The Impact of Using the Wrong Fuel in a Car

[ChristopherLynn]

If a car uses the wrong fuel for a long time, it can cause damage to the engine. Here are the hazards of using the wrong fuel: 1. Using lower octane fuel instead of higher octane fuel: In this case, the car may experience insufficient power and higher fuel consumption. However, the owner does not need to worry too much, as long as it is not a long-term practice, it will not cause significant damage. 2. Adding diesel to a gasoline car If diesel is accidentally added to a gasoline car, the vehicle usually cannot start. Since diesel has a lower ignition point, gasoline ignites through spark, while diesel ignites through compression. The ignition system will directly ignite the diesel, leading to knocking and engine damage.
