Running a modern, technologically advanced car with AI-92 gasoline can eventually lead to engine failure. Alexey Ruzanov, technical director of the Fit Service international network of automobile services, spoke about this in an interview with socialbites.ca.
“Modern cars have powerful engines. Highly accelerated and adapted to run on high-octane fuel – “AI-95” or “AI-98”. With regular use of AI-92 gasoline, the engine loses power, there is a great risk of damage, ”said Alexei Ruzanov.
The lower the octane number of gasoline, the faster the combustion process begins, the higher the fuel ignites, the expert explained. If fuel is poured into a powerful modern engine that ignites earlier than that provided by the engine designers, the power unit will be subjected to increased loads, which over time will lead to overheating and failure of the cylinder-piston group.
Some 20-30-year-old Zhiguli owners pour AI-98 or AI-100 gasoline into the old car in the hope of improving the performance of the engine. The expert noted that this was also a mistake.
“The engine here is under serious stress because it runs on low compression, therefore high octane fuel. Instead of efficiency and lower fuel consumption, the driver gets rapid engine wear and an impressive repair check,” explained Ruzanov.
Former Fit Service spokesperson registered In an interview with socialbites.ca, he said that the demand for car engine repair services in Russia is growing.
