What to Do If You Accidentally Fill a Car Requiring 95 Octane with 92 Octane?
1 Answers
The solutions for accidentally filling a car that requires 95 octane with 92 octane are as follows: 1. Don't worry too much. If your car is supposed to use 95 octane gasoline but you filled it with 92 octane, the main difference between the two grades lies in their anti-knock properties. This may cause engine knocking, reduced power, and other issues. 2. If this happens, you should purchase a fuel additive that increases the anti-knock properties. After using it, wait until the 92 octane gasoline is almost used up, then refill with 95 octane. If conditions permit, you can also siphon out the wrong fuel after the mistake and refill with 95 octane gasoline.
