The wrong type of petrol can cause an engine explosion

Fuel filling with octane not as recommended by the manufacturer can cause the piston to puncture.

Fuel filling with octane not as recommended by the manufacturer can cause the piston to puncture.

Nytimes said, a journalist from Automobiles Deluxe magazine had a problem with the 2010 Cadillac SRX Turbo on the test run. At that time, the octane rating that the company requested for gasoline was 91, but when it was tested again, it had 88. The expert from Cadillac said, filling up with wrong octane results in dynamic damage. muscle.

Piston was punctured.

Similar to recent, Thailand's Motorcycles said that it has recorded another case of motorbike with piston head which was punctured but caused by filling up octane .

Experts said that the energy that gasoline types with different octane levels generated during combustion are the same, but the burning time is different. The high octane gasoline burns longer, so even though the exhaust port is open, the mixture continues to burn, causing the exhaust valve to overheat. This temperature may cause an explosion or lead to premature ignition in the next cycle.

Burning early when the engine is in the compression process, because the temperature is too high in the previous cycle, the compression mixture has ignited itself, although the spark plug has not set fire to start the explosion. When the mixture was burnt, the flywheel realized that the compression process was completed, the combustion gas had no escape route because the exhaust valve was unopened, so the high pressure pushed the gas out to the te by breaking the piston head.

When users use the wrong type of gas, it may be harmful that they will not come immediately after they roll, or the throttle valve is working properly and regularly. But if you always open a large gas station, extreme pressure, such as a strong gas when a low rpm cycle can lead to the greatest risk of an engine explosion.
