How to clean the water tank of Changzhou automobile

First, make sure your engine is cold. A high-temperature engine means that the water tank is full of extremely high-pressure high-temperature coolant-it may burn you when you open the lid of the water tank. Cold water can also damage high-temperature engines.

Step 2- Clean the water tank

Open and firmly secure the hood to avoid accidental sliding. Then, gently wipe off the dead insects and debris collected on the grille of the water tank with your nylon brush and soapy water. Be sure to scrub along the direction of the radiator of the water tank, not in reverse, because the metal is fragile and easy to bend and deform. After cleaning the grille, introduce a gentle stream of water from the hose above the grille to ensure that all debris has been completely removed.

Although you only flush the water tank every two years, it is a good idea to clean the water tank grille every 65,438+02,000 miles or so.

Step 3- Place the drain pan

It is very important to discharge waste coolant correctly. Coolant is highly toxic, but sweet, which will attract children and animals. Don't leave it unattended and don't leave it on the ground. Make sure not to use the drain pan for any kitchen purpose-disposable drain pan is an ideal choice. The drain pan should also be small enough to fit under your car.

After finding a suitable drain pan, slide it under the car and put it in the center of the water tank drain valve (also known as the drain plug).

Step 4- Check the water tank cover

As the cover of the water tank, the water tank cover seals and pressurizes the coolant in the water tank to keep the engine cool. The coolant pressure varies with the engine, and the pressure grade is marked on the top of the cover itself.
