Diesel is a popular type of fuel in Russia, both among truck drivers and car owners: the engine on it pulls better and “eats” less, and further down the list. However, a diesel engine, especially when it comes to modern units, has one weakness – it is worth pouring dirty fuel into it, because it will go only for expensive repairs. But how to determine the properties of that very “heavy fuel” by eye? Details are on the AvtoVzglyad portal.
High-quality gas station from a well-known brand, a well-known and long-tested place, trust in a supplier are never arguments for absolute faith. Everything is changing, and, as recent years have shown, at lightning speed. Yesterday you could marvel and today you could be poisoned. Only the age-old rule remains valid: the rescue of drowning people is the work of the drowning people themselves. Who if not us?
Trust but verify, in short. And how to do it with diesel fuel? To the taste? For fragrance? About! It turns out that there are quite a few “beacons” that allow you to avoid expensive and lengthy engine repairs (the most expensive car unit, by the way) due to poor-quality refueling. And all these “beacons” are visible to the naked eye. Why not take another look? It won’t be worse.
Thus, high-quality and fresh diesel fuel has a bluish-greenish tint. If you stopped at an unknown gas station at a discount, bought thunderous slogans and poured something brown from a gun, get acquainted, in front of you is a “stove maker” – heating oil, which does not require payment of excise duty and, accordingly, much cheaper. However, sprayers from such a “neighborhood” will soon say goodbye to you and go to rest. If there are even minimal traces of some brown slurry in the fuel, the fuel is diluted with a “stove”, which is also best avoided.
A red solarium indicates violations during storage or transport. The old technique will digest such a substance, but the new-modern is no longer there. The engine will soon be called for repair, and no special loads will be required for this. Hysterical engine operation, low power, stench from the pipe – traces of refueling with just such fuel. It is quite possible that the most serious consequences can be avoided, but it certainly will not be better for a power source of such a power supply.
In large cities and at network gas stations, the probability of encountering the counterfeits described above is becoming less and less, this part of the service sector has been firmly occupied in recent years, the state is not afraid to impose huge fines on fraudsters. But at small monobrand gas stations in the regions, such fuel can still be found. The best option is not to risk it. But if there is no choice, it is still worth “putting straws” and checking again. An airless fuel system and a tow truck are not cheap pleasures, but an engine shot is more expensive.
