Gasoline has an ignition temperature ranging from 415 to 530 degrees Celsius. Here are some related details about gasoline: Definition: Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid derived from petroleum through fractionation and cracking, primarily used as fuel. It appears as a transparent liquid, is combustible, and has a distillation range between 3 and 22 degrees Celsius. Its main components include C5 to C12 aliphatic hydrocarbons and cycloalkanes, along with a certain amount of aromatic hydrocarbons. Grades: Gasoline has a high octane number (anti-knock combustion performance) and is classified into different grades based on octane ratings, such as 89, 90, 92, 93, 95, 97, and 98. Starting from January 2012, the gasoline grades 90, 93, and 97 were revised to 89, 92, and 95 respectively.
