Gasoline will evaporate if stored in the fuel tank for a long time. Gasoline is a volatile and flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid obtained from petroleum through fractionation, cracking, or pyrolysis. It can be used as fuel and has a high octane rating. Based on the octane rating, gasoline is classified into: 89, 90, 92, 93, 95, 97, and 98. The higher the octane number, the stronger the anti-knock performance of the gasoline. Sulfur compounds in gasoline can cause corrosion to objects, and it has the ability to resist oxidation under normal temperature and liquid phase conditions. In the engine cylinder, it rapidly vaporizes and forms a uniform combustible mixture with air.
