Fuel and Engines

We commonly relate fuel and engines with gasoline. Other engines also run on natural gas such as propane and “bio-fuels” such as ethanol. The principle remains the same as the fuel induces internal combustion.

Is it alright to use unleaded plus instead of regular gasoline?

Read your cars owners manual. Most vehicles only require regular gas. Those cars normally do not need a higher grade unless you hear a lot of pinging in the engine. Using a higher grade fuel will not hurt the vehicle in most cases, it will just cost you more out of pocket. Some auto makers do include a warning about ethanol and the maximum % you can use so read your manual.

What damage could result from ethanol in a gasoline engine?

Ethanol can cause damage to engine parts. It can also lead to damage with seals that protect your motor because it eats away at rubber.

Why would your car smoke out of the tailpipe when you press the gas?

Could be what's called "Blow-by". Your pistons have Rings & Seals on them and when they get old and worn with lots of miles put on the engine, they allow a little bit of oil to escape past the piston and into the chamber which is immediatly burned. This results in the smoke coming out of the tailpipe. Only way to fix it is to have the engine rebuilt or replaced. or a good lub. might help. try lucas. also u might need a head gasket, agood way to check is if ur oil is creamy (which means oil and anti-freeze is mixing)or if the exess smoke is blue.

Why does the engine in your F150 take so long to heat up?

The F150 V8 engines (in general) tend to warm fairly quickly when operating normally. From right cold to full operating temp in about ten minutes city driving on really cold winter days.

If your Engine does not match this by a large margin then I am going to predict that thermostat is worn or weak and needs replacing.

Open and read your owner's manual. If it has one, it will tell you. Depends on the make and model of car. Many have the switch in the trunk on one side or the other. Ford products are the only ones I am familiar with that have them. Typically on the driver's side in the trunk.
