The stainless steel water tank plays an important role in the cooling and heat dissipation of the car. In the summer of continuous high temperature in Shanghai, insufficient water level, corrosion of the water tank, water leakage, etc. will directly cause “boiling”, that is, the temperature of the water tank reaches the boiling point.
Fault on-site judgment: When the car is driving, white water vapor suddenly emerges from the engine cover, or the pointer of the water temperature gauge rises to the high temperature “H” mark position, which means that the engine temperature is too high. It is usually caused by insufficient water in the water tank, water leakage, or the failure of the fan in the water tank. Immediate processing step 1: Find a safe place to park immediately, but don’t turn off the fire immediately. The stainless steel water tank allows the engine to maintain idling speed and continue to dissipate heat while opening the engine cover to high heat dissipation speed. Note: When the water temperature is too high or even boiling:
1. Don’t try to continue driving, so as to avoid major machine damage accidents.
2. Don’t try to open the water tank cover, otherwise, it is very likely that hot liquid will spray out and cause burns.
3. Do not pour cold water on the engine block and cylinder head, it is likely to cause the cylinder block to burst due to sudden cooling.
Step 2: After a period of time, check for water leaks under the car. Step 3: After the pointer of the water temperature gauge drops to the proper temperature, turn off the engine.
Stainless steel water tank step 4: wrap the stainless steel water tank cover with a wet towel, slowly turn on the first switch (about 1/4 turn), after the water vapor pressure is released, fully open the water tank cover to check the water volume and quality in the water tank, And whether the fan belt is abnormal. If the amount of water is insufficient, you should slowly add water to the vicinity of the highest marking line.
Note: If the water tank is leaking or the fan belt is loose or broken, you can call the towing company and wait for the trailer to be rescued. If necessary, you can also wait for the engine to completely cool down and then drive the car to a service shop for repairs at a low speed. Keep in mind that the stainless steel water tank cannot drive at normal speed, otherwise, it may cause permanent damage to the engine.
