What is 95 gasoline?
1 Answers
95 gasoline refers to a fuel composed of 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. High-compression engines require gasoline with a high octane rating. Using low-octane gasoline in high-compression engines can lead to abnormal combustion, resulting in knocking, increased fuel consumption, and reduced driving power. Below is relevant information: Gasoline: Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid derived from petroleum through distillation and cracking processes, used as fuel. It appears as a transparent liquid, is flammable, and has a distillation range of 30°C to 220°C. Its main components are C₅ to C12 aliphatic hydrocarbons and naphthenes. Primary uses: Gasoline is one of the most widely used light petroleum products and serves as a crucial fuel for engines. Based on the manufacturing process, gasoline components can be categorized into straight-run gasoline, thermal cracking gasoline (coking gasoline), catalytic cracking gasoline, catalytic reforming gasoline, polymer gasoline, hydrocracking gasoline, alkylation gasoline, and synthetic gasoline.
