Petrol SANS1598
Petrol is a transparent, petroleum-derived liquid that is used primarily as a fuel in internal combustion engines. It consists mostly of organic compounds obtained by the fractional distillation of petroleum, enhanced with a variety of additives. Some gasolines also contain ethanol as an alternative fuel. In North America, the term gasoline is often shortened in colloquial usage to gas, but some people use the term petrol, which is the common name in the UK and elsewhere in the Commonwealth of Nations. Under normal ambient conditions, its material state is liquid, unlike liquefied petroleum gas or natural gas.
Diesel SANS342
Diesel or diesel fuel in general is any fuel used in diesel engines. The most common is a specific fractional distillate of petroleum fuel oil, but alternatives that are not derived from petroleum, such as biodiesel, biomass to liquid (BTL) or gas to liquid (GTL) diesel, are increasingly being developed and adopted. To distinguish these types, petroleum-derived diesel is increasingly called petrodiesel. Ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) is a term used to describe a standard for defining diesel fuel with substantially lowered sulfur contents.
Illuminating Parrafin SANS1913
As one of the cheapest sources of energy, Paraffin is used by millions of people in South Africa as well as Botswana, Namibia, Mozambique, Lesotho and Swaziland. Although mostly used for domestic purposes, such as cooking and heating, paraffin also plays a role in industrial environments. With many sources of energy to choose from, Illuminating Paraffin remains a popular choice due to its inexpensive nature as well as the appliances that it is intended for.
