How to Check if a Gas Station Has 98 Octane Gasoline?
1 Answers
Gas stations have 98 octane gasoline, but not every gas station carries it. You can use the Sinopec app to check the types of gasoline sold at each affiliated gas station. If it is listed, it means the station offers that service. Below is an introduction to gasoline characteristics: Anti-knock Property: The property that measures whether a fuel is prone to knocking is called anti-knock property. The anti-knock property of gasoline is indicated by the octane number (RON). The higher the octane number of gasoline, the better its anti-knock property. Cleanliness: Gasoline often contains mechanical impurities and water. Mechanical impurities can cause severe consequences such as clogging of fuel lines and increased wear. Water mixed into gasoline can accelerate oxidation and react with low-molecular-weight organic acids in gasoline to form acidic aqueous solutions that corrode metals. At low temperatures, water can freeze and form ice particles that clog fuel lines. Therefore, the presence of mechanical impurities and water in automotive gasoline should be strictly controlled.
