The peak period of auto-ignition, second-hand car provocation causes trouble

Summer is the peak period of spontaneous combustion of automobiles. Since July, the fire station has received an alarm for spontaneous combustion of the car almost every day because of rising temperatures. Most of these cars are self-ignited because of their aging or circuit aging. Therefore, whether it is a new car or a used car, regular vehicle repairs and maintenance must be carried out to eliminate auto-ignition from the source.

Why spontaneous combustion?

According to professional sources, car auto-ignition is generally caused by the damage of oil circuits, circuits and car modification parts. There is no direct relationship between the old and the new. The reason why there are more spontaneous combustion accidents with old cars is that many old car owners do not pay attention to maintenance. In fact, the new car will also happen spontaneous combustion phenomenon, the new car owners will generally be equipped with anti-theft devices, high-end audio replacement, improve the shape, air conditioning may also be added, etc., if these jobs can not be completed if the professional repair shop, will give spontaneous combustion The occurrence of the accident buried a hidden danger.

If the installer has limited technical skills, he or she will inadvertently introduce wires, places where the load is heavy will not be insured, and the frictional parts will not be effectively fixed, and spontaneous combustion will be inevitable.

In addition, the car traveled long distances and was overloaded, causing various parts of the engine to run continuously for a long time, resulting in increased temperature. In addition, the weather was very hot and the engine ventilation equipment was not good, resulting in a short circuit in the power cord and causing spontaneous combustion.

It is worth mentioning that, if improperly placed car cargoes collide with each other, sparks will be generated, which will cause the car to ignite spontaneously.

What are the precursors of spontaneous combustion?

Under normal circumstances, there will be some signs before the auto-ignition, such as the indicator light is not lit, the car smells when driving, emit smoke, etc. In these cases, you should immediately stop at a safe place to check. In particular, if the indicator light is not bright, it is worth noting that generally, everyone will pay more attention to the boiler's pan, smoke, and odor, and it is easy to overlook the fact that the indicator light is off.

In many cases, the indicator light is off due to the short circuit. If these problems can be found in time, it can also control the auto ignition accident.

If spontaneous combustion occurs, it usually takes a long time from the smoke to the open flame. The car will usually explode after the open fire. At this time, the owner must not panic, and the fire extinguisher, water, or clothing cover may destroy the spontaneous combustion.

If there is really no way, we must seek the help of fire fighting and traffic police as soon as possible to protect the site, leaving behind the evidence for subsequent claims, determining the owner’s own rights and responsibilities, and reducing losses.

How to prevent spontaneous combustion?

More maintenance, or to the professional conversion shop modification In addition to the professional conversion shop modification and often do inspections, driving more than 5 years of "old car" and the car has been a major accident, should be regularly clear the line, troubleshooting and other comprehensive inspections. Also, don't put flammable products on the dashboard.

Gas lighters, fresheners, and anti-mosquito agents can easily explode and cause fires when heated. Do not place flammable items such as mousse in the trunk.

A small car fire extinguisher should be provided with the car when driving. In general, about two kilograms of fire extinguishing equipment can play an emergency fire extinguishing role. When drivers drive, they should try not to smoke inside the car. Try to choose a cool place when parking.
