Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloomed, the sudden heavy snow caused the whole country to begin to cool down sharply, and the temperature in the northern region was running towards minus 20. The low temperature, rain, snow and freezing weather also had a great impact on daily traffic operations and logistics operations: the railway froze, causing the delay of the high-speed rail;Heavy snowfall caused delays in plane flights.
The freight industry is also "guilty", and heavy snow closures will also lead to restrictions on the circulation of commercial vehicles. Such as the following troubles, I don't know how many cardholders have experienced?
The low temperature environment causes the diesel fuel to solidify and wax, and the truck cannot start;
The glass water freezes and makes it impossible to clean the glass, which affects the driving vision in rainy and snowy weather, and brings potential safety hazards
Vehicle parts fail due to low temperatures.
What should I do in winter to be able to run a car and maintain a car?Come and listen to Xingzai's tips, do a good job of safety "raiders", and it will be difficult to make money if you can save it!
01 Warm up the car before setting off.
In winter, it is recommended to warm up the car first, and then set off after the water temperature rises, and the cold car state is easy to cause various problems, such as poor oil fluidity, increased gearbox wear, poor engine combustion, easy to form carbon deposits, DPF pressure increases, carbon load increases rapidly, etc.
02 Choose the right grade of diesel.
In most cases, it is enough to add 0 diesel fuel to commercial vehicles, but if you run in low temperature or cold areas in winter, you need to combine the temperature of the driving area and add diesel pour point depressant in proportion, or add -10 and other grades of diesel, otherwise the vehicle will not be able to start after the diesel wax.
03 Deal with vehicle breakdowns as early as possible.
A commercial vehicle is a large machine, connected by various circuits and pipelines, and the large cooling in winter can easily lead to the failure of various parts of the machine, such as pipeline rupture, short circuit of the line, brittle or broken parts, etc.
Many car owners think that as long as the car can be driven, the fault code of the vehicle can be ignored first. This is wrong, once the vehicle breaks down, it should be repaired in time, and the cause of the failure should be found for targeted maintenance. Otherwise, small problems are easy to drag into annoyance, and even affect the attendance rate of the vehicle, which will outweigh the losses.
04 Proper use of various additive products.
AdBlue for vehicles. The freezing point of the national standard of vehicle urea is -11, when the truck drives to the cold area, the urea is easy to freeze, which is unavoidable, if there is frozen urea liquid, it is necessary to wait for the urea to become clear after thawing before it can be used, it is recommended to put a few barrels in the cab every day for standby.
If the urea solution in the urea tank is frozen, the vehicle reports the fault light, the vehicle will start the heating tube to heat the urea in the urea tank after starting, so that the temperature will rise to more than -4 after thawing, and the fault light will be extinguished after the normal operation of the system.
Diesel pour point depressant.
In order to save costs, many masters will use pour point depressants instead of low-grade diesel, but it should be noted that if you use diesel fuel that has been added with pour point depressants, then continue to add pour point depressants, with little effect.
In addition, diesel pour point depressant needs to be added before the diesel solidifies, and it will not work if added after solidification. The pour point depressant itself will be frozen, and it can be used normally after thawing.
Glass of water. Many drivers like to add tap water directly to the glass jug, but if the liquid in the wiper freezes in winter, it will cause problems such as cracked spray holes and broken pipes. Therefore, it is necessary to add low-temperature glass water with a lower freezing point in winter, on the one hand, glass water has fewer impurities than tap water, and it is not easy to block the spray hole;On the other hand, the low-temperature glass water will not freeze in winter and will not cause damage to the glass water system.
