What type of fuel should be used for the Mercedes-Benz GL550?
1 Answers
Mercedes-Benz GL550 requires 98-octane fuel, which is superior to 97-octane. The specification of 97-octane gasoline means that at least 97-octane or higher should be used. The introduction and function of gasoline are as follows: Introduction to gasoline: Gasoline, known as Gasoline (US) / Petrol (UK), is a transparent, flammable liquid with a distillation range of 30 to 220 degrees. Its main components are C5-C12 aliphatic hydrocarbons and cycloalkanes, along with a certain amount of aromatic hydrocarbons. Gasoline has a high octane number (anti-knock combustion performance) and is classified into different grades such as 90, 93, 95, and 97 based on octane ratings. Function of gasoline: Gasoline is produced by refining various gasoline components obtained from petroleum refining, including straight-run gasoline components, catalytic cracking gasoline components, and catalytic reforming gasoline components, which are then blended with high-octane components. It is primarily used as fuel for spark-ignition internal combustion engines in automobiles.
