Notes on refueling when traveling by car

For those who choose to travel on the road, don’t ignore the issue of refueling. Wang Chang Bianxiao reminds you that you must check the condition of your car before traveling and pay attention to the following precautions. It's best not to mix gasoline and gasoline. In fact, it will not have any obvious impact on the car itself, but car owners should try not to mix gasoline. Because gasoline is a mixture, the gasoline labels you usually come into contact with mean that the octane number of the gasoline is different. 93# and 97# gasoline are mixed, the octane number is between the two, and it will not have much impact on the engine. But in order to ensure the safety of the vehicle, it is best not to mix refueling. According to reports, before a car leaves the factory, there are clear regulations on fuel addition, and the type of gasoline added depends on the compression ratio of the engine. If your car requires high-grade oil and you accidentally add low-grade oil, the engine will knock, the power will drop, the water temperature will rise, and there will be a metal knocking sound during operation. However, car owners don’t have to worry too much. As long as you add a higher grade gasoline engine next time, it will return to normal. Some car owners think that increasing the engine oil grade can improve power. This is unnecessary because the engine's compression ratio is not up to standard, no matter how good the engine oil is. At most it can be lower carbon and cleaner. Of course, these effects are not that obvious. Don't mix diesel and gasoline together. Some car owners mix diesel and gasoline due to carelessness. The consequences are very serious. Because the two oils burn differently, your car may not catch fire when mixed. At this time, forced ignition may cause the car to be scrapped. Therefore, if you accidentally add the wrong oil, you should immediately contact the manufacturer or repair shop to clean the mailbox and fuel system, and check the engine as soon as possible to avoid danger. After adding methanol, ethanol and unleaded gasoline, it is recommended to clean the oil line. Many people will inevitably encounter methanol, ethanol, and unleaded gasoline when traveling abroad. These gasolines are closed for promotion in places specified by the state. When you go to these places to refuel, don’t worry too much about the harm that mixed gasoline will bring to your car. Mixed gasoline will not cause any harm to the engine. But be sure to choose reputable gas stations like Sinopec and PetroChina to refuel, and avoid filling up at some small roadside gas stations. Because ethanol and methanol are hydrophilic, they can easily cause the oil to deteriorate when exposed to water. Therefore, remember to find a place to thoroughly clean the fuel system after mixing. The above is the car refueling notice provided by Wang Changbianxiao.
