Therefore, the drain hole of the fuel tank cap is indispensable, and it must be checked regularly, otherwise there will be safety risks.
Car door drainage hole

Trunk spare tire drain hole
There will be drainage holes at the bottom of the groove where the spare tire is placed in the trunk. If it is not cleaned in time, the smell will be very big after a long time, and even moldy . And this place is closed, it is easy to cause condensation, even if it does not rain, it will also cause water, let alone the rainy weather.
Engine compartment drain hole
The engine compartment drain hole is at the rear of the engine compartment, the lower edge of the windshield, and the air-conditioning inlet outlet, which is easy to be blocked by leaves, sludge and other debris. . In addition, it is very close to the air inlet of the air conditioner. When there is too much water, it will flow into the air inlet of the air conditioner.
Air conditioning drain hole
When you find water on the floor of the co-pilot, you can judge that the air conditioner drain hole is blocked. It is generally located in the lower part of the evaporation box.
