Will Gasoline Deteriorate If a Car Is Not Driven for a Month?
1 Answers
Gasoline will deteriorate if a car is not driven for a month. Here are the specific details about gasoline: 1. Composition: Gasoline is a hydrocarbon compound composed of hydrogen and carbon atoms. 2. Sulfur Content: The sulfur content in gasoline is 10mg/kg. Excessive sulfur content can clog the GPF. 3. Emissions and Anti-Knock Properties: To meet emission and anti-knock requirements, lead was added to gasoline. However, due to the toxicity of lead emissions, it has gradually been replaced. Sulfur and lead are harmful to vehicles or the environment, but they can improve gasoline stability. 4. Flammability: Gasoline is highly volatile and flammable. Gasoline vapor can ignite with just a small spark in the air. The evaporation rate mainly depends on external temperature; higher temperatures lead to faster evaporation.
