This book explores motor gasoline, its desirable properties, and effective laboratory testing methods. It defines gasoline's general traits, discussing historical and contemporary refining techniques and how they impact individual gasoline traits. With improved methods for analyzing gasoline having emerged in the years since the book was first published, the author presents both older and newer methods to provide readers with a comprehensive look at the subject. The book discusses the usefulness of specific gravity, volatility, distillation, and other factors in assessing gasoline's utility as a fuel. It offers insights into topics such as cracking, the presence of aromatic hydrocarbons and unsaturated hydrocarbons, determining gasoline's acidity, and its heat value. By examining the qualities that make motor gasoline useful, while also discussing the processes that impact those qualities, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in how gasoline is processed, tested, and refined.
