'Gasoline' has the potential to ignite too early ('detonate') in high compression combustion engines, producing a 'knocking' or 'ping' effect. The first compound discovered to remedy this effect was tetraethyllead (tetra-ethyl-lead, TEL). This anti-knocking agent therefore came into widespread use in petroleum, but use of this chemical began to be phased out after the toxicity of lead became known.
Thus other antiknock agents used instead of tetraethyllead are: ferrocene, iron pentacarbonyl, toluene, MMT (an organomagnesium compound) and several others.
Tetraethyl lead was historically the most effective anti-knocking agent in gasoline, but due to environmental and health concerns, it has been mostly phased out. Today, modern additives like methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT) or ethanol are commonly used as anti-knocking agents in fuel.
Lead was added to petrol as an anti-knock agent to improve engine performance. It prevented engine knocking or pinging, which is a metallic pinging noise that can occur in an engine when fuel ignites unevenly. Lead was phased out of petrol due to its harmful effects on human health and the environment.
An oxidizing agent is a substance that can accept electrons and cause other substances to lose electrons in a chemical reaction. A fuel is a substance that undergoes combustion to produce energy. In a chemical reaction, the oxidizing agent facilitates the combustion of the fuel by accepting electrons from it.
High octane fuel has a higher resistance to pre-ignition and knocking because it can withstand higher compression ratios and temperatures without igniting prematurely. This is because high octane fuel has a higher octane rating, indicating its ability to resist knocking under higher pressure conditions in the engine.
An anti-foaming agent is used in food-grade products to prevent excessive foam formation during processing or cooking, which can interfere with the quality, appearance, and efficiency of the product.

I get knocking & ping noise coming from the fuel injectors
tetraethy lead
tetra ethyl benzene
what is microbial agent, what is the advantages

Try a higher octane fuel
they are the same thing. "knocking" in an engine is the fuel igniting from the heat of compression of the fuel and the air together. in a desel engine this is how it is suposed to work because it has no spark plugs so the only way to ingite the fuel is by compressing the fuel and the air by a ratio of about 22 to 1. in a gas engine the fuel is ignitied by a spark plug, if you use low grade fuel the explosion can happen too early (before the spark plug ignites it) and cause a knocking noise in the engine whitch can cause dammage long tearm the typical compression ratio for a gas engine is 10 to 1. the more compression you have the higher grade fuel you need to prevent "knocking" whitch is why higher end cars need higher grade fuel because they have higher compression engines whitch make more horsepower with omperable size engines.
yes
simethecone and other non-foaming detergents are good anti-foaming agents.
It is a fine chemical powder which will absorb moisture and clump. The anti-caking agent helps prevent this.
