Abstract:
Fuels that are contaminated or whose quality has been weakened by adding inferior quality ones are referred to as adulterated fuels. There has been hardly any data in developing nation but the rising consciousness in tailpipe emission levels has prompted some action towards curbing adulteration. Increased emission of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen and particulate matter intoxicate the air from such fuels. Experts say health problem could result from harmful tailpipe emission and cancer using pollutants, through not all form of adulterants are harmful. Here the monitoring of liquid adulteration particularly that of petrol is done by setting a limited range of the specific gravity of petrol and maintaining temperature corrections at various temperature points to obtain an accurate specific gravity reading. In this manner, one parameter of the adulteration of petrol will be distinguished from pure petrol.
