- Which of the following statements about a fuel volume test is not true? a. This test measures the flow rate of the pump and can help isolate fuel system restrictions or weak pumps. b. The test is conducted by collecting the fuel dispensed by the certain during a period of time, normally 5 seconds. c. The flow of fuel into the container should be smooth and continuous with no signs of air bubbles. d. Poor results may indicate a bad pump or restrictions in the delivery system.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about fuel trim is not true? a. A positive fuel trim value means that the PCM detects a lean mixture and is decreasing the pulse width to add more fuel to the mixture. b. Short-term fuel trim represents changes made immediately in response to HO2S signals. c. Long-term fuel trim represents changes made to set a new base pulse width. d. Long-term fuel trim responds to the trends of the short-term fuel trim.arrow_forwardWhich of the following conditions can be revealed by fuel pressure readings?

- Octane number is the measure of a fuel's ability to resist knocking. The higher the octane number, the more compression the fuel can withstand before detonating. True Falsearrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about carbondioxide is not true?a. CO2 levels are highest when the air-fuel ratiois slightly leaner than stoichiometric.b. The production of CO2 is directly related tothe amount of fuel consumed; therefore,more fuel-efficient engines produce less CO2c. To reduce CO2 levels in the exhaust, engineers are working hard to decrease fuel consumption to keep CO2low.d. The concern for CO2 emissions is one of theprimary reasons for the delayed use of alternative fuels for automobiles.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about vehicles that are subject to Diesel Opacity Emissions (Smoke Meter) Inspection is NOT true?
