As we know, any internal combustion engine needs a certain amount of oxygen and fuel to run. In simple words, any modern car cannot move without gasoline or diesel fuel. It would seem that there is something interesting in such a substance as gasoline? But today you will learn all those interesting facts that were previously unknown to you. So, 95 gasoline - what is special about this liquid?

The process of obtaining fuel from oil

Like diesel, this substance originates in an oil refinery. You can see one of these powerful enterprises in the photo below.

Here, high-octane gasoline, as well as other types of fuel, are obtained from ordinary oil. The gasoline itself is formed during the selection of oil fractions, which are boiled away at high temperatures (about 100-300 degrees Celsius). Fuel of the first grade is obtained at 100 degrees Celsius. Gasoline of the second grade - at 110-130 degrees. And already at a temperature of 265 degrees and above, kerosene is obtained.

In small quantities 95 gasoline is obtained by processing oil shale and coal. In some cases, natural gases and other raw materials fromhydrocarbon. Also, in the CIS, the technology of selecting fuel fractions using coked tars with the use of additional purification is often practiced.

Scope in various fields

As we said earlier, the main application of this fluid is piston internal combustion engines. In addition, there are automobile and aviation gasoline. The latter is characterized by a high quality index and special performance properties. Modern jet fuel must comply with a number of approved requirements that ensure reliable and well-coordinated operation of internal combustion engines. At the same time, aviation gasoline must have good volatility. This characteristic makes it possible to obtain a high-quality and homogeneous fuel-air mixture at any temperature and operating mode. The combustion process itself must occur without detonations, and in all modes of operation. During long-term storage, jet fuel does not change its composition and does not adversely affect the tanks in which it is contained, and the parts of the fuel system itself.

Automotive 95 gasoline and AI-92 (as an alternative)

Now in more detail about car fuel. Many drivers, especially owners of foreign cars, often puzzle over: what fuel is better to fill in - gasoline 95 or 92? The answer to this question is very ambiguous. The fact is that the AI-92 is only suitable for those foreign cars that were produced in the 80s of the last century. Since the 90s, almost all global automakers have begun to produce cars running ongasoline with an octane rating of at least 94. That is, almost all modern cars should only be filled with AI-95. In general, the requirements for the octane number are approved by the manufacturer himself (this figure can be seen in any instruction manual).

About the sins of domestic gas stations

True, the quality of fuel depends not only on the notorious octane number. It is also determined by the presence of acids, various organic compounds, mechanical impurities and sulfur. Unfortunately, the percentage of all of the above components at our gas stations significantly exceeds the norm specified by GOST and DSTU. As a result of a high concentration of sulfur, deposits, and sometimes water, such gasoline starts detonation processes when burned. As a result, the engine resource is significantly reduced, and the fuel system itself is very seriously clogged. Engine parts with frequent use of such gasoline are subject to corrosive effects, gumming and soot formation. Of course, if such fuel were supplied directly to the engine, without passing through fuel filters, then at the first start, the engine could be safely sent to a landfill. After all, it is the fine filter, installed from the assembly line on all foreign cars by the manufacturer, that collects all the dirt and deposits that could get into the combustion chamber. In this regard, the resource of their operation on our roads is 10-15 thousand kilometers (against 60-80 thousand in Germany!).

What conclusion follows from thisdo? If, according to the technical requirements, your car is designed to consume AI-95, in no case should you pour 92 into its tank, as this can significantly aggravate the operation of the engine and the fuel system as a whole.

About labeling

Earlier we have already talked about AI-95 and AI-92 gasoline. But besides this, fuel with other octane numbers is also produced in the CIS countries. These are AI-72, AI-76, AI-80, AI-91, AI-93, and also AI-98. In addition, gasoline can be produced in several variations and be leaded, low-leaded and unleaded. There are also differences between summer and winter fuels, but to a greater extent this difference applies to diesel fuel, since it freezes already at -10 degrees Celsius. At gas stations, fuel can be painted in a wide variety of colors. For example, the 72nd gasoline becomes pink, the 76th becomes yellow, and the 92nd and 93rd become orange-red. The most expensive, number 98, is painted blue.

In Western countries, it is very common to find signs that say that 95 Premium and Regular gasoline is on sale. And if we use such ads as an advertising ploy, then, say, in Germany, this means that this fuel belongs to the 1st grade (“Premium”) with an octane rating of 97-98, or to the second (“Regular”), which corresponds to number 90-94. In the US and UK, you can buy Super gasoline with an octane rating of 99-102. This is most often poured into expensive brands of sports cars.

Fuel price

The cost of 95 gasoline in all countries is different andconstantly changing. It would seem that just a couple of years ago, AI-95 was sold at our gas stations for 24-28 rubles. per litre. Today, at many gas stations, its price has increased to 35-36 rubles per liter (for example, 95 Lukoil gasoline).

In Turkey, fuel is sold at a price of more than 2 dollars per liter, which, translated into our money, is about 70 rubles. Fuel costs about the same in Scandinavian countries and the European Union. True, the quality of such fuel is significantly different from ours, and much better.
