If you accidentally put light oil on a motorcycle or car, "repair costs are hundreds of thousands of yen!?"
What happens if you put light oil on cars and motorcycles?
The soaring gasoline price does not stop.Gasoline is an unusual product that is greatly influenced by crude oil trading and exchange rates, leading to price fluctuations in almost real -time.According to the Resource Energy Agency, the national average price of regular gasoline as of February 7, 2022 is 171.2 yen per liter.
Otherwise, it is humanity to want to put gasoline a little cheaper, but some people add light oil, which is cheaper than gasoline, because the gasoline is so high. That's it.
It is hard to believe that people who are riding a vehicle are usually, but there are people in the world who think that light cars can add light oil.
There is a classic "light motor" for light oil, light cars, and motorcycles, and it is true that "light" characters are common, but there is nothing to do with it.As you know, light oil is a diesel engine fuel.Therefore, it is not possible to run even if light oil is put in the gasoline engine.
And it can be asserted that no user has used light oil on a light car on a daily basis.You will not be a "light motorcycle" user.This is because if you put light oil in the gasoline engine vehicle, it usually breaks in one shot.
The major difference between diesel engine and gasoline engine is the presence or absence of a spark plug.
The gasoline engine is a mechanism that compresses the fuel and air mixed with a piston and burns it with a spark plug to burn it.
On the other hand, the diesel engine blows fuel to the place where the air is compressed and ignites naturally.As the basics of physical phenomena, the temperature rises when air is compressed.It can be regarded as light oil that has a burning characteristics using the temperature.
So what happens if you put the fuel "light oil" that the diesel engine should use in the gasoline engine?Because it is a "flammable" fuel that is naturally ignited, an abnormal combustion called knocking occurs.
As a result, smoke from the muffler and the engine stops.In general, when refueling, gasoline is not zero in the tank, so even if you can run with some remaining gasoline, it will not be able to run immediately.At the beginning, he wrote, "There is no user who puts light oil on light cars and light motorcycles on a daily basis."
If you accidentally put light oil on a motorcycle or car, "remove light oil without running"
If you make a mistake such as putting light oil into a gasoline engine, what kind of measures do you need?
What is needed for a motorcycle or a car is to remove light oil from the gasoline tank.If you are almost not running, you can revive it alone.In that case, it will be inexpensive repair costs.
However, the story changes when it runs until the engine stops.
As mentioned above, knocking occurs when light oil is put in the gasoline engine.If the internal parts such as pistons and concones are damaged in the worst case, it is necessary to open the engine and replace the parts.In addition, cleaning of a carburetor or a fuel injection device called an injector is also required.
It cannot be asserted how much repair cost depends on the number of engine cylinders, etc., but the content is close to the engine overhaul, and it is safe to repair hundreds of thousands of yen for a motorcycle or a car.
However, in the case of a motorcycle, it is difficult to imagine that you accidentally put light oil and the engine breaks and stops.If you add light oil, the vibration will increase and you will not be able to ride properly.
The color of the nozzle of the gas station is determined for each oil type so that you do not make a mistake
By the way, there are many rumors that the number of errors to add light oil as the increase in self -stands has increased, but for me, this is an eyebrows.In the first place, if you don't choose light oil first, the light oil will not come out even if you stab the wrong nozzle.
Furthermore, at the self -stand, the clerk will not come out of the nozzle unless the clerk checks it on the monitor and turns it on.Even if the nozzle of light oil is made by mistake, it will not be refueled as the remaining drops in the nozzle fall.
In the case of cars, the clerk may not notice because there are cases where a diesel engine is loaded in a passenger car, but at least light oil (diesel engine) is currently generally riding in Japan.It is unlikely that the clerk will notice and point out, "I'm wrong."
By the way, the color of the refueling nozzle is common nationwide, the high octane is yellow, the regular gasoline is red, and the light oil is green.In order to prevent the light oil from misunderstanding in light cars, the number of gas stations that have been replaced with light oil to the notation and warning cover has increased.
Putting light oil into a gasoline engine vehicle is a very dangerous act of breaking the engine in one shot.Be careful not to make a mistake.
