Can Crude Oil Refined by Indigenous Methods Be Used in Vehicles?

No, it cannot be used. At best, it may cause the engine to be scrapped, and at worst, it may lead to a car explosion. Poor combustion, increased carbon deposits, and insufficient engine power. The production process of crude oil refined by indigenous methods is simple, making it prone to safety accidents during production. Moreover, due to the backward production equipment, necessary stratified refining of the oil products cannot be performed, resulting in extremely poor oil quality. Illegally refined oil products also disrupt market order. Therefore, the production and sale of crude oil refined by indigenous methods have always been explicitly prohibited by the state. Crude oil refined by indigenous methods is produced by farmers in remote areas who purchase refining equipment through various channels and then dig a ditch in their yards or fields. They place waste engine oil, used tires, and other materials purchased from middlemen into iron tanks buried in the ground and "refine" diesel oil through simple boiling or other methods. Workshops producing crude oil by indigenous methods generate a large amount of toxic and harmful gases during production, with high concentrations, posing serious threats to the physical and mental health of producers and nearby residents. Arable land is polluted, soil fertility is severely reduced, and water sources and the environment are also damaged to a certain extent.
