From April 1, BS-VI Fuel to Be Available - Supreme Court

On 21st Februray'2018, government told Supreme Court, how it has met the deadline of making BS-VI fuel available in the country, two years prior. Cleaner Euro-VI petrol and diesel would be dispensed at all retail outlets in the National Capital from April 1. After covering NCR, the government intends to make BS-VI grade fuel in the rest of the country.

The government decided to switch over to BS-VI grade fuel directly from BS-IV skipping BS-V, as in India, number of registered vehicles in the national capital crossed the 1-crore mark in May last year, raising the further concerns over pollution levels and poor traffic conditions in the city. Data put out by Delhi government’s transport department put the number of registered vehicles in the city at 1,05,67,712 till May 25, 2017, including 31,72,842 cars. The biggest chunk of registered vehicles in the city is motorcycles and scooters (66, 48,730 units), which are known as major polluters due to poor emission standards.

With BS-VI emission standards coming in and being implemented for all segments, the particulate matter in the norm will reduce by 82% and nitrogen oxide (NOx) by 68%; PM and NOx emissions from two-wheelers will reduce by 89% and 76%, respectively; and PM and NOx emissions from trucks and buses will drop by 50% and 89%, respectively.

Further according to Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), BS-VI fuel would bring down sulphur content by five times from the current BS-IV levels i.e. 80% reduction will be witnessed. Also, the moment current fleet will upgrade to better fuel quality, the difference would be felt. But the maximum benefit will only be felt when the automobile technology is advanced to support BS-VI fuel.

Tires are one of the most important units of your car, truck or tractor and it becomes very important for every driver to know, how to rotate the tires, therefore here we provide you with effective tips about rotating the Tires. The knowledge for rotating the tires is a good skill to have. Rotating the tires is important because all the tires wear differently depending on their position on your automobile. By rotating your tires, you can make them last much longer and save some money for yourself.

Rotate Your Tires

• Before you begin lifting your car, make sure that you are on the flat, level surface and have engaged the parking brake.  You can place blocks of bricks at the back the tire which will be on the ground surface.

• Prior to raising the car, loosen the lug nuts by using a torque wrench so that it is easier to take off once the car is off the ground.

• Use your car jack to raise the car and place the jack stand under the tire and lower down the car. Be careful and do not go under the car. Take your time to decide which side to lift up first. It is possible that you might have to lift and lower the car multiple times.

• Once you have rotated the tires, you should ensure that the lug nuts are screwed back onto the tire properly. Lug nuts will stay in the same location on the car rather than with the same tire. Put them back using the start process. This means once you tighten one nut, tighten the one across from it, & continue the pattern.

• Lower the car back to the ground & remove the jack after lowering it.

• Learning to rotate the tires will save you a lot of money as well as increase the life of the tires. After you have learnt to change, it will not take you more than 20 min to change the tire. Once you are well versed with changing the tires, you can use it to change tires when they get flat.
