Abstract

This study explains a few aspects about the characteristics of the fuels like Motor gasoline, diesel and kerosene. Adulteration in the motor gasoline has been analyzed and methods to find the adulterants is explained here. Adulteration in the motor gasoline can be find out using "Gas Chromatography". This study also explains the role of the solvents as the adulterants.
