In the past few days, many vehicle accidents have occurred in Tongling City, Anhui Province, causing public concern. At 15 o'clock in the afternoon on April 30th, a Black Ford sedan fired on the road opposite the Lions Mountain Government on Cuihu Road, Tongling City. The car was immediately alerted and the firemen promptly put out fire. Fortunately, no casualties were caused. In the fire investigation, it was found that the car had traveled 240,000 kilometers. The owner of the car said that the car had been used for 10 years. The investigation showed that there was a fire caused by a line fault in the engine hood of the car. Since the beginning of this year, there have been 11 vehicle fires in the city of Tongling, of which 8 were caused by motor vehicles such as cars and trucks. Among them, 5 vehicle fires were caused by faults in the electrical lines. The fire department reminded the owners of the following: High temperature season is approaching, prevention Car fires must do regular “five-checks” on the car's electrical wiring.

The first is to regularly check whether the connector of the vehicle's electrical appliances, switches, lamp holders, and brake light switches are loose or fall off.

The second is to check whether the terminals, wires, and insulation of high-current electrical devices, such as ignition switches, batteries, starting relays, and motors, are reliable.

Third, often check the frame, fuel tank, carburetor, cushions and other paint pieces, oil spills, flammable material around the wire, plug joints, etc., whether there is "broken", in a timely manner to rectify the potential risks of iron;

The fourth is to constantly check the engine and the chassis for oil leakage. Special attention should be paid to the tightness of the fuel oil pipe, brake fluid pipe and power steering oil pipe, especially the fuel pipe and power steering oil pipe. ;

The fifth is to regularly check the engine cleanliness, do not accumulate too much dirt. Oil and grease on engine cylinders can accelerate high-fire coil wire or spark plug leakage. And in the case of high temperatures, grease, oil and gas can easily volatilize the gasoline, in the event of electric sparks caused by ground iron, etc., can cause fire.
