Does refueling at small gas stations affect the car?
1 Answers
If you choose a legitimate small gas station, meaning one with complete legal procedures, even if it's not Sinopec or PetroChina, the fuel quality is generally fine. However, if you opt for an unregulated small gas station, the poorer fuel quality may have certain impacts on your car. The hazards of inferior gasoline to a car include: 1. Clogging the fuel system: Inferior fuel contains more impurities, which can lead to incomplete combustion, producing numerous fuel residues that obstruct the fuel supply, causing severe car vibrations while driving. 2. Causing engine carbon deposits: The carbon deposits generated during incomplete combustion of gasoline can adhere to the engine's surface, soon leading to increased fuel consumption and, over time, potential engine damage. 3. Damaging the catalytic converter and oxygen sensor: Substandard fuel quality results in poor exhaust emissions after combustion. The catalytic converter is responsible for purifying exhaust gases before emission. If the exhaust contains many impurities, they can adhere to the catalytic converter, causing its damage.
