Unleaded in Diesel in Hertfordshire

Regular un-leaded is the type of gas which is used mostly around the world .It is the product of crude oil and high octane. Crude oil is highly flammable. Premium gas is referred to high octane because it has high octane rating. It is un-leaded with detergent. Octane rating is the main reason of improper combustion, normal engine works with air and fuel mixture which is then ignited by ignition chamber. When the ignition occurs before it should then it is called as pre ignition which is termed as “knocking. This can reduce engine performance and also can damage some parts. That is why octane rating is important to check the knocking so it will not damage the engine. Putting unleaded in diesel damages the engine because of the high number of octane it start to erodes the engine and damages the injectors and fuel pump. Diesel engine have enough lubricity in its own to lubricate its fuel pump and in injectors.
