter position, resulting in damage to the ternary catalytic converter.
Editor's Comments:
There is no problem with the occasional idle speed of the car, and there will be poor heat dissipation, increased fuel consumption and increased carbon deposits for a long time. I hope that all car owners can develop good car habits, be sure to hang up in P gear when parking for a long time, and turn off the power of the car in time after parking to avoid the harm caused by long-term idling.
