Continuous degradation of fuel we use in our car engines produces some substantial amount of heavy and sticky residue. This substance can block fuel and oil flow through the engine. It makes engine parts wear out prematurely. Removing this residue from your engine will make your engine last much longer. Below are some problems you may notice with your car.
Car doesn’t come on or does so after several attempts.
If your car doesn’t start right away in the morning, or takes several attempts to do so. The car may be suffering from any of the following;
Substantial amount of dirt in fuel injector, carburettor or fuel filter, bad spark plug or coil, bad or faulty fuel pump.
Rough idle
Rough idle means the rate at which the engine runs when the throttle is not pressed.
Most car and truck engines idle steady at 600 to 1200 RPM. A good engine will idle smoothly and quietly. If your car is doing rough idle, you will notice that the engine looks shaky with a substantial amount of vibration and unpleasant noises. Causes include dirty fuel injector/carburettor, bad spark plugs and vacuum air leaks.
Engine suddenly stops running.
It is called engine stall. its when the engine suddenly dies when its supposed to be running. Though the engine may start back up again. Stalling may indicate an inadequate amount of fuel or air going into the engine. causes include bad spark plug, bad coil or dirty air filter.
Hesitation
If your engine has a delayed response when you press down the throttle,then it may have the hesitation problem.Common causes include clogged fuel filter, dirty fuel injectors, failing spark plugs or plug wires, vacuum/air leak, weak fuel pump and bad fuel.
If your car doesn’t run, accelerate & climb hills as fast as it normally should then it may be suffering from power loss. It could also be caused by any, some or all of these;clogged fuel filter, bad fuel injectors, failing/faulty spark plugs or plug wires, vacuum/air leak, weak fuel pump and low quality fuel.
In conclusion, for you car to operate smoothly have your car serviced at least every six months
The battery in your car is designed to kickstart your car. It provides the needed voltage to the kickstarter necessary to start your vehicle. The commonly used battery is the sealed lead acid battery.The battery is usually maintenance free and when it wont charge properly anymore discard and get a new one. The lifespan of a typical car lead acid battery is 1-2 years..
How to care for your car battery
Never let the battery run down or discharge completely. Even a single occurrence can severely damage the battery. May sure head, parking and interior light are not on when you park and exit the vehicle. Make sure you switch off the car completely and no appliance is discharging the battery when you are not using the vehicle.
Make sure battery terminals are well connected.
When battery light indicator comes on in the dashboard, quickly have the alternator and battery checked by qualified personnel
Peripheral electronic devices for use in your car should be used when the engine is running.
If you use a do it yourself maintenance lead acid battery , always check the electrolyte level and fill with distilled water if it falls below the marked minimum.
Your car battery is not designed for inverter indoor use. Using your car battery for this purpose will quickly damage the battery.
Indications that your car battery will soon need replacement
Engine fails to start quickly and smarter than before
Battery Indicator comes on the dashboard
You always have to tighten and retight the terminals a considerable number of times you start the engine.
White residue on the battery terminal.
Battery always discharges before the next morning.
Battery performance has greatly reduced. Runs down quickly under little load.

RCC 11 Element Design is an excel package used for the design of reinforced concrete structural elements. The structural elements are the slabs, beams, and columns. In other words a slab is a structural element, a beam is a structural element and so on.
RCC11 designs one structural element at a time. For instance, if a suspended reinforced concrete floor consists of 7 slab panels (or juelements), you use RCC 11 to design each slab panel one by one. The same goes for beams and columns.
RCC11 designs to BS (British Standard ) 8110, 1997. You can use it to design slabs, rectangular beams, tee and L beams, beam shear and columns. The software shows you how it arrived at its answers, stating formulas used and calculation process.
The design program doesn’t do all the calculations for you. It calculates steel reinforcement required, deflection check, sizing and much more. For RCC11 to design slabs and beams you need to have previously calculated their design moments on your own. For columns, you will need to have calculated the axial loading and moments. If you are designing the structural elements as simply supported, then calculating the design moments is easy. If you are designing as continuous, then knowledge of moment distribution may be required. You can also consult the BS code 1997 for simpler methods. If you have free software that does moment distribution; fine.
RCC 11 is a public release version meaning you do not need to pay to use it. It’s free software and one of the best free.
