We often say that the "boil" is the cooling water in the engine water tank reaches the boiling point, that water was burned inside the water.

Engine smoke is the most intuitive expression to boil water tank, the so-called "smoky" actually refers to is water in the water reach the boiling point into the form of evaporation of water vapor out. If you find the car engine can not operate normally, a meal to go forward, often off, this is the so-called car "spit" phenomenon. Check whether the temperature gauge pointer to the red line above, you can also determine whether the engine is in poor heat.

Boil water tank the consequences will be grievous

The direct reason is the poor engine cooling water tank boiling. Such as a small displacement of the car in the summer air-conditioned mountain climbing, increase the engine load; car for a long time without cleaning the dirt inside and outside the tank, affecting water tank cooling water circulation and cooling; fan is damaged or other heat radiating element damage, can not be timely auxiliary cooling water tank and so on, these will lead in the water tank cooling water reach the boiling point. Boil water tank if you can not get timely treatment, the worst result is leading to engine damage and ensuing is the high maintenance costs. And this caused by improper operation of the vehicle is not damaged in the range of ordinary vehicle insurance claims. Serious consequences can only be paid by the owner himself.

An antidote against the disease treatment tank "

When in driving to observe the water temperature meter increased, if the speed is low can choose the nearest stop safety zone, and immediately shut down, open the engine cover to help engine cooling. Generally stay for about half an hour or so the temperature of the engine will return to the normal state, this time can be carefully check the water tank scale and the fan is damaged. If the water tank is short of water, can add purified water or antifreeze after a certain period of time, can not add cold water directly, and must be covered with a wet towel to open the water tank cover to prevent water vapor from scald.

If symptoms of water tank boiling occurs at higher speeds, avoid by all means can not stop immediately after flameout, but should let the car flameout is in idle state for a period of time, also open the hood to help heat dissipation.

Boil water tank can be prevented

Usually pay attention to the internal and external cleaning water tank is also very important. Direct water tank is prone to scale precipitation, need to deal with on a regular basis, with antifreeze in the tank for a long time will precipitate, so regular cleaning is necessary, so as to ensure cooling water in the engine cooling of the normal cycle. High temperature in summer, frequent use of air conditioning will increase the load of the engine. More attention to the observation of water temperature when driving, once the symptoms of water temperature rise, if you do not know how to deal with, in time to stop the natural cooling is the most simple way to deal with.
