What is the difference between No. 0 gasoline and No. 92 gasoline?
1 Answers
No. 0 is diesel, not gasoline. Gasoline has a higher octane rating and is classified into No. 89, No. 92, and No. 95 based on the octane level. There is no No. 0 gasoline. Diesel is a light petroleum product and a complex hydrocarbon mixture, serving as fuel for diesel engines. It is mainly composed of diesel fractions produced through processes such as crude oil distillation, catalytic cracking, thermal cracking, hydrocracking, and petroleum coking. Below are the characteristics of diesel: 1. Diesel has a higher carbon content compared to gasoline: It also has a higher density, which means that the same mass of diesel will burn longer, in other words, diesel is more "fuel-efficient" than gasoline; 2. Diesel has a lower auto-ignition point: Therefore, diesel engines use compression ignition, eliminating the need for spark plugs to ignite. By compressing air to raise the temperature to the diesel's ignition point and then injecting diesel, it can combust on its own; 3. Diesel is less volatile: It offers greater power and excellent fuel economy performance.
