The fuel injectors can become clogged after prolonged gas combustion. Running a tank of gasoline on the highway periodically can improve the situation. After switching a fuel-powered vehicle to natural gas, the difference in gas-to-air ratio results in weaker explosive force, potentially causing engine damage. After an oil change and comprehensive engine maintenance, this phenomenon significantly improves. Damaged solenoid valves are a major cause of jerking, which can be categorized into intermittent jerking and consistent jerking. The difference is simple: intermittent jerking occurs randomly, while consistent jerking happens at specific RPMs, gear shifts, or fixed speeds. Over time, this can lead to a series of issues such as high transmission temperature, vibrations, and slippage. Below are the advantages of natural gas: 1. Good economy—natural gas mixes easily with air in the engine, burns completely, is clean, resists carbon buildup, has good anti-knock properties, and does not dilute lubricating oil; 2. Significantly reduces wear on engine cylinder components, extending engine lifespan and lubricant usage period; 3. High social benefits—compared to petroleum fuels, it has lower energy loss during production, emits fewer pollutants, and is environmentally friendly. Gearbox impacts and jerking are often not due to internal valve body damage but stubborn dirt and impurities inside the valve body, especially when dirt accumulates and causes blockages, preventing effective oil pressure regulation and leading to jerking, impact, and slippage issues. The traditional solution is changing the gear oil, which helps but doesn’t fully resolve the problem. Non-professionals hesitate to perform gearbox repairs, but with technological advancements, jerking issues can now be resolved without disassembly.
