Today, the number of petrol pumps has increased in all cities across the country. Often, 3 to 4 gas pumps are visible within a kilometer radius. There is a slight price difference at many gas pumps. In such a situation, questions also arise in the minds regarding the quality of the gasoline. Often news of adulterated gasoline also comes to light. In such a situation, you must always pay attention to the quality of the gasoline. Besides, if you wish, you can find out the quality of the gasoline in a few seconds.
It is very important for our vehicle to have good quality gasoline, because gasoline is adulterated and we continually put it in our vehicle, then there can be problems in its engine or other parts. This mistake can also weigh heavily on our pockets. In such a situation, always fill up with gasoline only from a reliable pump.
Check with filter paper or A4 paper
The easiest and cheapest way to check the quality of gasoline is to use filter paper. Through its use, any type of gasoline adulteration can be easily detected. To check the purity of the gasoline, place a few drops of gasoline on the filter paper. If a stain forms on the filter paper, the gasoline is adulterated. If no trace forms, the quality of the gasoline is good. If you don’t have filter paper, you can also check it with white A4 paper. Let us tell you that the price of A4 paper is Rs 1. At the same time, the price of filter paper is also less than Rs.10. You only need a little filter paper for this job.
Density determines quality
Bharat Petroleum has determined that the density of pure gasoline is between 730 and 800. If the density of gasoline is more than 800, it is clear that the gasoline has been adulterated. However, its density is only tested in the laboratory. For this, special equipment is required. This requires a hydrometer, a special thermometer and a few other instruments. By using them, the purity of the gasoline can be known.
