6 ways to identify a motorbike that "eats" gas
(Baonghean.vn) - Sometimes the reasons why your car "eats" a lot of gas are very simple, you can check it yourself to handle it promptly, saving a significant amount of money.
1. Difficult start
 |
The most easily recognizable sign when the car consumes a lot of gas is that it is difficult to start each time it is started. Due to the condition of insufficient gas supply, it often causes difficulty in starting; At the same time, when driving on the road, the driver always feels that the car is "out of breath" and does not run as well as usual.
When accelerating or decelerating, there is a “gurgling” sound that makes the car weak. This is also a sign that the car is suffering from “gas guzzling disease”.
2.Exhaust smoke
 |
When the vehicle consumes too much fuel, the exhaust pipe emits black smoke due to excess fuel in the combustion chamber. This causes waste and serious environmental air pollution.
If white smoke comes out of the exhaust pipe, it means the engine has a leaky piston, which is also the main cause of the car consuming a lot of gas.
For a motorbike operating normally, the naked eye will not be able to see smoke from the exhaust pipe.
3.Observe the spark plug
 |
Another way to know is to observe the condition of the spark plug head. If you remove the spark plug and see that the spark plug head is burnt black, it means that the car is wasting gas. Because normally, the faster the car runs, the redder the porcelain and spark plug pins become, but if the car consumes gas due to excess gas, the spark plug will still be black no matter how fast it runs.
4.Check carburetor temperature
 |
A carburetor that feels cold and has or doesn't have condensation is a fuel-consuming vehicle.
Have you ever wondered why the carburetor is cold to the touch and sweats (fogging)? The principle of thermodynamics: evaporating liquid absorbs heat. The carburetor has excess gasoline, the evaporating gasoline absorbs the heat of the tank shell and cools down the cold carburetor shell, even condensing if the humidity is high. Cold carburetor => the car consumes a lot of gasoline.
5.Check the air filter
 |
This part is usually mounted in front of the carburetor of each vehicle, right behind the fender. Its task is to prevent dirty air from entering the carburetor and the motorbike engine. The reason why motorbikes consume a lot of gas is partly due to the air filter not being cleaned and replaced for a long time.
According to the manufacturer's recommendation, the vehicle's air filter should be changed every 1,000 km of the vehicle to ensure overall performance.
6.Compare km/liter of gasoline consumption
 |
This is the simplest and fastest way that everyone can apply. If you are a person who goes to work at a fixed time and travels the same distance every day, it will be easy to recognize the situation of the car consuming fuel. For example, when you first bought a car, you filled it with 1 liter of gas and it ran for 3 days, but now you fill it with 1 liter of gas but it only runs for 1 or 2 days...
To be more precise, you can save the odometer reading to see how far 1 liter of gasoline can go (note to fill up by the liter because the price of gasoline may have increased, so when filling up at the same price, the amount of gasoline will be less than before).
