Can 98 and 95 gasoline be mixed together?
1 Answers
98 and 95 gasoline cannot be mixed together, as mixing gasoline can cause engine knocking. 98 gasoline is composed of 98% isooctane and 2% n-heptane, while 95 gasoline is composed of 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. The anti-knock property refers to the ability of gasoline to resist knocking combustion under various usage conditions. The difference between 98 and 95 mainly lies in the purity of isooctane. The higher the purity of isooctane, the stronger the anti-knock property of the gasoline. Gasoline is a volatile and flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid obtained from the fractional distillation, cracking, or pyrolysis of petroleum, and it can be used as fuel.
