Gasoline


Gasoline is a high grade fuel encountered in early petroleum processing.

Production

Gasoline is produced by the chemical plant with Naphtha:

Naphtha
1,000mB
Gasoline
800mB

Uses

Its only use is being a fuel, besides being able to be leaded.

Fuel

It is combustible, providing 1.51 MHE per bucket.

It is also flammable, providing 605 kTU per bucket.

Since it is a high grade fuel, gasoline can be burned at 100% efficiency with an industrial combustion engine with either a desh or starmetal piston set.

Leaded Gasoline

Gasoline with added tetraethyllead, which raises the octane value, allowing for higher compression ratios, improving performance and efficiency.

Production

Produced with tetraethyllead and regular gasoline, in the Chemical Plant, or in the Industrial Mixer:

Gasoline
10,000mB
Tetraethyllead Antiknock Agent
Leaded Gasoline
12,000mB

Leaded Gasoline
12,000mB

Fuel

It is combustible, providing 2.26 MHE per bucket.

It is flammable, providing 907 kTU per bucket.

It is a high grade fuel, just like gasoline.
