Gasoline is rising in price and the Russians are starting to tighten their belts, according to old tradition. How? Yes, they are looking for cheaper fuel, reassuring with words about empty wallets and difficult living conditions. We understand – we accept, but the rubles saved at a dubious gas station will turn into thousands of dollars spent on repairs. A detailed analysis of the current situation is contained in the material of the AvtoVzglyad portal.
We have not yet paid 60 rubles for the 95th gasoline, but we will soon. And in some cases we have already started. Of course you don’t want to drive with such prices, but you have to. And then, like manna from heaven, like a ray of sunshine from behind the clouds, an offer arises to “refuel” for 45 rubles at a gas station that looks ugly, but has long lived on a rural path. Should I take it? There is no point in asking the question of quality and quantity in such places, because miracles don’t happen. But I really want to believe it…
As a result, in the tank of the car there is a pile of “tails” – the remnants of fuel production in the refinery – incomprehensible additives, dirt and other slags that go directly into the fuel system. The fuel pump is the first to “taste” the consequences of saving: the filter mesh quickly clogs, the fuel pump creates the necessary pressure, works at the limit of its capabilities and can “arrive” in a few months of operation. And even faster if the node is already worn out.
Next stop – injectors. For a complete structural failure, a few such gas stations will suffice. It is clear that there is no question of spraying correctly, but over time, with a fairly fine and accurate adjustment, the device simply begins to fall apart, sending the owner directly to the store. Price – see for yourself, but it is better to refuel at the most expensive gas station. It would have been cheaper.
The burda burns in the cylinders and at the same time destroys the candles – look, how much is the candle now? – clogs the rings with coke and carbon deposits remain on the pistons and even on the cylinder walls. And if the candles themselves can be replaced, then the next three points will only be called the engine shot. It is accompanied by new gaskets, rubber bands, seals, hoses and other “peripherals” for about 80,000-100,000 rubles. Do you still want to save on gas?
For dessert, of course, the exhaust system in the face of a catalytic converter and a lambda probe. This pair together can easily pull a hundred thousand rubles, and failure occurs very quickly: even just expired gasoline can “throw out” the lambda for a couple of tanks. A clogged catalytic converter will lead to ‘choking’ the engine, and when you start it, it will begin to crumble itself, sending whole loads of ceramic chips straight into the cylinders. The real Armageddon under the hood, nothing else.
The prices are exorbitantly high, the work is complicated and dirty, and then you also have to pay for the furnishings. And all this is the result of a few fuel savings totaling about a thousand rubles. Saving a “thing” to pay tens of thousands later and be without a car for months is our way!
