← TechnologyWhat outcome results when fuel is sprayed onto hot intake valves after engine shutdown?
A)Fuel vaporization and auto-ignition✓
B)Reduced compression chamber pressure
C)Elimination of intake valve deposits
D)Optimized cylinder cooling efficiency
💡 Explanation
Fuel vaporization and unplanned auto-ignition often result due to heat transfer, a *thermal runaway*. This occurs because fuel sprayed post-shutdown lacks airflow, therefore residual heat in the intake valves continues to vaporize fuel, rather than allowing the heat to dissipate.
