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.
what is the compression ratio and recommended gas octane? try a higher octane fuel and see what happens, mileage may go up also.
Check your owners manual for fuel recommendations. Unless the engine has a high compression ratio, it will not benefit from higher octane fuel.
There's no benefit unless you need the Octane. If you have a lot of compression in your engine or is detonation prone, than you can curb it with more octane.
For a compression ratio of 10.5:1, the recommended octane rating is typically around 91-93 octane. Higher compression ratios require higher octane fuel to prevent knocking or pre-ignition in the engine. It is important to use the correct octane rating to ensure optimal performance and to avoid engine damage.
High octane fuel has a higher resistance to pre-ignition and knocking because it can withstand higher compression ratios and temperatures without igniting prematurely. This is because high octane fuel has a higher octane rating, indicating its ability to resist knocking under higher pressure conditions in the engine.
High octane fuel can improve engine efficiency in high-performance or high-compression engines designed to take advantage of its properties. It reduces the likelihood of knocking, allowing the engine to run at higher compression ratios, which can lead to better performance and fuel efficiency. However, in engines designed for regular fuel, using high octane fuel may not provide any significant benefits and can be an unnecessary expense. Ultimately, the effect on efficiency depends on the engine's design and specifications.
Congratulations you have just added to the Misinformation Superhighway. Stock specs for Hondas is about 10:1 COMPRESSION The octane rating of gasoline tells you how much the fuel can be compressed before it spontaneously ignites. When gas ignites by compression rather than because of the spark from the spark plug, it causes knocking in the engine. Knocking can damage an engine, so it is not something you want to have happening. Lower-octane gas (like "regular" 87-octane gasoline) can handle the least amount of compression before igniting. The compression ratio of your engine determines the octane rating of the gas you must use in the car. One way to increase the horsepower of an engine of a given displacement is to increase its compression ratio. So a "high-performance engine" has a higher compression ratio and requires higher-octane fuel. The advantage of a high compression ratio is that it gives your engine a higher horsepower rating for a given engine weight -- that is what makes the engine "high performance." The disadvantage is that the gasoline for your engine costs more
No, a fuel tester is not suitable for measuring compression. A fuel tester is designed to check the quality of fuel, such as its octane rating or water content. To measure compression, you need a compression tester, which specifically gauges the pressure in the engine's cylinders during a compression stroke. Using the correct tool is essential for accurate diagnostics.
The octane number is a measure of performance of a fuel. It is measured relative to pure isooctane which is given an arbitrary value of 100. It is possible for fuels to have an octane number higher than 100. The higher the octane number the more compression it takes for the fuel to detonate. Higher octane fuel is used usually in high performance vehicles where the engines have higher compression ratios. If the octane number of a fuel isn't high enough it can lead to engine knocking this is where the fuel detonates before the fuel is at its maximum compressive state in the engine, this can cause damage and lower performance.
Plus (89 or 91 octane) will nor harm the engine or fuel system on an engine thats call for 87 octane.Plus (89 or 91 octane) will nor harm the engine or fuel system on an engine thats call for 87 octane.
The amount of resistance that a fuel has to detonation. The higher the number, the less likely it is that a particular fuel will detonate in a particular engine. The number is as compared to a standard fuel (not necessarily gasoline)
Yes, the higher the compression ratio, the more octane the fuel has to be. Anything over 10.0:1 has to be 91 or higher. However, if performance is not an issue, than you can use any type of fuel you want, but car will not accelerate fast and its torque curve will be very bad. Using low octane fuel in a high compression engine will also cause knocking (pinging, pinking). This will cause damage if continued.
