Terrible! This car smells of gasoline. What's going on here?

Generally speaking, we say that the car will be cleaned and there will be no odor. But what if the smell is gasoline? That must be a terrible thing.

Experts from 5 1.com have witnessed a relatively new BMW car spontaneously ignite at high speed, leaving only the shell burned. The owner can only get out of the car and take pictures silently. ...

There are many reasons for automobile spontaneous combustion, and the strong smell of gasoline is also one of the reasons that easily lead to automobile spontaneous combustion.

You can smell gasoline when you are sitting in the car. You should have been jumped! Where does the smell of gasoline come from? What should we do when we smell gasoline?

Let's talk about coping methods first:

1. At this time, the driver should keep a cool head and park his car on the side of the road first.

2. Prepare a fire extinguisher to prevent the car from spontaneous combustion;

3. Get off the bus in a safe situation to find the source of gasoline smell.

Distinguish by smell:

If you only smell pure gasoline, it is unlikely to catch fire;

But if the smell is mixed with pungent rubber smell, there may be signs of fire.

Situation 1, aging of rubber pipe of carbon tank

The rubber parts in the engine compartment of some older cars or cars that have run for several kilometers are prone to aging. Because the carbon canister is connected to the throttle with a rubber tube, it may leak if it ages.

The gasoline vapor that should have entered the intake manifold along the pipeline leaked to the engine compartment, and the gasoline smell entered the car through the air conditioning system.

Coping methods:

Replace related aging hoses in time.

Case 2: There is a leak in the gasoline pipeline.

If the gasoline pipe leaks, the smell of gasoline will enter the car with the air conditioning system.

The leakage is usually at the pipeline interface, which can be seen when the engine compartment cover is opened. If there is leakage at the interface, after a period of time, the surface will absorb dust and form sludge; The owner can also touch the pipe interface to check for leaks.

Coping methods:

Strengthen the gasoline pipe and repair the interface.

Situation 3: Overfilling.

Some car owners like to let the oil gun jump a few times before they are satisfied. In fact, if the engine oil is too full, it is easy to cause gasoline to enter the carbon canister along the pipeline. After the carbon canister invades gasoline, it will release excess gasoline vapor from the vent, and the car will smell of gasoline.

Coping methods:

Adjust the air conditioner to the internal circulation state. After driving for a certain mileage, gasoline will be naturally consumed, and the excess gasoline vapor in the carbon canister will enter the cylinder for combustion under the negative pressure of the engine, so that no gasoline vapor will overflow from the carbon canister.

Case 4: Residue during disassembly and assembly of the built-in fuel filter

Removing the built-in fuel filter needs to be done in the car. It is inevitable that there will be some residue during disassembly. If it is not cleaned, the car will smell of gasoline.

This situation will generally dissipate with the passage of time.
