A highly volatile mixture of fluid hydrocarbons, obtained mostly from petroleum, as also by the distillation of bituminous coal. It is used as a fuel for most automobiles and for many other vehicles with internal combustion engines. The gasoline of commerce is typically blended with additives to improve its performance in internal combustion engines. Gasoline was also used in the early 1900's in making air gas, and in giving illuminating power to water gas. See Carburetor.
A complex mixture of relatively volatile hydrocarbons, with or without small quantities of additives that have been blended to produce a fuel suitable for use in spark ignition engines. Motor gasoline includes both leaded or unleaded grades of finished motor gasoline, blending components, and gasohol. Leaded gasoline is no longer used in highway motor vehicles in the United States.
A volatile, flammable, liquid mixture of hydrocarbons, obtained from petroleum, and used as fuel for internal-combustion engines.
A liquid blend of hydrocarbons used as automotive fuel and processed from crude oil.
A volatile, flammable liquid obtained from petroleum that has a boiling range of approximately 29-216 degrees Celsius and is used for fuel for sparkignition internal combustion engines.
petroleum fuel, used to power cars, trucks, lawn mowers, etc.
A volatile, inflammable, liquid hydrocarbon mixture.
A refined petroleum product suitable for use as a fuel in internal combustion engines.
Volatile fuel formed by distilling crude petroleum, oil or coal-based natural products.
Also called gas or petrol, gasoline is a mixture of volatile, flammable liquid hydrocarbons derived from petroleum, with or without small quantities of additives, and used as motor fuel. It is also used as a solvent for oils and fats.
The UK name is Petrol. A highly inflammable liquid that is used to produce power for a lawn mower.
Hydrocarbon mix that distillates between 301/4 C and 1501/4 C. It is the most volatile part of crude oil. Used in Otto cycle engines, such as a Formula One engine
the light fuel used to spark ignition engines in cars, motorcycles, etc. Modern gasolines are blends of petroleum liquids that are produced in several different processes and which generally contain additives.
A mixture more than 200 volatile hydrocarbons in the range of C4 to C12 , suitable for use in spark ignited internal combustion engine. Regular automotive gasoline has a flash point of -40°F.
a volatile flammable mixture of hydrocarbons (hexane and heptane and octane etc.) derived from petroleum; used mainly as a fuel in internal-combustion engines
Mixture of lighter liquid hydrocarbons used chiefly as a fuel for internal-combustion engines. Produced by fractional distillation of petroleum; by condensation or adsorption from natural gas; by thermal or catalytic decomposition of petroleum or its fractions; by hydrogenation of producer gas or coal; or by polymerisation of hydrocarbons of lower molecular weight.
A volatile mixture of liquid hydrocarbons, containing small amounts of additives and suitable for use as a fuel in spark-ignition, internal-combustion engines.
a light-end hydrocarbon distillate used for internal combustion engines, actively traded as futures and options contracts on Nymex. Also known as petrol.
the term used in the oil industry to refer to petrol.
A light liquid petroleum product with a boiling range of 30-200 ºC which is typically used as a fuel for internal combustion engines.
Fresh, unleaded, regular grade gasoline of minimum 85 octane must be used, for obtaining full rated engine horsepower.
Any liquid offered for sale, sold or used as the fuel for a gasoline-powered engine, but does not include diesel fuel or liquefied gas. Methanol racing fuel would be considered gasoline.
A complex mixture of relatively volatile hydrocarbons, with or without small quantities of additives, which have been blended to form a fuel suitable for use in spark–ignition engines. Motor gasoline, as defined in ASTM Specification D 4814 or Federal Specification VV–G–1690C, is characterized as having a boiling range of 122 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit at the 10 percent recovery point to 365 to 374 degrees Fahrenheit at the 90 percent recovery point. Motor gasoline includes conventional gasoline; all types of oxygenated gasoline, including gasohol; and reformulated gasoline, but excludes aviation gasoline. Note: Volumetric data on blending components, such as oxygenates, are not counted in data on finished motor gasoline until the blending components are blended into the gasoline.
Contains more than 0.05 grams of lead per gallon or more than 0.005 grams of phosphorus per gallon. The actual lead content of any given gallon may vary. Premium and regular grades are included, depending on the octane rating. Includes leaded gasohol. Blendstock is excluded until blending has been completed. Alcohol that is to be used in the blending of gasohol is also excluded.
A refined form of petroleum used for fueling automobiles with internal-combustion engines.
A liquid fuel composed of a mixture of small, light hydrocarbons and produced by refining crude oil. Gasoline is mainly used by automobiles, trucks, and other motor vehicles.
A hydrocarbon fuel for use in internal combustion engines.
hydrocarbon fuel used in the internal combustion engine. Also see ethyl gasoline, oxygenated gasolines, and reformulated gasolines.
A complex mixture of relatively volatile hydrocarbons, with or without small quantities of additives suitable for use in spark-ignition engines. Motor gasoline includes both leaded and unleaded grades of finished motor gasoline, blending components and gasohol, which is motor gasoline blended with up to 10 percent ethanol or methane. (DOE)
A light distillate product that is usually produced through the reforming of naphtha, cracking of heavier products, and blending. It is the goal of most secondary refinery upgrading technologies. Used for internal combustion engines.
Gasoline or petrol is a petroleum-derived liquid mixture consisting mostly of hydrocarbons and enhanced with benzene or iso-octane to increase octane ratings, used as fuel in internal combustion engines.
