The temperature is rising and the weather is gradually getting hotter. Although it has not yet reached a hot level, the crisis of spontaneous car combustion has arrived. Every year when the temperature is relatively high, it is easy for cars to spontaneously ignite. This is a troublesome problem that troubles many car owners. How to prevent spontaneous combustion of cars has become a topic of concern to many car owners. Today I will fundamentally explain to you the causes of spontaneous car combustion and preventive measures, hoping to help you spend the summer safely.

There are many reasons for spontaneous combustion in automobiles. Automobile oil leakage, aging wires and other reasons account for the vast majority of spontaneous combustion accidents. Generally speaking, the following reasons will greatly increase the chance of spontaneous combustion in automobiles: leakage of gasoline pipes and aging wires. ; Engine oil and gearbox oil leakage; electrical modifications; problems with use and maintenance, the engine is too dirty due to improper maintenance; human factors such as smoking and storing lighters. Any of these factors can lead to a car spontaneous combustion accident, so it is recommended that drivers not ignore any small details.

There are usually signs of spontaneous combustion in a car, such as abnormal noises and smells from the car body. At this time, you should immediately turn off the engine and stop the car, cutting off the oil circuit. When looking for the origin of the fire, be careful not to open the hood at will, because air entering the car will easily support combustion. Take the fire extinguisher in your hand before opening it. If a car catches fire while refueling, stop refueling quickly, drive the car out of the gas station, and use a fire extinguisher to extinguish the fuel tank flames.

If a car fire suddenly breaks out on a street where vehicles are passing through, and you don’t have a fire extinguisher with you, don’t panic at this time. Stop the car in time and ask for help from passing vehicles, borrow other people’s car fire extinguishers to put out the fire in time, or ask car friends to join in putting out the fire. In this way, the fire extinguishing efficiency can be greatly improved, the fire extinguishing time can be shortened, and the economic losses caused by the fire can be reduced.
