Petrol is a type of fuel derived from crude oil through a process called fractional distillation. It is different from fuel oil, which is a heavier type of fuel typically used for heating or powering ships and large machinery.
Fuel oil is thicker than petrol because it has a higher viscosity and density. Fuel oil is used in heating systems and diesel engines, while petrol is used as a fuel for gasoline engines in cars.
Petrol, also known as gasoline, is primarily made from crude oil through a refining process. Crude oil is a fossil fuel found underground and consists of hydrocarbons. The refining process separates these hydrocarbons into different products, with petrol being one of them.
It is (distilled from petroleum), except that some petrol (gasoline) contains the additive ethanol (grain alcohol) which is not a fossil fuel and is made from potatoes, corn, sugar cane, or other plant material.
Yes, petrol is a fossil fuel. It is derived from crude oil, which is formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals that have been buried and subjected to high pressure and heat over millions of years.
Oil, petrol, and diesel are made from crude oil, which is a fossil fuel formed from the remains of tiny plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. Crude oil is a mixture of hydrocarbons, which are organic compounds containing hydrogen and carbon atoms. The refining process separates the different hydrocarbons present in crude oil to produce products like petrol and diesel.

Crude oil
oil is used to produce petrol.
Petrol-which is oil-makes fuel along with wind.
yes, they are all fuel.
Petrol, fuel oil , disel oil
oil and petrol
4 stroke fuel is straight petrol, it does not have oil in it! If you use it in a 2 stroke engine you will seize the motor. 2 stroke fuel has oil added to it.
by fractional distilation which is heating something up so it boils and evaporates then the petrol condences and runs down the tube for petrol it turns into petrol (from fuel oil) by catylistic cracking, this is when the hydrocarbon get chopped of into smaller pieces
Petrol has a lower viscosity than fuel oil because petrol is a more refined product consisting of lighter hydrocarbons, while fuel oil contains heavier hydrocarbons and impurities. The lighter hydrocarbons in petrol flow more easily due to weaker intermolecular forces, resulting in lower viscosity compared to the heavier hydrocarbons in fuel oil.
Gasoline or petrol is distilled from crude oil.
