How can tank trucks save fuel and fuel better?
The fuel consumption of a tank truck is not only related to the displacement of the tank truck itself, but also closely related to the operating habits of the driver. There are nine key periods to grasp.
1. The traffic jam does not turn off for a long time. Generally speaking, if it is blocked for more than 5 minutes, or if the vehicle is blocked in front of the vehicle, the engine should be turned off and waited. Experts have calculated that waiting at idle speed will consume 5g of fuel per minute. Especially stop-and-go, traffic jams that only move a few meters each time, constantly starting and stopping the most fuel.
2. Drive for a long time in low gear. The engine, accelerator pedal and gears are all coordinated in a trinity to output the most economical and best power. The "advanced" or "lagging" gears will form a "drag gear", the speed will not rise, and the oil will be wasted. Therefore, try to avoid low-speed gears when driving. Once conditions permit, use high-speed gears on the road and keep the speed at a medium speed for the most fuel-efficient.
3. Start and brake frequently. In addition to the throttle is the brake, which is the most fuel-intensive. According to experts' determination: the fuel consumption of a tanker truck can travel 3km each time it starts, and the wear on the engine is equivalent to 50km wear; each time the car brakes urgently, the wasted oil can travel 2km, which is equivalent to the wear on the tires. The amount of wear during 80km driving. Therefore, avoid frequent starting, stalling, and braking. Never start the car at will when you can not start it, and get on the road as soon as it is started; a car that is on fire, it is better not to stall when waiting for someone for a short time; the brakes advocate predictive "brake" to avoid emergency braking.
4. The moment of overtaking. Especially when driving in a city, the road is narrow, and the vehicle in front is not allowed to pass, it often happens alternately with heavy fuel and heavy braking. The fuel consumption is more than twice the fuel consumption of normal driving. Therefore, overtaking should choose a wide road section. ,Finished at once.
5. Use the air conditioner for a long time in summer. The use of air-conditioning and refrigeration is a big fuel consumption. At the same driving speed, 2~3L of fuel will be added for every 100km.
6. Oil tanker truck is overloaded and speeding. If the load exceeds the rated load, each additional kilogram of load will increase fuel consumption by 0.01 per kilometer. Therefore, driving in the city should reduce its own weight as much as possible and remove some unnecessary "cumbersome."
7. When the tanker is empty. According to estimates, 35% of my country’s petroleum energy is wasted, of which about 74% is wasted in automobile transportation, and the waste caused by empty driving accounts for more than half. Operating vehicles, especially taxis, are "ineffective labor" and are the "big head" of wasting fuel.
8. The tire pressure is low. In addition to its own power, 80% of the vehicle driving depends on the generated inertia. If the tire pressure is too low and the contact surface with the road is too large, it will increase the resistance and affect the sliding. If the tire pressure is 0.5kg/cm2 lower than the specified value, fuel consumption will increase by 5%. Low tire pressure will also increase directional instability and increase tire wear.
9. The throttle goes up and down. Come on, be "soft". A car does not consume fuel, which is largely in the way of refueling by drivers. Some people like to blast a few oils when there is nothing to do. This habit is the worst. Some experts say that one big throttle on the spot is equivalent to driving 1km. If you want to save fuel, correct fueling is the key. It is necessary to lightly pedal and release, and avoid violently pedaling, so that the engine can work at an instant high speed.
