How does filling with fake gasoline affect motorbikes and cars?
Filling in fake gasoline will cause cars and motorbikes to be difficult to start, turn off while running, or more dangerously, easily catch fire or explode.
Fake gasoline is created by mixing chemical compounds that easily detonate the octane number with real gasoline. This type of gasoline contains many impurities, causing direct damage to the vehicle, reducing power, easily causing the engine to stall, and even posing a risk of fire or explosion.
So how does fake gasoline harm motorbikes and cars?
Wear and tear on mechanical parts in the vehicle
According to many mechanical engineers, fake gasoline is made from ether gasoline and mixed with solvents to increase the Octance index. In addition, fake gasoline with many impurities will harm the vehicle engine, wear out mechanical parts, reduce capacity, affect engine operation and exhaust treatment systems.
The car is difficult to start and easily turns off while moving.
Vehicles filled with fake gasoline and operated for a long time will have difficulty starting and stalling when running because fake gasoline directly affects the fuel pump system and engine sensors that are responsible for providing information to the vehicle's central control unit, leading to fuel pump failure and engine failure.
Signs of filling up with fake, poor quality gasoline
One of the easy to recognize signs when you accidentally fill up with fake gasoline is that the vehicle's acceleration is no longer smooth, the vehicle has a lag in acceleration, and it takes a few seconds to react to the throttle or pedal.
In addition, fake gasoline also affects the phenomenon of the car automatically changing speed while running. Even without pressing the accelerator, the driver can still clearly feel the car changing speed for unknown reasons.
When the car is running and suddenly turns off, this happens when you accidentally fill it with fake gasoline, because the internal combustion process will not be able to create the necessary power to maintain engine operation.
What to do when you find out you have filled with fake gasoline?
When encountering the above signs, the vehicle may have been filled with fake gasoline. The user should immediately go to the nearest vehicle warranty center to drain all the fake gasoline, as well as check the detailed condition of the vehicle's engine.
