Is There Harm in Mixing 95 and 92 Gasoline?
1 Answers
Mixing 92 and 95 gasoline occasionally has little impact; however, long-term mixing can affect the vehicle's ignition system, fuel injection system, and engine lifespan. Below is relevant information about gasoline: 1. Main components of gasoline: The primary components of gasoline are hydrocarbons such as C5—C12 alkanes, cycloalkanes, alkenes, and aromatic hydrocarbons. The difference between different grades of gasoline lies in the slight variations in the content of alkenes and aromatic hydrocarbons, as well as the difference in the content of the gasoline additive MTBE. Higher grades have higher contents of alkenes, aromatic hydrocarbons, and MTBE. 2. Octane number: Different fuel grades have different octane numbers, and the fuel grade is determined by the octane number value. Higher-grade fuels have higher octane numbers, which provide better anti-knock performance, resulting in smoother engine operation, reduced vehicle wear, and better engine protection.
