The flashpoint of petrol (gasoline) typically ranges from about -43°C to -40°C (-45°F to -40°F). This low flashpoint means that petrol can easily ignite at room temperature, making it highly flammable and requiring careful handling and storage. The specific flashpoint can vary slightly depending on the formulation and additives in the petrol.
What else can I help you with?
How do you determine ignition point of fuel?
the ignition point of fuel or the flashpoint if that is what your asking can be found with many instruments i find that the grabner miniflash system is the most reliable, basically though it depends on what type of fuel your after im guessing your talking about petrol so the flashpoint would be approx -38.5*c to find the flashpoint of petrol you would have to cool the fuel to below -38 *c then slowly heat the fuel until it produces enough vapour to flash when in contact with a naked flame
Why Can you not convert diesel fuel to regular unleaded gas?
Diesel fuel has different chemical and physical characteristics than regular petrol. It is fractioned at a higher temperature and has a higher flashpoint.
Petrol is mainly composed of what?
petrol is a hydrocarbon fuel
What property of petrol affects engine knock?
'Knocking' in petrol engines is caused by petrols low flashpoint - its high combustibility. The octane rating is too low for the compression.

Can a petrol electric fuel be used for diesel?
I don't know what a 'petrol electric fuel' might be. You certainly can't use petrol in a diesel engine.
Which fuel has highest flash point?
Flashpoint is what temperature the fuel needs to be at to explode in the combustion chamber. Talking gasoline, the highest flashpoint would be needed for the fuel with the lowest octane rating (the yellow and black numbers at fuel station pump, Ex. 87, 89, 91, 93)
