Daily maintenance methods of automobile water tank;
Generally speaking, antifreeze should be replaced after driving 20,000 kilometers or 1 year; Never add tap water without antifreeze.
Rusting and scaling of engine water tank are the most common problems. Rust and scale will limit the flow of antifreeze in the cooling system, reduce heat dissipation, lead to overheating of the engine and even cause engine damage.
Oxidation of antifreeze will also form acidic substances, which will corrode the metal parts of the water tank, resulting in water tank damage and water leakage. The solution to the water tank problem mainly lies in the routine inspection on weekdays. Always check whether the water tank leaks or corrodes, and clean, replace or add antifreeze on time to raise the boiling point and prolong the service life. Generally speaking, antifreeze should be replaced after driving 20,000 kilometers or 1 year. This can raise the boiling point, prevent scaling and corrosion, improve the heat dissipation effect, make the water pump play a lubricating role, and avoid and eliminate the damage of instantaneous high temperature caused by bubbles to the engine.
Try not to add water when antifreeze is insufficient, especially in summer. Because chlorine contained in tap water will corrode, rust and block the water tank, engine and other systems, the cooling system will not cool well, resulting in excessive engine temperature and vehicle damage.
