There are several main categories of fuel:
1. Gasoline: This is the most common type of fuel, suitable for most cars and light trucks. The classification of gasoline is based on its octane number, such as 90 #, 97 #, etc. The higher the octane number, the better the anti knock performance, and the more favorable it is for the engine.
2. Diesel: Diesel is the type of fuel used in diesel engines, which has higher combustion efficiency and therefore better fuel economy. The classification of diesel is based on its freezing point, for example, 0 # diesel indicates that when the temperature is below 0 degrees Celsius, it may condense into a solid.
3. Aviation kerosene: This is a fuel specifically used for aircraft, and its characteristics and requirements are different from ordinary gasoline and diesel.
4. Biodiesel: This is a renewable and environmentally friendly alternative to diesel, made from vegetable oil or animal fat through specific chemical reactions.
5. Natural gas: In recent years, natural gas has gradually become the fuel choice for motor vehicles, mainly divided into two types: compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG). Compared to traditional fuels, natural gas combustion produces lower exhaust emissions and causes less environmental pollution.
6. Hydrogen fuel: Hydrogen fuel vehicles use hydrogen as energy and convert hydrogen into electrical energy through fuel cells to drive the vehicle. At present, this type of car is still in the development stage.
7. Ethanol gasoline: This fuel is a mixture of gasoline and bioethanol, mainly used in Brazil and some parts of the United States to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and lower exhaust emissions.
8. Hybrid oil: Hybrid vehicles use a combination of multiple fuels, such as gasoline electric hybrid vehicles and diesel electric hybrid vehicles. This type of vehicle can reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions while ensuring performance.
In addition, there are some other types of fuel, such as heavy oil, kerosene, etc., but their application range is relatively narrow. When selecting fuel, it is necessary to choose according to the specific vehicle type and usage environment.
