What kind of fuel should a pickup truck use?
1 Answers
Pickup trucks are equipped with either diesel or gasoline engines. In southern regions, 0-grade diesel can be used, while in northern regions, -10 or -20-grade diesel is required. For gasoline-powered pickups, the fuel type depends on the engine requirements, and options include 92, 93, or 97-grade gasoline. Below are some relevant details: 1. Advantages of pickup trucks: They combine the dual characteristics of family cars and commercial vehicles (passenger and cargo use), featuring notable utility for both work and household purposes. Additionally, their diverse configurations (such as two-door or four-door, long or short cargo beds, two-wheel or four-wheel drive, gasoline or diesel engines) cater to a wider range of needs. Compared to sedans, they offer superior load capacity and off-road capability, while compared to light and mini trucks, they provide better safety and driving comfort. 2. High combustion efficiency: Diesel engines have higher combustion efficiency, making them more fuel-efficient. Generally, a 2.5L four-cylinder engine consumes 6-7 liters per 100 kilometers, while a 2.8L four-cylinder engine consumes 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers.
