What to Do If You Accidentally Filled 95 Gasoline with 92?
1 Answers
If your car requires 95 gasoline but you accidentally filled it with 92 gasoline, you can use gasoline additives that increase the octane rating. This will enhance the gasoline's stability and prevent engine knocking during operation. Note: Occasionally mixing 95 gasoline with 92 is not a major issue, but consistently using lower-grade gasoline in a high-grade vehicle can severely affect engine performance, leading to knocking. In severe cases, it may reduce the engine's lifespan and increase maintenance costs. Additional Information: Differences between 92 and 95 gasoline: 1. Different Isooctane Content: 92 gasoline consists of 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 gasoline consists of 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. 2. Different Anti-Knock Properties: 95 gasoline has a higher isooctane content, providing better anti-knock performance. Different anti-knock properties suit engines with different compression ratios. High-compression engines require 95 gasoline, while low-compression engines can use 92 gasoline.
