What happens when pumping wrong gasoline into oil-powered cars?

In all cases, pumping the wrong fuel if not detected and handled promptly will have extremely serious consequences for the car engine.

In case of mistakenly pumping gasoline for oil engines

In an oil engine, the gas mixture when sprayed and compressed at high pressure will explode, ignite, expand and produce. Gasoline is a fuel with a lower compression ratio than oil.

So gasoline will automatically explode soon, work before the piston completes the journey. This is sure to create backward piston pressure, which causes curvature to even break the boundary arm, crankshaft, and completely damaged engine.

In fact, if you mistakenly pump gasoline into a motorbike, oil heavier than gasoline should settle under the tank and will go into the combustion chamber first.

The car still works for a certain amount of time with the remaining oil. But when the oil runs out, the symptoms will occur very quickly, the engine emits strong thumps, jerky movements and immediate inactivity.

If you pump the wrong gasoline into a motorbike, oil heavier than gasoline should settle down under the tank.

But what if there is a reverse situation?

In a gasoline engine, the gas mixture will be detonated with a spark plug. Oil is a fuel with a higher compression ratio than gasoline, which cannot be exploded in the combustion chamber of a gasoline engine. The time when the spark plug is fired is when the piston completes the journey. So if the mixture of gasoline is successfully detonated, it will not cause adverse effects on the piston, the danger is low. When the fuel enters the oil, the engine will be dropped and then stopped because it is difficult to burst.

In fact, if you pump the wrong oil into a gasoline engine, the oil will quickly enter the combustion chamber. The car can only be operated for a short time and will die, sometimes it can only be started, not yet rolled.

Treatment

If detected at the time of refueling, never start the engine.

If the vehicle is running, it must be turned off immediately (some drivers have a bad habit of keeping the engine running while refueling). The next thing is to call the towing rescue to go to the garage to clean the fuel tank and pipes.

If you pump the wrong gasoline for the oil engine, it is better to rinse the engine system. If you pump the wrong oil for a gasoline engine, it is not necessary to do this.

Prevention

Many fuel tank caps are available to inform the appropriate fuel for the vehicle.

Turn off the engine, get off the vehicle and observe when refueling. Absolutely not sitting in the car, leaving work for employees of the gas station.

Getting off observation not only helps you avoid the risk of mistakenly pumping fuel but also to see what's going on around you, determine the location of the fire extinguisher in case something goes wrong.

In addition, some drivers use oil motorbikes and also affix the words DIESEL on the fuel tank cap to warn them. When lending a car to others, make sure the borrower carefully pumps the right fuel for his car.
