Currently auto manufacturers racing to produce a fuel efficient products. However, no matter how good the technology in question if the car driving the wrong way, then the consumption of fuel oil that was futile to continue to occur.
In addition to driving the wrong behavior, the troubled engine components also contribute a large enough car makes wasteful of fuel.
“You could say the irregularities in the components and driving the wrong behaviors each contribute 50 percent of the level of extravagance fuel,” said Alif Sarbini, service advisor Main Motor, Cempaka Putih, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, May 25, 2011.
According to Alif, from which he handled some cases, nearly 90 percent of cars that become wasteful caused by errors in the adjustment of spark plugs, carburetors or injectors, and valve in the engine. Ironically, most car owners ignore these conditions.
“There’s really because they do not understand it and do not realize, is that the stupid,” he said.
In fact, when problems in the three components were allowed to drag on is not only wasteful of fuel makes the car but also makes the machine easily damaged. So like what’s the problem? How do I fix this? Alif following explanation:
1. The head and the axis of the spark plug is too tenuous
When the axis – a curved section on top axis or head spark plug – spark plug with the tip of the head is too tenuous, will make a spark that used to burn fuel and air mixture in the engine too small. As a result the combustion process is not perfect.
Many of the sprayed fuel injector or carburetor supplied is wasted. “In fact, the driver continues to step on the gas pedal, the car will result wasteful of fuel,” said Alif.
To fix this, reset the level of estrangement in accordance with the standards established by the manufacturer. Generally the level of estrangement was 0.8 to 1 millimeter.
Try the appropriate level of estrangement or according to size. Because when too tenuous, the fire produced is quite small so that combustion is not perfect.
“But if too tight, the machine will actually happen burning tingly because premature,” said Alif.
Setting the level of estrangement it is strongly recommended if the car has traveled a distance of 25-30 thousand kilometers.
2. Setting the carburetor or injector problem
Usually after the car was five years old or more carburetor or injectors will have problems. Fuel quality is less good, which often means driving the gas pedal in a repetitive, are some of the causes.
Therefore, although work has been governed by injector devices named Electronic Control Unit (ECU) or computer car, but it’s good to have done reset. “The term injector tune ups, clean and adjust the valve if the car has traveled a distance of at least 90-100 thousand miles,” said Alif.
If you want to know the condition of your car injector can be done by inspection using sophisticated equipment. Several major workshops have provided the equipment.
As for the car that uses a carburetor, make sure that there is fuel in the carburetor tube in accordance with the dosing volume. Resetting the re-valve and needle devices is a prudent step in anticipation for the car not wasteful of fuel.
3. Engine valve position change
Valve in the machine, functions like a door on a gate. So the door has been damaged then flows out can not control.
Therefore, for car owners who have aged five years and over or a new car that proved wasteful of fuel to check these devices.
Reset the position of the valve. The reason is, if too close then the car would be wasteful of fuel, because the valve will open when the driver stepped on the gas pedal deeply. However, conversely if too tenuous a car engine will sound noisy.
