Isimplify lang naku ha aku Automotive School days bahin aning OCTANE kay murag na misunderstood gyud....
HIGHER octane rating "HIGHER PERCENTAGE MAYBE BAD" sa atong underbone or scooter.... WHY?
-first sabton sa nato ang high octane FUELS..
kung taas ang octane fuel (97, 100, or up), taas nga compression iya maabot before mu boto ang gasolina sulod sa makina. the higher the compression rating sa fuel, the better it can withstand compression before ignition..
-second sabton nato ato makina sa ato motor.. kanang mga class sa underbone and scooter like vega, wave, shogun, mio, beat etc... are manufactured with less than 10.1:1 compression ratio which is NOT a high compression ratio engine.. aku na hibal.an ni lapas beyond 10.1:1 na ratio kay ang raider 150 which has a 10.2:1.... so barerly ra ni lapas gamay kaayo...
"mao kanang ato mga 100cc - 125cc mga motor walay tarong minor bisan unsaon ug timpla sa carburetor basta BLAZE ang gasolina kay dili kasunog tarong sa high octane fuel labin na at low idle. At low idle, engine can loose a little bit of compression so imu 10.1 mu ubos around 9:1 or even lower mao cge kapalong.. mao lang mu andar ang motor kung cge kumot sa gasolinador kay at high rpm it can obtain its maximum desired compression ratio... 10.1:1 which is not even considered as high compression engine or high performance.."
unless ato motor has a high compression ratio which is beyond 10.1:1 then ato engine sa motor cannot burn ug tarong sa mga fuel which has high octane rating (97 VPOWER racing, 100 blaze )... that means cannot produce its highest performance... ma usik ra ang gasolina ug underpower pa imu motor....
conclusion, its a bad idea to put blaze sa imu motor UNLESS imu motor mga CBR or R1 kanang mga ninja..
AYAW PADALA ANI>> hihger octane means high performance sa imu motor...... NO! it only works on high performance engines or engines built purposely for racing ... atong mga makina pang commute ra ni intawon..
