Does mixing 98 octane and 95 octane gasoline have any impact?
1 Answers
Mixing 98 octane and 95 octane gasoline does have an impact. The effects of mixing them are: 1. Shortening the service life of the car's ignition system, fuel injectors, and spark plugs; 2. Advancing the timing of major vehicle repairs; 3. Causing unstable power output in the vehicle; 4. Increasing tailpipe pollution and harming the environment. 92 octane and 95 octane gasoline cannot be mixed because doing so affects the normal operation of the engine, leading to increased noise, reduced driving power, and engine damage. Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid derived from the fractional distillation, cracking, or pyrolysis of petroleum, used as fuel. The characteristics of gasoline are: 1. Volatility: It rapidly vaporizes in the engine cylinder and forms a uniform combustible mixture with air; 2. Stability: The ability to resist oxidation under normal temperature and liquid-phase conditions is called stability.
