Because at the end of the year, Brother Meow helped several friends to mention several cars, Brother Meow has encountered the same problem, that is, the car is in the 4S shop, just after buying it, it will drive out, because the oil inside it is particularly small, a moment without oil The oil lamp will be on, so some novice drivers ask Brother Meow a question: Isn't there a spare oil?
I used to hear the old driver say that the car has spare oil, no oil can not run, and then turn the switch on and twist it, it can activate the backup oil. So this question reminds Meow Brother of some time ago, my friend's car ran out of oil, asked me to see what the problem is, because she still thinks there is spare oil, and then she is also silly to ask Brother Meow, won't you say that there is spare oil?
In response to this matter, Brother Meow feels the need to talk to everyone about the problem of spare oil, the legend of spare oil, in fact, the earliest comes from the secondary fuel tank on the fighter, in order to increase the mileage of the fighter, so under the wings of the fighter, there is a secondary fuel tank on each side.
Although the car requirements are not as high as the plane, but the early gas station layout is very imperfect, coupled with the road conditions are also very bad, Meow Brother remembers in the early 90s, like our village at that time because of coal mining, so there are a lot of Dongfeng brand goods, running may really run out of oil, so some cars really have spare oil, this spare oil is the backup oil of the Eight Classics.
It is next to the main fuel tank, but also connected to a diesel fuel tank, usually their auxiliary fuel tank, basically not how to open, is a pipe, there is a valve connected to the main fuel tank, indeed ran to no oil, this time to open the auxiliary fuel tank, enable the oil inside the auxiliary fuel tank, but now we refueling conditions are getting better and better, basically as long as it is not in a particularly remote area, within 50 kilometers, it is absolutely possible to find a gas station.
So go to get such a secondary fuel tank, in most cases, the meaning is not big, and long-term back to a secondary fuel tank to run, the weight of the car itself will also increase, for large trucks, may be acceptable, but for our family car, it is very obvious, you want to carry a 50 pounds of fuel tank running for a long time, its fuel consumption energy economy?
And as far as our ordinary family car is concerned, now the general fuel tank is about 40 liters, and even the SUV reaches more than 80 liters, basically the endurance can reach more than 500 kilometers, in most cases, the use of the end of the fuel, or can find a gas station, if it is really used without oil, make a phone call for a rescue, it is not too difficult to do things. So designing a secondary fuel tank as a backup oil, it really doesn't make sense at all, unless you have to go to those no-man's land to play off-road, that is, to bring an oil drum, bring some spare oil, other cases really can't use it.
So is the car really no spare oil, now our ordinary family car, such as the old flower crown of the meow brother, everyone sees its fuel tank, because it is about to run out of fuel, according to the experience of the meow brother, when the fuel tank level of your car is lower than its warning value, this time the fuel gauge light on the car, it will light up a yellow indicator. You can see that this is the indicator light, and when it comes on, it is actually activating the spare oil on our car.
Our usual family cars, including many trucks now are the same, Zheng'er Bajing has no spare oil in the strict sense, the backup oil is actually, there is a small part of the oil at the bottom of the fuel tank, that is, we are currently most of the cars. When using spare oil, it is no longer necessary to use a valve like an old-fashioned large truck, unscrew the valve, and after unscrewing, the spare oil flows into the fuel tank.
At this time, it is not necessary to use the spare oil, so everyone must be in this piece, don't be misled by the old concept, think that your car is a desert ark, think that the camel in addition to a stomach, there are two stomachs and a water bladder, it is not like this. When the fuel meter light is on, we should pay attention to it and refuel as soon as possible, but when the oil meter light is lit, it does not mean that there is no oil after running for three or five kilometers, it is not like this.
According to the experience of brother meow, including his own measured data, in general, that is, about 40 liters, to about 50 tons of fuel tanks, just like our family car basically, most of the fuel gauge lights are on, you can also run to 30 to 40 kilometers, if it is an SUV, its fuel tank is larger, the warning value of the fuel gauge lamp will be higher, so when the lights are on, you can run to 40 to 50 kilometers, of course, it is also related to the road conditions.
If you still drag a lot of things, but also all the way uphill, it must only be able to run 20 kilometers, if on the high speed, 80 kilometers per hour cycle, it can run to 60 kilometers 70 kilometers are possible, so basically conservative estimates, when the fuel meter lights are on, how can you run to more than 30 kilometers, to 40 kilometers this range, basically enough to go to the gas station to refuel.
The above is about the backup oil, and when the fuel gauge light is on, how far can we run, meow brother to solve the doubts for everyone, especially when we novices just pick up the car, don't be misled anymore, think that there is spare oil, anyway, there is no running, I turned on the switch to open the backup oil came, naturally I can find the gas station, so that you yourself anchor on the road, but also have to call the rescue is very embarrassing.
