What Impact Does Carbon Deposits Have on Vehicles?

[HectorAnn]

Carbon deposits can have the following effects on vehicles: 1. Reduce engine power and increase fuel consumption; 2. In severe cases, it may cause engine knocking, acceleration noise, and damage to pistons and crankshafts, or even lead to engine oil burning, requiring major repairs; 3. Directly affect the vehicle's exhaust emissions, making it fail the annual inspection. Methods to reduce carbon deposits: 1. Avoid prolonged idling: When the vehicle is idling, the engine receives less air, leading to incomplete fuel combustion, which exacerbates carbon deposit formation; 2. Choose the correct gasoline grade: The composition of gasoline also affects its combustion in the engine. If poor-quality fuel is used, more impurities will be produced during combustion, making carbon deposits more likely to form; 3. Drive at high speeds periodically: When the vehicle operates at high speeds, the engine components work more intensely, and the intake system can withstand stronger airflow, helping to wash away some carbon deposits.
