In that case , probably convection of exhaust heat can be a cause rather than adulterated fuel.

I didnt say the buring takes place in the cat , what i meant was the unburnt particles might be blocked inside the cat and when the vehicle is in operation the cat gets hotter because the unburnt particles will also start burning in the cat.

I tried testing my car with kerosene and also with diesel mixed petrol . I was on the verge of burning my car .
