What is anti knock property?
The anti-knock property refers to a fuel's ability to resist premature ignition or knocking during combustion in an internal combustion engine. It is typically measured using the octane rating; higher octane fuels can withstand greater pressure and temperature before igniting.

Fuels with good anti-knock characteristics promote smoother operation and prolong engine life.
