Can motorcycles use gasoline?
1 Answers
Motorcycles can use gasoline, but diesel should not be used. Reasons for not using diesel: Adding diesel to a motorcycle is equivalent to adding impurities to gasoline. Too much diesel will prevent ignition, while too little makes ignition difficult. This is because diesel engines operate through high-pressure compression rather than electrical ignition, whereas gasoline engines rely on electrical ignition. Choosing the right gasoline for motorcycles: Motorcycles generally use 95-octane gasoline. However, for models with lower compression ratios, such as those below 9.5:1, 92-octane gasoline is sufficient. The octane rating does not indicate the quality of the fuel but rather its compatibility with the engine's compression ratio.
