Gasoline Changes
*
:Over The Years
'DETROIT < AP 1 ? - Back in the
days of the Model T Ford the gas- 1
<jhne which powered America s tin1
lizzies was pretty much what came'
ifaturaiiy from a simple refining.
o( crude oil.
Today's gasul.ne has been de
scribed at a liquid method of put- 1
ting additives into a car s engine
y. contains about 80 per cent syn
thetics and scientists are hard at
??
work on the other 20 per cent.
? ? The gasoline from the pump oi
Xour favorite station may have
^een cracked, reformed, treated to
remove sulphur, to remote knock,
te prevent corrosion, to prevent
carburetor icing, to prevent vapor
Ibck, to prevent gum and wax ior
ipation in the engine, metal de
activators may have been added,
plus detergents to keep carbure
ter parts clean, phosphorous to
prevent spark piug fouling and d\e
t? make the fuel readily recog
liized.
' For the Model T and other cars
that era it was enough to heat
crude oil and draw oft the hydro
gen and carbon compounds which
boiled between 90 and 400 degrees
fehrenheit. These hydrocarbons
ipake up straight run gasoline
which has an octane rating of
about 50.
If you put 50 octane gasoline into
i 1%0 model car the engine would
knock as if men were pounding
it with sledge hammers and the
result would be much the same?
in a very short time it would crack
Jfiito pieces.
. , Low octane fuels tend to explode
Under pressure and high temper
atures. This explosion is the knock
you'll hear from an engine Con-,
stant explosions will cau^e pistons
tp overheat, burn and crack
Since straight run gasoline is
?nly 50 octane and modern en
gines need fuels of 90 octane or
ntore. how is the problem solved?
Refiners u>e two general meth
fifa. One is called catalytic crack
ling, the other reforming. Catalyt
ic cracking involves healing to
hi-?h temperatures portion? of 'he
, cfade oil not used for straight run
gtf?oline. This produces highly de
A.frble compounds of high octane
ratings which can be blended into
the gasoline. Reforming is some
what similar process using the
straight run gasoline. It changes
flte chemical composition into
compounds with higher octane
ratings.
? To raise octane even higher,
tetraethyl lead is added? some to
Regular grades, more to premium
grades.
A national survey by the Ethyl
Corp., which supplies the tetra
ethyl lead compounds, shows av
erage regular grade gasoline soil
kst month was 92.4 octane, the
average premium grade was ?9.3
octane.
T W Warren, director of the
i ei.ut.-i \ technology division of
Ethvl s Detroit laboratories, says
regular grade gas ls satisfactory)
fbr about 45 per cent of the cars
on the road today Fifty per cent
need premium and the other five
per cent need new super premium
grades oLjnore <han 11)0 octane. I
Auto manufacturers normally
specif., whether >our new car has
been designed lor regular or pre
mium gasoline Other lactors also1
can affect the octane need.
Air pressure is one A car needs
100 octane fuel at a sea level city
such as Corpus Christi, Tex , will
need only about 90 octane fuel in
mile-high Denver. High tempera
tures generally raise your octane
requirements, high humidity low
ers them some.
One factor which affects almost
every car is the accumulation of
ca'bon deposits. As the fuel burns
minute quantities of carbon build
up in the combustion chambers
This cuts the sue oi these cham
bers and raises the compression]
ratio In 10.000 miles of operation
this can become important enough
to increase vour octane* needs by
10 number v or possibly from reg
ular to premium made fuels
Warren advises thai >oti have
your engine properly tuned, then
test brand' and grade< until >t>u
find 1'ie one best suited to your
particular car.
