Gasoline

From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

Gasoline is a fuel. It is also called petrol. We get it from fractional distillation of petroleum, a fossil fuel. That means we heat petroleum to a very high temperature and then things start to separate.

[edit] Uses

Gasoline is most often used in vehicles like cars, vans, etc. But larger vehicles like trucks use diesel oil. Gasoline can also be used in lawn mowers.

[edit] Dangers

Gasoline is very dangerous. It can explode when an electric spark lights it.
