1 Answers
Exhaust pipes normally turning black is generally related to factors such as direct fuel injection + turbocharging, prolonged idling warm-up time, poor air quality, etc., as these factors, to varying degrees, affect the combustion of the air-fuel mixture. However, if substandard gasoline is used, there is oil burning, or the catalytic converter is faulty, these conditions can exacerbate the blackening of the exhaust pipe. Below is a related introduction: 1. Carbon deposit formation: The fundamental reason for exhaust pipes turning black is the incomplete combustion of car fuel, leading to carbon deposits. To reduce carbon deposits, car owners need to regularly maintain the fuel system, intake, and exhaust systems. 2. Caused by substandard gasoline: If the exhaust pipe of a new car turns black, it may be due to the use of substandard gasoline or an incompatible fuel grade.
