Gasoline is primarily used in the engines of fuel-powered vehicles and other types of vehicles. Gasoline is a transparent liquid, mainly composed of various hydrocarbons from C4 to C10. Based on the octane number in gasoline, it can be roughly classified into 92, 95, 97, and 98 grades. Gasoline is produced by refining different gasoline components obtained from petroleum refining, such as straight-run gasoline components, catalytic cracking gasoline components, and catalytic reforming gasoline components, and then blending them with high-octane components. It is mainly used as fuel for spark-ignition internal combustion engines in vehicles. At room temperature, gasoline is a colorless to light-yellow, easily flowing liquid that is difficult to dissolve in water and is highly flammable.
