(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Gasoline (or Petrol) is a petroleum liquid mixture consisting primarily of hydrocarbons used as fuel in internal combustion engines. The term gasoline is primarily used in English-speaking North America to refer to such a mixture. People in other parts of the English-speaking world use the term petrol for such mixtures.
Chemical Analysis
The vast majority of hydrocarbons present in gasoline are aliphatic ones with number of carbon atoms in the range of 6,7-11,12. Typical gasoline also contains some other organic compounds - aromatic and other unsaturated hydrocarbons, organic ethers, amines and sulfoxides.
Gasoline is a more volatile fuel than diesel or kerosene. The reason for this is not only the base constituents, but the additives that are put into it.
Many of the non-aliphatic hydrocarbons naturally present in gasoline (especially aromatic ones like benzene), as well as many anti-knocking additives, are carcinogenic. Because of this, any large-scale or ongoing leaks of gasoline pose a threat to the public's health should the gasoline reach a public supply of drinking water. The chief risks of such leaks come not from vehicles, but from gasoline delivery truck accidents and leaks from underground storage tanks. Because of this risk, most underground storage tanks now have extensive measures in place to detect and prevent any such leaks.
Octane rating
is a measure of how resistant gasoline is to premature detonation (knocking). It is measured relative to a mixture of isooctane (2,5-dimethylhexane) and n-heptane. So an 87-octane petrol has the same knock resistance as a 87% isooctane/ 13% heptane mixture. Petrol is typically separated from crude oil via distillation, so the mixture of the molecules in the resulting fuel is dependent on the oil used. Romania was a supplier of "light-sweet" crude oil, which, when distilled, resulted in a petrol with an 87 rating. 87 octane was the general benchmark for much of the world, and is the current standard rating for "normal" petrol in the US and Canada.It might seem odd that fuels with higher octane ratings burn less easily, yet are generally considered more powerful. Using a fuel with a higher octane allows the engine to be run at higher compressions, and not have problems with knock. Compression is directly related to power, so engines using higher octane deliver more power, explaining the common misconception. Some high-performance engines are designed to operate at the higher compression levels associated with high octane numbers, and thus demand high-octane gasoline.
History
Lead additives
Because the mixture known as gasoline has a tendency to explode or "knock, lead additives were first blended with fuel in the 1920s, and continued through the 1980s. The most popular one was tetra-ethyl lead. However, with the recognition of the environmental damage caused by the lead, and the incompatibility of lead with catalytic converters, most countries are in the process of phasing out the sale of leaded fuel, and different additives to reduce knocking are now used. Among the most popular ones are aromatic ethers and methanol. There are also additives to reduce internal engine carbon buildups, to increase oxidation, and to allow easier starting in cold climates.
WWII and Octane Story
One interesting historical issue involving octane rating took place during WWII. Germany received the vast majority of their oil from Romania, and set up huge distilling plants in Germany to produce petrol from it. In the US the oil was not "as good" and the oil industry instead had to invest heavily in various expensive boosting systems. This turned out to be a huge blessing in disguise. US industry was soon delivering fuels of ever-increasing octane ratings by adding more of the boosting agents, with cost no longer a factor during wartime. By war's end their aviation fuel was commonly 130 to 150 octane, which could easily be put to use in existing engines to deliver much more power by increasing the compression delivered by the superchargers. The Germans, relying entirely on "good" petrol, had no such industry, and instead had to rely on ever-larger engines to deliver more power. The result is that British and US engines consistently outperformed German ones during the war, playing no small part in the defeat of the Luftwaffe.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Gasoline (or petrol) engine is a type of engine which is used for automobiles and small mobile vehicles such as lawnmowers or motorcycles. The most common engine of this type is a four stroke cycle internal combustion engine that burns gasoline (American usage) or petrol (British usage). Burning is initiated by an ignition system that fires a high voltage spark through a field-replaceable airgap called a "sparkplug."
In practice, almost all parts of the high voltage system are designed to be replaced in the field. A classic car has a set of "points," usually in the distributor housing. These open and close once for each cylinder. The points drive battery current through the primary winding of a step-up transformer, the "spark coil." The output of the spark coil is then distributed through a set of rotating mechanical contacts called the "distributor." Constant arcing in the points and distributor eventually cause them to wear, and need replacement. In more modern engines, the points or the entire distributor are often replaced by an electronic circuit. More rarely, in a few European engines, the distributor is sometimes replaced by a spark coil for each cylinder.
One crucial component in older and smaller engines is the carburetor, which mixes the gasoline with air. Carburetors are fluidic and mechanical computors that meter the fuel and mix it with the air in precise proportions. Classic carburetors measure spark advance by measuring the difference in pressure between the outside and inside of the carburetor. The degree of throttle advance is also measured. The air temperature is measured to make the measure richer in the cold, because the air is denser, and contains more oxygen per unit of volume. It would be nice to measure the engine's exhaust for carbon monoxide or unburned hydrocarbons to see how well the carburetor is working.
In more modern engines, a small electronic computer measures these parameters, and controls one or more electric injectors , which can be in the intake throat, commonly called throttle-body injection or in the individual intake runners, commonly called port fuel injection. Almost all new cars now use electronic fuel injection because it allows the engine computer to precisely regulate the fuel air mixture which increases energy efficiency and reduces pollution.
More exotic mixing, with heaters and ultrasonic mixers, is known to further improve efficiency. Most manufacturers don't bother.

Health | After sugars and starches are digested in the stomach, they enter the blood stream in the form of glucose (figure 1). The glucose in the blood stream becomes a potential source of energy for the entire body, similar to the way in which gasoline in a service station pump is a potential source of energy for your car. But, just as someone must pump the gas into the car, the body requires some assistance to get glucose from the blood stream to the muscles and other tissues of the body. In the body, that assistance comes from a hormone called insulin. (references) | |
