What are the consequences of refueling at private gas stations?
1 Answers
Long-term use can cause irreversible damage to the vehicle's fuel system. Related information is as follows: 1. Fuel classification: Based on the scale of petroleum refining enterprises, they can be divided into "central refineries" and "local refineries." "Local refineries" refer to small-scale regional oil refineries, which mainly produce low-end industrial oils. However, they may also provide fuel products in their respective regions, though the quality of these fuels may not meet standards. In some areas, there are even specialized training courses for "naphtha blending into gasoline," and some "local refineries" use naphtha to blend gasoline, which is then sold to private gas stations for huge profits. 2. The 'Big Three' oil companies: Using such blended fuels can corrode the fuel system, and long-term use may lead to irreversible damage to the vehicle's fuel system. In contrast, the 'Big Three' oil companies, which are part of "central refineries," have mature refining processes and comprehensive testing standards. The best fuel quality in China is generally found at the direct-operated gas stations of the 'Big Three' oil companies.
