What is the harm of high silicon content in diesel oil?

1. Damage to engine: Silicon in diesel oil will form silicates during combustion, which will deposit inside the engine, leading to engine wear and damage.

2. Reduce fuel efficiency: The deposition of silicate will also cause the nozzle to be blocked, thus reducing fuel injection efficiency, leading to an increase in fuel consumption, and the mileage of vehicles will also be affected.

3. Increase the maintenance cost: the deposition of silicate will also lead to an increase in the failure rate of the engine, requiring more frequent maintenance and replacement of parts, which will increase the maintenance cost of the owner.

4. Pollution of the environment: The deposition of silicate will also lead to the increase of particulate matter in waste gas emissions, resulting in environmental pollution.
