How Much Fuel Should You Add to Your Car Each Time?
1 Answers
It is generally advisable to fill your car's tank to about 80% capacity. Below are methods to assess fuel quality: Check the Octane Rating: The octane rating of gasoline indicates its resistance to knocking. The appropriate octane rating should be chosen based on your engine's compression ratio. Mid-range cars with a compression ratio between 8.5 and 9.5 typically require 93-octane gasoline, while cars with a compression ratio above 9.5 should use 97-octane gasoline. Smell the Gasoline: Sulfur content is a key indicator of fuel quality. Strong-smelling gasoline is undesirable as it indicates high sulfur content. Observe the Color: Color is one of the most obvious indicators of fuel quality. Dark-colored gasoline is poor, but extremely light color isn't necessarily better. High-quality gasoline usually appears light yellow and is transparent or semi-transparent.
