Gasoline additives are becoming increasingly popular as it enhances the fuel efficiency with complete and effective use of a fuel

 

Gasoline Additives

Gasoline additives are usually added to the gasoline at the gas stations to increase the octane content. Octane ratings are simply the numerical equivalent of a fuel's strength of knock-resistant properties. Each brand of gasoline has a set maximum octane rating for every vehicle in their line of models. One of the most common gasoline additives used today is benzene. Benzene is also commonly referred to as Cetracyclic Carcinogenic Amino Acids or CBGA. When it is compounded, benzene is passed through a catalyst where the spark produced by the nozzle of the gas engine combines with the additives inside the fuel.

When this occurs, the additives inside the gasoline ignite and creates the cracking sound we associate with gasoline. It also gives off ethyl glucosamine and methylcobalamin, which help remove pollutants and road tar from the tailpipe. In addition to these two common gasoline additives, manufacturers have developed other additives for use in their gasoline. The most popular of these newer additives are hydroxy fuel additives. These additives increase fuel efficiency by reducing friction on carburetors. The less friction there is between the carburetor and the engine, the more efficient the fuel burn. Another widely used gas additive is Ethanol.

There are other types of gasoline additives as well. One additive that is widely used is zinc coating. This additive acts as a barrier against rust build-up. It also helps reduce corrosion on engine parts like valves and rings. Zinc has been shown to improve the performance of internal combustion engines. Gasoline additives also come in the form of injection systems. These additives are used in the injectors to increase fuel efficiency. Some of these additives include polyethylene glycol (PEG), polycarboxylic acid (PCA), and polyurethane. Each of these additives is used to improve one or more characteristics of gasoline such as its compression ratio, airflow, and temperature resistance. Recently, in December 2020, Trinity College Dublin researchers designed new fuel additives to boost efficiency
