Can a Gasoline Car Run on Diesel?
1 Answers
Gasoline cars cannot run on diesel for the following reasons: 1. The fuel injector pressure is insufficient, causing diesel to only partially atomize and enter the cylinder in liquid form, leading to incomplete combustion, carbon buildup, and clogged injectors; 2. Before the spark plug ignites, the high-pressure mixture reaches the auto-ignition temperature, resulting in violent combustion, abnormal pressure in the combustion chamber, and potential engine damage, including cylinder scuffing. Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid derived from petroleum through distillation or cracking processes, primarily composed of aliphatic hydrocarbons, naphthenes, and a certain amount of aromatic hydrocarbons, used as fuel.
