What to Do If You Accidentally Mix 95 and 92 Octane Gasoline in Your Car?

[ArcherAnn]

If you accidentally mix 95 and 92 octane gasoline in your car, the solution is to drain the mixed fuel and refill with the correct gasoline. The octane rating of gasoline represents the ratio of the actual anti-knock performance of the fuel compared to standard gasoline. Higher octane ratings indicate stronger anti-knock performance. Methods to drain the fuel include: 1. Open the fuel tank's drain screw; 2. Use a plastic tube inserted through the fuel filler neck to siphon out the fuel; 3. Disconnect the engine's return fuel line to drain the fuel; 4. Remove the fuel inlet line, locate the fuel pump relay, and use a wire to bridge the relay to activate the fuel pump. The potential harms of mixing 95 and 92 octane gasoline are: 1. Premature ignition may occur; 2. It can cause engine knocking, reduced power, and increased coolant temperature; 3. It may lead to increased carbon deposits in the engine.
