carIt plays an important and irreplaceable role in our lives. It is also because of the car ownership. As the life circle expands, the quality of life has undergone tremendous changes. As our partners, the car also needs to be carefully taken care of, otherwise once the strike, it will cause a lot of trouble. Although the spontaneous combustion of automobiles is rare, once it occurs, it may cause huge personal and property losses. Many spontaneous combustions were not handled in time, and the original small fires were not well controlled in the end. So, how should we prevent it? What to do when spontaneous combustion occurs? First of all, we need to understand why cars ignite spontaneously.
What are the reasons for spontaneous combustion?
Automobile spontaneous combustion is generally oil circuit, circuit andCar modificationDue to the high temperature of the engine during normal operation due to component damage, the outer insulating skin of nearby wires is more likely to age and fall off. Under such working conditions, it is very easy to induce spontaneous combustion.
With the vigorous development of the automotive aftermarket, more and more car owners have "decorated" their cars to varying degrees, ranging from installing front and rear radars, replacing high-end audio, etc., to changing the wiring. However, most of the modification sho

With the vigorous development of the automotive aftermarket, more and more car owners have "decorated" their cars to varying degrees, ranging from installing front and rear radars, replacing high-end audio, etc., to changing the wiring. However, most of the modification shops on the market are mixed with fish and eye, product technology is not formal and cut corners, which brings safety hazards to vehicles.
When a car is exposed to the sun, air fresheners, gas lighters, perfumes, etc. are susceptible to heat expansion, which may cause the car to ignite spontaneously. Common inflammable and explosive materials in the car include lighters, cosmetics in vacuum aluminum cans, perfumes, detergents, polishes, etc. Especially perfume, pay special attention.
How to prevent spontaneous combustion?
To perform frequent inspections, the car’s circuits, oil circuits, and lines should be inspected regularly to avoid spontaneous combustion, and the engine should be cleaned accordingly to clean up the engine sludge. Especially in the hot summer, the road temperature is even higher when exposed to the sun.
Try to avoid large-scale modification. For consumers who love modification, if you must modify the vehicle, you should choose a regular modification store, professional 4s shop, etc. to be modified by professional modification technicians.
When the car owner places flammable and explosive materials such as perfume, lighters and cosmetics, it is best to place them on the dashboard, back panel, trunk, etc., away from direct sunlight. In addition, ordinary vehicles should try not to load spare gasoline, diesel and other dangerous oils.
How to extinguish spontaneous combustion simply and quickly?
When the vehicle does spontaneously ignite, don't panic. Before most spontaneous combustion occurs, there will be precursors: local smoke, burnt smell, etc. If the owner finds that the vehicle is abnormal, do not force it to continue driving, and stop quickly. At this time, the long standby fire extinguisher can play a key role. Call the police as soon as possible on the premise of ensuring their own safety, and try to use vehicle-mounted fire extinguishers or other fire extinguishing equipment for initial fire fighting.
When it was foundEngine coverThick smoke is constantly emitting from underneath. Do not open the engine cover to extinguish the fire at this time. First, the engine cover will be very hot at this time after being grilled. If you open the cover in a hurry, you will definitely burn your fingers. Second, even if we successfully open the engine cover, the fire inside will burn more violently due to exposure to more oxygen, so we should stay away from the scene as soon as possible and report to 119 in time. In the case just mentioned above, the car owner opened the engine cover, and the fire spread even more, and ordinary fire extinguishers could no longer extinguish.
Find out the fire area and put out the fire in the shortest time, but at this time, our small fire extinguishers are often not enough at all, so it is very important to ask passing drivers to participate in the fire fighting. For example, a car fire suddenly occurs on a street where vehicles are shuttled, and when your own fire extinguisher is used up, don’t panic at this time. You should stop in time and ask for help from passing vehicles. Use someone else’s car fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire in time. This can greatly improve the efficiency of fire fighting. , Shorten the fire fighting time, thereby reducing the economic loss caused by the fire. Special attention should be paid to the fact that car fires are electrical fires and cannot be extinguished with water. This will cause gasoline to float on the water and run around, causing the fire to expand.
Finally, it is worth reminding that if the fire develops rapidly, do not rush to rescue the property in the vehicle. After all, personal safety is the most important thing.
