Owners of cars with diesel engines know that diesel can be both summer and winter. If during a cold period a diesel engine intended for summer use is poured into the fuel tank, the car simply will not start. And what about gasoline? Details are on the AvtoVzglyad portal.
Few people know that gasoline that matches diesel can also be different. Not only diesel fuel differs in summer and winter classification. But not all gas stations supply fuel according to the season. Small gas stations, especially regional ones, don’t do much with fuel, as a rule they buy what is cheaper. Moreover: still no-no, but dilute with water.
And without it, water threatens to deteriorate the properties of gasoline, and even more so in the cold season. With such a “fuel”, the engine takes less traction, while at the same time its consumption increases. What can we say about cheap, unusual summer fuel, sometimes not very designed for use at low temperatures.
Besides, there are at least a dozen different classes of gasoline in terms of volatility. There are even certain standards and requirements for their production. At the same time, at least two types of gasoline are classified as summer, four are winter and four others are out of season. By the way, it is the latter that is most often bottled at gas stations. According to experts, such fuel equally successfully manifests its properties both in hot and cold weather.
But the so-called summer gasoline has quite low volatility, which, as in the case of a diesel engine, can make it impossible for the driver to start the engine in cold weather. Admittedly, this can usually only be experienced by car owners at extremely low temperatures. However, it is better not to pull fate by the ear.
When refueling a car at a gas station, you can always ask what kind of fuel is being put in the tank. Gas station representatives must have documents for the fuel they sell. In other words, documents on the procedure for accounting for petroleum products and their retail sale, as well as quality passports for each type of fuel available for sale. Naturally, technical instructions and a certified list of services rendered to customers.
In addition, information on all receipts of petroleum products, requests for the supply of fuel, accounting of equipment and inventory must be presented in special magazines. A mark on the inspection of gas stations by regulatory authorities is also required to stand.
