Umewahi chota maji na kibuyu ukiwa kih’ii. You will understand. Effects of 8-4-4

Lakini ni upuss.

Si upus msee, hao wasee huwa wajanja sana. Hiyo gari wakiinamisha inakula litre zingine kama tano hivi

‘ujanja’ iko wapi hapo?

Hao ufanya biz msee, ukipatiwa hiyo gari, mahesabu itakushinda msee

Weh msee, ujanja iko wapi msee?

Hiyo litre tano kwani anapewa free?

Ujinga ya kibonobo

When you see it shaking don’t come knocking

To ensure the tank is completely full to reduce refueling stop over time during the day and maximize on trips. The shape of the tank is odd.

Have you ever parked your car kwa slope alafu when turning it on it has more fuel than when parked straight flat on the road? It’s the same principle. The fuel tank is not a box iko na compartments na weird shapes. By doing that they ensure fuel reaches all parts kama anatravel to kisumu From Nairobi by the time ako naks Gari bado itakuwa full tank according to fuel gauge.

zinaitwa baffles, they’re designed to reduce sloshing of the fuel so as to keep the center of mass of the vehicle stable

Kujaza full-tank. mafuta ifike kwenye haifikangi

Kujaza hadi kwa mkia

they do it to create space and put more fuel, probably because that is the only place they are authorized to fuel. The fuel tank is not like a thermo flask, it is irregular and will trap air in some compartments, shaking the car will help expel trapped air.
