What fuel should I put in my rental car?

What fuel should I put in my rental car?

Choosing the right fuel for your rental car is a task that requires careful consideration and attention to detail. Making the wrong choice can lead to serious engine damage, resulting in significant financial costs. Before filling the tank of your rental car, it is crucial to ensure that you are using the correct fuel for your vehicle.

First of all, look at the sticker located on the gas cap or under it. The car manufacturer usually indicates the recommended type of fuel there. In addition, this information should be included in the rental car documents that you are required to receive. If you do not find any information on the cap or in the documentation, please contact the rental company and clarify this issue.

It should be noted that gasoline and diesel are completely different types of fuel, and mixing them is absolutely unacceptable. Refueling a diesel vehicle with gasoline can cause damage to the fuel system and result in costly repairs. Similarly, refueling a gasoline vehicle with diesel fuel can also lead to damage.

In addition, there are different octane ratings within gasoline, such as AI-92, AI-95, and AI-98. Using fuel with an octane rating lower than recommended can cause engine detonation, which can negatively impact engine performance and lifespan. On the other hand, using fuel with an octane rating higher than recommended will not cause any harm, but it will not provide a significant increase in performance.

In conclusion, approach the choice of fuel for your rented car with due attention, relying on the manufacturer’s recommendations or those of the rental company. This will help you avoid unpleasant situations and financial losses during your rental period.
