Recognize The Causes Of Detonation In Cars

JAKARTA - Cars with internal combustion engines must of course be considered carefully by the driver, this is done so that the engine's performance can be optimal and functioning properly.

Otherwise, the engine could experience various problems, such as detonation. Detonation is the symptoms caused by imperfect combustion in the engine's fuel space.

Detonation can be caused by several things, such as improper fuel settings, excessive engine temperature increases, or low-quality use of fuel.

This can lead to something bad on the engine, for example strange sounds on the car. Detonation symptoms are commonly referred to as "Kenocking" or "Ngelithic".

However, the result of the detonation is not only the one mentioned above. Reporting from the Auto2000 page, Thursday, May 4, these are some of the dangers caused by the detonation:

1. Damage to internal components

Due to irregular combustion, detonation can cause damage to the engine's internal components, such as cylindrical walls, pistons, and kruk as.

Imperfect burning can produce very high pressures and temperatures that can damage some components. Of course, repairs will take a lot of time and cost.

The imperfect combustion process will reduce engine performance. With reduced performance, it can endanger the driver.

If the car engine becomes detonationd, the driver will feel slow acceleration of the car and late response to the gas pedal.

When detonation occurs, some of the fuels that have been burned do not produce the energy they should, but will only be wasted on fire. As a result, fuel consumption becomes wasteful in reducing the distance per liter of fuel in the car.

To avoid the problem of detonation, car owners can serve regularly to official workshops, use high-quality fuel, and maintain engine temperature and fuel space pressure within recommended time.
