Recently, the use and maintenance of fire trucks has become a hot topic, especially the fuel type and maintenance of fire trucks, which has triggered widespread discussion. This article will combine the hot content of the entire network in the past 10 days to provide you with a detailed analysis of the fuel selection, power system and related data of fire trucks.

1. Analysis of fire truck fuel types

What kind of fuel does a fire truck need?

As a special vehicle, fire trucks’ fuel selection directly affects fire extinguishing efficiency and vehicle performance. The following are the fuel types and characteristics of common fire trucks:

Fuel typeApplicable modelsadvantageshortcoming
diesel fuelLarge fire trucks and ladder trucksStrong power, long battery life and low maintenance costLoud noise and difficult to start in winter
gasolineSmall fire trucks and command vehiclesQuick start, low noiseHigh fuel consumption and weak power
hybridNew environmentally friendly fire truckEnergy saving, environmental protection, quiet operationHigh cost and complex technology

2. Hot issues on fire truck fuel usage

1.Why do large fire trucks mostly use diesel?
The diesel engine has high torque and is suitable for heavy-duty vehicles. It also has better fuel economy and is suitable for long-term operations.

2.What are the oil standards for fire trucks?
According to national standards, fire trucks must use vehicle diesel that meets the GB19147 standard or vehicle gasoline that meets the GB17930 standard.

3.Development Trend of New Energy Fire Trucks
Recently, electric fire trucks have been piloted in many places, but due to limited battery life and charging time, traditional fuel vehicles are still the main ones.

3. Fire truck fuel related data statistics

Fuel tank capacity200-400LCan meet 6-8 hours of continuous operation
Oil change interval5000-10000kmDepends on intensity of use

4. Precautions when using fire truck fuel

1.Strictly follow the instructions for refueling, Do not use fuel with a lower grade than the specified one.

2.Check the fuel system regularly, including fuel tanks, fuel pipes, filters and other components.

3.Pay special attention to antifreeze in winter, diesel vehicles need to add anticoagulant or replace winter diesel.

4.Create oil usage records, making it easy to track changes in fuel consumption and detect abnormalities in time.

5. Recent hot events related to fire trucks

1. A fire truck in a certain place caused an engine failure due to incorrect oil filling, which delayed the fire-fighting opportunity and triggered a discussion on the oil specifications for special vehicles.

2. The new energy fire truck was successfully piloted in Shenzhen and can support 4 hours of regular operation on a single charge.

3. The country has issued new regulations requiring fire trucks to use National VI fuel standards to reduce emissions.

Conclusion

As an important equipment for emergency rescue, fire trucks’ fuel selection and maintenance are directly related to fire-fighting efficiency. Through the detailed analysis and data display in this article, I believe everyone will have a clearer understanding of "what fuel should be added to a fire truck?" In the future, with the advancement of technology, new energy fire trucks may gradually become popular, but at this stage, we still need to pay attention to the standardized use and maintenance of traditional fuel fire trucks.
