The essential elements of gasoline are carbon and hydrogen. When gasoline is burned in an engine, carbon combines with atmospheric oxygen to form carbon dioxide (chemical formula CO2), and hydrogen combines with oxygen to form water (H2O). From 1 liter of gasoline, 0.9 liters of water is obtained, which you usually do not see, because. due to the heat of combustion, it exits in an invisible cloud through the exhaust system. Only when the engine is cold, usually during the cold season, can you see a white cloud of water condensate exhaust.
These combustion products are formed when air and fuel are mixed in the optimum proportion (14,7:1). Unfortunately, this almost never happens. Therefore, harmful substances are also formed.
