How long can the car drive when the water tank is broken?
Automobile water tank, also known as radiator, is the main part of automobile cooling system, and its function is to dissipate heat. The cooling water absorbs heat in the water jacket, flows to the radiator and dissipates heat, then returns to the water jacket and circulates continuously. So as to achieve the effects of heat dissipation and temperature adjustment, and is also an important part of an automobile engine.
When the automobile water tank is short of water, the water tank water shortage sign will be displayed on the dashboard, and its sign is the shape of a thermometer. If the vehicle continues to drive, the automobile parts will be overloaded, and the strength of the piston, piston ring, connecting rod and other parts will be reduced or even deformed.

In an emergency, distilled water can be used as a substitute for automobile antifreeze. After driving the car to a nearby service point, the antifreeze should be replenished immediately. When adding antifreeze, the distilled water in the water tank must be pumped out to prevent the antifreeze from deteriorating. Never use tap water instead. Tap water contains minerals, which will form scale when heated in the water tank pipeline. In severe cases, scale will block the cooling system of the engine.
Don't open the water tank if it leaks, because there is little or too little water in the water tank, and the engine can't get water or be cooled by anti-freezing waves. The engine will pull the cylinder or hold the tile because of high temperature, which is quite dangerous, so the engine will not start.
