Older vehicles need to check oil circuit to prevent spontaneous combustion in summer

Technical staff pointed out that, oil is int the front, when spark hit oil, it is easy to fire, gasoline will cause the fire spread rapidly. In addition, for the high temperatures in summer, cars have been exposure for long, likely to cause heat to build up in the front, so that the temperature of circuit, engine and fuel tank significantly increased. If the wires are faulty, it can easily lead to a spark ignition. In addition, gasoline is a greater volatile at high temperatures. Therefore, the summer greatly increased risk of spontaneous combustion. So, oil and circuit inspection for care is essential.

In general, the spontaneous combustion on new car is relatively rare. Older vehicles are more prone to leakage ignition system or gasoline leaks which will cause a fire. Therefore, you should pay more attention to maintenance and inspection on these vehicles.

Avoiding spontaneous combustion, you should also be aware of the following aspects: First, the process of using the vehicle, do not use artificial direct supply; Second, do not put gas lighters, air freshener, mosquito control agents, mousses and so easy to thermal expansion explosive items on the dashboard. In addition, when there are the unusual smell or see smoke, immediately turn off the stop checks.
To keep you car better, you also can pay attention to the car tools like obd code scanners.

Here is the hot one:

The MaxiScan MS609 scan tool is built to help you determine why the Check Engine Light or the ABS warning light is on. The tool offers the same features and functions as the MS509 (i.e. enhanced live sensor data and oxygen sensor readings). It comes with additional benefits like enhanced OBD II Mode 6 and OBD II repair information. The repair information offers meaningful description and probable causes to DTCs.

Maxiscan MS609 Function:

- Diagnose ABS codes on most 1996 and newer major vehicle models, including GM, Ford, Chrysler, Honda, Nissan, Volvo, VW/AUDI, BMW and Mercedes
- Work on all 1996 and later OBD II compliant US, European and Asian vehicles
- Easily determine the cause of the Check Engine Light ( MIL)
- Enhanced OBD II Mode
- OBD II repair information
- Turn off Check Engine Light (MIL), clear codes and reset monitors
- View freeze frame data
- Display monitor and I/M readiness status (emissions)
- Read live PCM datastream
- Display live O2 sensor test data
- Graph data (1996 and newer)
- Read, store & playback live sensor data
- Memory/battery backup for off-vehicle data review and analysis
- Multilingual menu and DTC definitions
- Perform modules present test
- Retrieve vehicle information (VIN, CIN and CVN)
- Support CAN (Controller Area Network)
- Software upgradeable via optional upgrade kit
- Print data via PC
