Should the Asian Lion use 92 or 95 octane gasoline?
1 Answers
The Asian Lion uses 92 octane gasoline. The difference between 92 and 95 octane gasoline: Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid obtained from petroleum through distillation, cracking, or pyrolysis, used as fuel and appearing as a transparent liquid. 92 octane gasoline consists of 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane; 95 octane gasoline consists of 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. The main difference between the two lies in the purity of isooctane—the higher the purity, the stronger the gasoline's anti-knock properties. Consequences of mixing the two types of gasoline: Mixing the two types of gasoline will lower the isooctane index, failing to meet the engine's anti-knock requirements. This can easily lead to engine knocking, produce more carbon deposits, and cause rapid spark plug damage, ultimately resulting in engine failure.
