Precautions for the use of oil tank truck in hot summer

The hot summer has arrived. As the weather gets hotter, not only people can't stand it, but tank trucks will inevitably have various problems.

Tank trucks need maintenance just like people, especially in the rainy and hot summer. In addition to changing the engine oil and three filters regularly, what other problems need to be paid attention to? Tank truck manufacturers have summarized the following points, hoping to be useful to all car owners.

★ Anti-explosion tires are required in high temperatures in summer

After being exposed to the sun for a long time, the surface temperature of the ground is very high, and it can even fry eggs. At this time, the car is driving on the road, and the tires are in contact with the ground for a long time, resulting in the tires dissipating heat too slowly. The air pressure in the tires will easily rise. Once the tire pressure is too high, it is easy to accelerate the wear of the tires, and even cause a blowout, which will cause a very serious accident.

Correct treatment method: In summer, the tire pressure should be about 10% lower than the normal tire pressure value; the tire pressure gauge can be used to measure the accurate tire pressure, and it is best to go to the maintenance station for measurement; when parking, the car can also be parked in the coolest place to avoid long-term exposure to the sun, which can also effectively prevent the tire pressure from rising.

In addition, it is also necessary to avoid long-term continuous driving. After driving for one or two hours, you must stop and let it cool down naturally. And when driving at high speed, remember to avoid sudden start, stop, and accelerate suddenly to prevent the tire from causing greater wear. ** Regular tire rotation can also correct the wheel balance and make the tires on the same car wear evenly.

★Prevent "boiling" due to limited heat dissipation

In fact, after entering the summer, the biggest problem of tank trucks is that the engine heat dissipation is limited. The engine generates a lot of heat, and the ambient temperature is high, and the heat cannot be dissipated, which will cause "boiling". Long-term overheating will damage the engine itself, so when the water temperature gauge index is found to be too high during driving, it exceeds the normal value range.

At this time, you should immediately pull over, keep the engine running, turn on the air conditioner and heater, adjust the air volume, and open all the doors or windows. Do not turn off the engine immediately, because the internal parts of the engine are in an expanding state due to overheating. If the engine is turned off at this time, the piston will be stuck in the cylinder and the cylinder will stick, so try to cool it down slowly. In addition, the coolant level should be checked frequently. Too little coolant will also cause "boiling".

★ A bad temper will also cause "gas blockage"

The heat dissipation of the engine is restricted, which will not only cause the "boiling" phenomenon, but also the "gas blockage" phenomenon during driving. Usually, there are two types of "gas blockage". One is the "gas blockage" phenomenon caused by fuel. The oil pipeline vaporizes gasoline due to high temperature to produce steam bubbles, which makes the oil circuit unsmooth, affects the vacuum of the oil pump, and causes insufficient or interrupted oil supply, causing the tanker to stall.

Another situation is the "gas blockage" phenomenon caused by brake fluid. The frequent use of brakes by tank trucks at high speeds, coupled with poor heat dissipation, will easily cause air blockage when the brake fluid reaches the boiling point, causing partial brake failure, with disastrous consequences. Therefore, avoid frequent use of brakes when driving at high speeds, and brake slowly in advance when encountering situations. If you feel that the brakes are not sensitive, you should stop and check immediately. If the temperature is too high, you can cool it down by sprinkling water on the master brake cylinder.

★ Don't put it randomly, be careful of "spontaneous combustion"

In summer, there are not only many tire blowouts, but also many spontaneous combustions. There are many reasons for the spontaneous combustion of cars, including spontaneous combustion caused by high temperature of new energy vehicle batteries, oil leakage and fire caused by aging of the oil circuit, fire caused by aging of the circuit, and flammable and explosive items placed in the car.

Therefore, it is necessary to regularly check whether the oil circuit and circuit of the tank truck are normal, especially in the high temperature environment of summer. ** Do not modify the electrical circuit without authorization, and the fire extinguisher in the car must be replaced regularly. Among them, the most important thing is not to put lighters, high-pressure fragrances, easily meltable items and reading glasses in the car. These items will cause explosions and fires under direct sunlight or high temperatures.

Summary of the tanker truck manufacturer: In this article, I would like to remind everyone that summer is the peak season for car accidents. Every summer in the news, we can see that a seemingly insignificant car problem has turned into a tragedy. Therefore, prevention is the first priority. Check more before driving, drive slowly, pay more attention to the various warning lights on the dashboard, and stop and check in time if there is a problem to ensure driving safety.
