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


Why does the petrol fraction have a lower viscosity than the fuel oil fraction?

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.
