There are a lot of humorous stories about blondes and not so much that they pour vegetable oil directly into the internal combustion engine. Garage cooperatives roll on the floor, men choke on smoke in stairwells, grandfathers twist their fingers to their temples. But in every joke, as you know, there is only a fraction of a joke. So there are quite reasonable grounds for such a seemingly comical act. And in more detail – in the material of the portal “AvtoVzglyad”.
Don’t give up money and prison, they said in Rus’, enunciating eternal truth in a wise aphorism: no one knows what will happen next. The one who lives as an outcast today will become an idol tomorrow and vice versa. What now seems like stupidity and a mistake could become the only solution at any moment. And the one and only. Well, about the last laugh, each of us knows the hard way.
The story about vegetable oil in the engine is a funny old story about a blond young lady, beaten a hundred times in humorous shows. Of course, with a sober mind and a solid memory, standing at the entrance 500 meters from the auto parts store, no one will pour “sunflower” into the engine. Why, when you can take a walk or take a bus, and then get the right lubricant and get the job done without consequences?
However, situations in life are different, and the way out is sometimes ambiguous. Knowing that the engine is “devouring”, the driver will carry a jerry can, or even two, of spare oil and calmly refill it as needed. After talking with past USSR and motorists of the 90s, you can learn a lot of funny stories about old trucks, in the luggage compartment of which dangled 40 liters of “mineral water”, which was poured into the eye at every stop. Ate, fumes, but went! But there are people on the road who are proud of their brand new modern cars and don’t know where the dipstick is.
We simulate the situation: winter, highway or country road, not a soul around, and the same “oiler” suddenly lights up on the dashboard – the engine does not have enough lubrication. Look under the car – and there is a puddle. Either the seals “blew” from the cold, or the crankcase burst from hitting the ice – hello, plastic protection – or the cork weakened from shaking and let all the lubricant sink into the ground. Basically, it is necessary to add, otherwise the piston will simply jam in the cylinder due to lack of oil. To the “spare parts” – three elbows on the map, 40 versts plus or minus, but to the grocery – walk. Oh yes, let’s complicate the task: the phone does not work, there is no connection.
And what to do, you ask? Freeze in the hope of “burning pipes” from a random oncoming car? Run to the track and grab a car? There are more questions than answers.
Yes, we have already tried to fill in another engine oil in our editorial Mitsubishi Lancer, and the old Japanese engine accepted. But in a difficult situation, at least we had some form of lubrication. And what if it isn’t there? The answer is to pour sunflower. Yes, it will not fit and will burn out, yes, it is impossible to run the engine in such a situation, you will have to drive slowly and use an emergency gang. Yes, upon arrival at the nearest service station, everything must be immediately replaced with mandatory flushing. But you’ll get there!
Sergey Dubov, an experienced facilitator and tribologist (an expert in physics who studies the contact interaction of solid deformable bodies during their relative motion), helped launch the AvtoVzglyad portal with Lancer and shared his knowledge about it. “Theoretically you can go wild on sunflower oil. You want – refined, you want – with a smell. Yes, even on tar, molten from birch. You must drive carefully, not far, do not turn and be extremely careful. But go away – go away. And then cleaning and washing will help. There will be no crime, instant death from the internal combustion engine and other horrors that have been repeatedly described on the Internet.”
The conclusion is simple: it’s easy to laugh while lying on the couch in a warm living room, but life forces you to burn the tar. Just to get there.
