Thought you studied Metallurgy.

MsDelilah:


Petrol is a solvent. It has a way of removing protective oils from parts. Diesel doesn't.

Besides, if anything goes wrong, petrol burns faster than diesel.

Chai..... you are very intelligent. I'd do anything to date an intelligent lady. Team brains over beauty. But your moniker though! lol

Thank you.

Biko free the moniker o, it's just a name.

MsDelilah:
The engine compartment is not designed for a lot of water – you could be getting water into areas where it shouldn’t be and it can cause corrosion. Water could get into the alternator or the engine sensors, causing damage. It can also push dirt onto belts, thereby causing squeaks. If you’re really unfortunate, water could get into your engine through the induction system, from around the air cleaner. It’s unlikely, but you could force water into the cylinders and cause huge damage. Anything that gets wet should be dried, ideally with compressed air, and then by running the engine until everything dries out.

But to answer your question, washing the engine depends on if the engine itself is cold, warm or hot. Using warm or cool water on a hot engine could cool things too fast, stressing the metal and, potentially, causing cracks. So I'd advise you use lukewarm soapy water to wash your engine.

My dad taught me to use either petrol or diesel to wash my engine, though I prefer using diesel.

Why don't you help out instead of talking thrash. If you can't help out then stfu.

I better drive a dirty engine than to have it washed whether hot or cold water.

fewj:
Don't know so much but I see car engines being washed with a steam wash, any disadvantage?

This explanation shows that this moniker is definitely not that of lady.

What a shallow way of reasoning. Because I may know a few things about cars, you've automatically assumed I'm a guy. Good luck with your mentality.

This is 2017. I won't take comments personally, especially when they're made by people that have no idea who I am.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

I didn't mean to insult you or doubt your personality. All I meant: rare ladies can do what you did in that explanation.

What you've just explained is extremely different from what you posted, but it's alright. I'm quite used to getting those.

My dad usually says I should come back as a guy in my next life. Lol!

I love cars, I've had the interest since I was little - from the interior, to the exterior, to the engine. I've always tried to pay close attention and ask questions when Kazeem mechanics are working on my parents' cars. I'm still learning. We never stop learning.

MsDelilah:


Lol. Shuo! Why?

lonelydora:


I learnt my lessons back in he days when I was using Mercedes-Benz. Drove into a car wash, as a big boy ordered them to wash everything washable. After the whole thing, car refused to crank, and that was the beginning of the car's problem until I sold it off as scrap.

Chai!!! If na me, I will beat that boy's destiny.

Thanks for the suggestion but I'll have to decline.

Says the asshat that thinks cleaning an engine bay with any flammable material makes any lick of sense. No wonder your cars smell like shyte and burns like dry grass.

Bovine!

Hey wait, it rhymes with your username

PS: It's not my job to educate some of you dolts, it's not by force. I chose what threads and at what level of participation. If it bothers you then go and die or find an appendage to lick.
