How are cars affected by 'dirty gasoline'?

Cars using fuel containing impurities (dirty gasoline) for a long time can cause the engine to overheat, become sluggish... and can even lead to fire or explosion, causing damage to consumers.

Impurities in gasoline are the number one enemy of the fuel system of all vehicles, especially cars. However, consumers cannot detect it with the naked eye when pumping fuel into the vehicle, leading to many consequences during use.

Signs of vehicles using gasoline mixed with impurities

Overheating is the most easily detected phenomenon when a car uses dirty gasoline.

According to auto engineers, during engine operation, if gasoline is mixed with impurities, there will be some unusual signs that can be noticed such as the engine not running evenly, when the throttle will jerk, making the acceleration process of the car difficult. In addition, the car has an abnormal engine overheating phenomenon, making many people worried when using the car.

How are cars affected by dirty gasoline?

In cases where cars "unwillingly" use dirty gasoline, the fuel filter will easily become clogged, and the car's fuel tank will often be covered with sediment. In particular, details such as "connectors" and hoses will quickly crack, affecting the fuel delivery process.

Particularly for rubber hoses in the fuel system, they will swell and crack if gasoline mixed with impurities is used for a long time. That causes the vehicle to leak fuel, and if the sediment builds up over time, it will break the fuel pipe.

In addition, not only the fuel system is directly affected, but the engine is also a victim when the vehicle operates with the phenomenon of vibration, jerking, and weak engine due to fuel combustion not as originally designed by the manufacturer. If this condition persists, it will cause the engine's mechanical parts to "degrade without brakes" and wear out, leading to a significantly shortened engine life.

Using dirty gasoline for a long time can lead to car fire and explosion.

More dangerously, if the vehicle is not regularly maintained to detect this serious error, it will lead to a high risk of fire or explosion of the vehicle while moving.

Consumers cannot distinguish dirty gasoline, so regular vehicle maintenance to protect their property and lives is necessary to limit the risk of "losing money and getting sick" when using fuel that does not guarantee quality.
