Situations on the road can sometimes go beyond the normal. And then you have to make a decision quickly, calmly, for sure. For example, what if the gasoline engine suddenly starts to lose lubrication and there is only a bottle of diesel fuel on hand? Is it possible to pour it so that there is no famine? The AvtoVzglyad portal tried the situation on its own.
Drivers are experienced, smart and smart people. They must be able to solve problems faster than others. Otherwise, it threatens with unpredictable consequences, both for their vehicle and for themselves. Agree, standing in the middle of the woods somewhere in the middle of nowhere without a drop of oil in the engine is still a joy. What if it’s winter? However, you should never despair, as a solution can be found, no matter how deadlocked the situation may seem. So, for example, if there is at least some kind of transport on this godforsaken road, you can ask other drivers to top up the oil. And it doesn’t matter if it’s diesel engine oil. And that’s why…
If you look at the properties of oils for diesel and gasoline engines, in fact their difference lies in the composition of additives. Diesel fuel produces much more soot and sludge when burned, which means more detergent additives have to be in the oil for a heavy duty fuel engine. It is thus possible to avoid coking of the engine due to the abundance of deposits on the working surfaces.
It is worth mentioning the base number of diesel oil, which allows it to be poured into a gasoline engine, and gasoline into a diesel engine – with caveats and many more problems. In short, the base number of diesel grease is higher and it works much better with acids in low quality fuels, neutralizing them.
It is worth noting that you can mix diesel and gasoline oil. An engine dies faster from running dry than from a cocktail of oils. The only thing that has to be sacrificed is the catalytic converter. Therefore, if you really need to add diesel oil to a gasoline engine, then you should not drive this mixture for a long time. And the cause of the lubricant leakage should be eliminated and urgently replaced with the one recommended by the car manufacturer.
Remember that all these tips are a last resort to get out of a difficult situation. Obviously, if you stopped another driver, it is better to ask him to drag you on a “tie” to the nearest island of civilization, where you can solve all the problems. But if there is no cable, and the driver drives in a completely different direction, then as a working option, ask him for a “liter” of diesel oil and try to get to the nearest settlement yourself. And trust me, it’s better than freezing in the woods.
