← TechnologyWhich risk increases when uncombusted fuel enters an engine's exhaust stream?
A)Catalytic converter thermal runaway✓
B)Increased crankshaft bearing friction
C)Premature piston ring wear
D)Reduced fuel pump efficiency
💡 Explanation
The risk increases because uncombusted fuel reaching the catalytic converter undergoes rapid oxidation via catalytic action, resulting in excessive heat. This positive feedback causes thermal runaway, rather than bearing friction, because crankshaft issues relate more to lubrication failures rather than fuel in the exhaust.
