Nursing Motorcycle Engine - Fuel Oplosan Rust Caused

Many users of motorcycles expected, could use his favorite mounts in the long term. But to maintain hope it can continue to be realized, of course, many things to consider. In addition to regular maintenance, quality fuel oil consumption is also very affecting.


The survival of motorcycles of course not separated from regular maintenance performed by the owner of the vehicle itself. Good for business machines or kitchen runway, and at the other active supporters like the legs of the motorcycle tires, brakes, suspension, electrical parts which depend on the battery, up to the smallest affairs of others on motorcycles. But most important of course noticed the engine maintenance.

Well, if for periodic servicing problems has been running regularly, you as the owner of the motorcycle would have to pay attention as other supporting facilities that are not less important, namely the fuel used for motorcycles.

The quality of fuel used would be greatly affects the condition of the engine on a motorcycle. In fact, the use of fuels that are not appropriate at times even making machine breaks or rapid wear. Worse yet, the quality of fuel was also able to cause rust that will gather in your motorcycle carburetor.

It is not denied Rustam, Information assistant Sumbagut Pertamina. But according to him, the quality of fuel is usually not pure anymore, aka oplosan.

He even said it was possible the various parties conducting the distillation of gasoline and other fuels such as diesel and other fuels. "Even I've heard there are mixed with camphor, he let the more qualified, I just do not recommend it," said Rustam.

For that he suggested if any party or people who find ways like that, or mixing with other materials so that BMM otherwise qualified immediately reported to Pertamina. "People who find the oil is not of very or mixing with other materials are reported only to Pertamina," he said.

He said Pertamina BMM channeled into the community through the depot to do double-check to the gas station several times and conducted surveillance. So far, we pipe the fuel according to the pump, according to government standards, so if there is a mixture please report, "he said.

Technical Team PT Indako Trading, Armayadie, also agree with Rusty. According to him, low-quality fuel that will cause damage to the engine performance. Even so, Armayadie believes, resulting in corrosion of fuel is usually originated from gasoline oplosan. "If we consider, used motorcycle community in carrying out daily activities will show a low engine speed, medium, and heavy. Each time the engine on the move, then the fuel oil or gasoline will be mixed with air, is the task of the carburetor, "said a technical team of PT Indako Armayadie to the Global Trading, yesterday.

He explains, you should not buy fuel oplosan, and buy fuel at official stations. If you buy fuel normally has fallen oplosan oktannya value because it has been mixed with other element (usually kerosene). If the octane rating has fallen resulting in the burning was not perfect and leave the crust in the cylinder head from the engine. If the crust has formed, it will cause decreased performance motorcycle engine. If used continuously usually the machine will tickle and vibrate.

He said that the proper mixture of fuel to air ratio is 1: 15, if the comparison is not balanced there will be a mixture that is not ideal. As a result of fuel in the engine does not burn out which would cause black smoke. It certainly will make the pistons, valves, squish and the area will experience a disruption in the machine.

He further said that burning fuel will cause carbon stack effect, resulting in changes in the machine so as not to effectively generate power. Reduced traction power of this machine, will cause the pull of heavy machinery, use of fuel-intensive, denotation, the effects of science and exhaust gas emission increases, giving rise to air pollution.

"The final value, good quality fuel will not contain rust carbon in the combustion chamber, so any fuel that is used karatersitik sepedam has its own motor for motorcycle engines, he explained.

For engine maintenance, he said further, the periodic replacement of engine oil twice a month for the vehicle that has traveled a distance of 2500-3000 km or motorcycle which is only used for everyday needs with a close distance. If oil is not replaced will make the components in the engine wear out faster.

Furthermore, said Armayadie, when the motorcycle do starting early warning should be made up, thus giving the opportunity to wet the walls of the engine lubricant, and the habit of using motorcycles to be adjusted between the speed with porsneling. For example, when a red light a forgotten pengendera porseneling restore, and when the green light pull of the weight due to use porsneling 4


He mentioned, in general, any damage will certainly there are signs first. To anticipate the note if there are symptoms of abnormal / not as usual on a motorcycle. Such an attitude will help and make it easier to detect early damage.

"If motorcycles have symptoms of damage in a row and more than one because it is the best way is to check the parts that first convenient one by one and then to other parts. Motorcycle users can take it to the official workshop with full details of his mechanics so it is easy to fix, "he concluded.
