Can 95 Octane Gasoline Be Added to a 92 Octane Fuel Tank?
1 Answers
It is possible to add 92 octane gasoline to a tank that already contains 95 octane gasoline, as different grades of gasoline do not undergo chemical reactions with each other. Gasolines with different octane ratings have varying levels of octane values, with higher-octane gasoline having higher octane values. Gasoline with higher octane values exhibits greater stability. Below is an introduction to gasoline: 1. Introduction: The English name for gasoline is 'gasoline' or 'gas' (American English), also referred to as 'petrol' (British English). It is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid derived from the fractional distillation or cracking of petroleum. 2. Properties: The octane rating of gasoline is used to measure the anti-knock properties of a specific gasoline mixture (which can cause knocking and reduce the efficiency of reciprocating engines). Gasoline is produced in several grades based on its octane rating. Other chemicals are often added to gasoline to enhance chemical stability and other performance characteristics, control corrosiveness, and maintain the cleanliness of the fuel system. 3. Density: The specific gravity of gasoline ranges from 0.71 to 0.77, with higher densities indicating larger volumes of aromatic hydrocarbons. The standard reference for marketable gasoline (in Europe) is 0.755 kg/L.
