Can Diesel and Gasoline Be Mixed and Still Used?
1 Answers
No, it cannot be used. If diesel is added to a gasoline engine, the engine piston compression will cause the diesel to ignite prematurely, leading to knocking and cylinder scoring. The piston has not yet reached the top of its stroke, but the diesel has already exploded and transmitted power. It's like an athlete giving their all in the final sprint, about to reach the finish line, when suddenly someone rushes out and forcefully pushes them back. This kind of damage to the engine is severe. Below is relevant information: Hazards: It can easily cause carbon buildup inside the engine. Reason: The fuel injector pressure in a gasoline engine is not as high as that in a diesel engine. Therefore, when diesel is added to a gasoline engine, the injected diesel cannot be fully atomized, meaning some of it remains in liquid form and is directly sprayed into the cylinder. This leads to incomplete combustion, resulting in carbon buildup and even clogging the fuel injectors.
