What octane do you need for a Hyundai tiburon?
Any. Tiburon engines do not require high-octane gasoline, although it never hurts.
What cars use octane 95?
Very high compression race engines.
What happens if you use high octane fuel in a high compression engine?
It runs. High octane is what is required by high compression engines in order to prevent pinging. Unless you put the hi octane fuel in the oil filler. Then it will only briefly run before it explodes.
Can you run high octaine fuel?
It depends on the type of engine and how high of octane you are running. Octane slows the burning of fuel, so if it is too high of octane for the engine, you will end up burning out your exhaust valves because burning fuel is being pushed out of them. 92 or 93 octane that is available at fuel pumps as "premium" fuel is ok for most engines. I wouldn't run anything over about 100 octane.
Does higher octane produce higher co?
Higher octane is helpful for high compression engines. High compression causes the combustion to take place faster and can cause pinging and a loss of power. By using high octane with high compression you get the advantage of the extra efficiency of the high compression engine and the delivery of the combustion across the power stroke of the piston, with out pinging.
What is the purpose of Octane ratings?
Octane is used to reduce pre detonation in high compression engines. The rating tells the driver which fuel to purchase and use in their vehicle as recommended by the manufacture of the vehicle.
Is high octane gasoline better?
Higher octane fuels are used for most luxury cars that run hotter to get more out of the engine. It is also used for older vehicles that cannot handle the gunk from lower octane fuels.Added: The "experts" say that it is a waste of money to use high-octane premium fuel in those engines whose manufacturers do not call for it.
Explain why gas oil is cracked to produce gasoline?
To produce a higher octane fuel. A fuel that will power high efficiency engines.
What fuel does an airplane engine use?
Gas turbines use jet fuel and reciprocating engines use high-octane gasoline.
Will 87 octane gas hurt a 2011 Mercedes glk 350?
For one tank of gas, probably not. However, over the long term the engine may wear more quickly. High compression engines are designed for high octane gas.
Can you use 100 octane airplane fuel in your motorcycles or cars?
You sure can. Octane is just an anti-knock rating. Higher compression engines require high Octane fuel to keep from knocking or pinging. This is perfect for high performance engines such as race cars and motorcycles. However in your daily driver it will not do anything but put a strain on your wallet. High Octane does not create more horse power but rather lets you tune your vehicle for more power output by being able to up the compression ratio. So to answer the question, can you use it? Yes. It just won't do anything.
Why do high-performance cars generally need high octane gas?
they have different engines and different needs of combustion to make the engine run smooth low grade fuel has a lower combustion level but high octane fuels have a greater combustion ratio which helps the car perform like it should
