With the improvement of people's living standards, cars have gradually changed from luxury to necessity. You need a car to go to work, take your children to school, go to the supermarket to buy food and so on. Although many cities are congested with traffic, they still can't stop people's enthusiasm for buying cars. After all, there is a private car, which is relatively more convenient to go out. In the traditional Spring Festival, many people choose to drive home for the Spring Festival, so it is necessary to fill up the gas before going home. But what problems should we pay attention to before refueling?

Due to the relatively large oil profits, there are more and more fake gas stations besides regular gas stations such as PetroChina and Sinopec. If you are not careful, you may be cheated. These fake gas stations are not regular gas stations, but businesses deceive consumers with similar names, making people think they are going to regular gas stations. When you fill up the gas tank, you find that you spend less money than before, and you may feel glad that you got a big bargain.

However, after using this non-compliant oil for many times, you will find that the power of the car is obviously not as good as before, and even serious engine failure may occur. Besides, this kind of gasoline can't help burning. A regular gas station can run 670 kilometers with a full tank of oil, but this cottage gas station can't even run 600 kilometers with oil.

When naming fake gas stations, they will try their best to rely on the names of regular gas stations such as China Petrochemical and China Petroleum, such as Zhongwei Petroleum and China Petroleum, Zhonggu Petrochemical and China Petrochemical, Zhongyou Petrochemical and China Petrochemical, which are silly and confusing from a distance. But there's nothing I can do. I can't pump the oil out any more.

Generally, this kind of fake gas station often appears on the edge of the city or in a relatively remote area. It is easy to attract many consumers with cheap prices or small gifts. However, some consumers feel that their cars are not high-end cars, and there is no harm in adding such oil. But as we all know, most of these oils are blended, which not only damages the car, but also may cause serious explosion of the engine.

In addition, with the comprehensive promotion of 5438+ 10/ethanol gasoline in many provinces in China in June this year, many gas stations have set up ethanol refueling channels. Moreover, the price of ethanol gasoline is cheaper than ordinary gasoline, and many consumers often choose to add ethanol gasoline to save money. But many people don't know the common sense of using ethanol gasoline. It is reported that the shelf life of ethanol gasoline is 15-25? God, this also means that a full tank of oil can last up to 25 days, otherwise it will expire. In addition, ethanol gasoline is soluble, which may dissolve the sludge and rust in the fuel tank, resulting in poor oil supply in the oil circuit, so it is best for vehicles over 6 years to go to the repair shop to clean the oil circuit. Finally, when ethanol gasoline is emulsified in water, it must be waterproof to avoid water in the fuel tank.

Write it at the end

As the Spring Festival approaches, if you choose to drive home for the Spring Festival, you must read the name of the gas station clearly when refueling to prevent adding "fake oil". Especially if your hometown is in a remote rural area, you should pay more attention, because such fake gas stations are generally located in remote places. Don't ruin the car for the sake of cheapness, it will not be worth the loss. In addition, if you want to add ethanol gasoline, you must know the common sense of using ethanol gasoline to avoid unnecessary trouble.
