Gasoline
Gasoline, also known as petrol, is a transparent petroleum-derived liquid that is highly flammable. It is used primarily as a fuel in internal combustion engines to power vehicles such as cars, motorcycles, trucks, boats, and small engines. Gasoline is composed of organic compounds that are combinations of hydrocarbons, with a typical mixture containing 75% saturated hydrocarbons and 25% aromatics. It has a high energy density, making it a practical fuel for transportation.
Composition:
- Gasoline is primarily composed of organic compounds called hydrocarbons that are mixtures of alkanes (straight or branched) such as octane, and aromatic compounds such as benzene.
- It also contains additives like methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), ethanol, or other oxygenates to reduce the formation of smog.
- Typical gasoline contains over 100 different chemical compounds.
Grades:
- Regular or unleaded gasoline is the most common type, with an octane rating of 87-90.
- Midgrade has an octane rating of 89-93.
- Premium or super unleaded has the highest octane rating of 91-94 to allow for higher compression ratios for more efficient combustion.
Specifications:
- Specific properties are tightly controlled including octane rating, vapor pressure, sulfur and metal content, purity, and combustion properties.
- Sold in Afghanistan according to Cobas specification – equivalent to European standards for better engine performance.
Uses:
- Gasoline is primarily used as fuel for internal combustion engines in vehicles including cars, motorcycles, boats, small engines, generators, etc.
- Also used as a solvent, in dry cleaning and paint thinners due to its low cost and volatility.
Packaging:
- We transport gasoline via tanker trucks, distributing to fuel stations across the country in bulk.
- Sold at pumps in liters for consumer vehicles.
