Is Fuel the Same as Gasoline?
1 Answers
Fuel is not the same as gasoline; fuel includes gasoline. The following are the specific differences between fuel and gasoline: 1. In terms of composition: Fuel is mainly made from cracked residue oil and straight-run residue oil from petroleum. Gasoline is produced by refining various gasoline components obtained from petroleum refining, such as straight-run gasoline components, catalytic cracked gasoline components, and catalytic reformed gasoline components, and then blending them with high-octane components. 2. In terms of application: Fuel is mainly used for fuel power generation, heating units, and as ignition, combustion-supporting, and stabilizing oil for coal-fired units. Gasoline products can be divided into three categories based on their use: aviation gasoline, automotive gasoline, and solvent gasoline.
