How To Make Gasoline

Gasoline is one of the most implemented fuels to give function to various vehicles, it is derived from petroleum, one of the items that, even today, is of great importance to many nations, not only for its use as fuel, but also for everything that derives from it, in addition to sometimes oil, is the main economic support of some countries, which know how to exploit to a great extent, the diversities that constitute it. The truth is that gasoline is one of the lightest fuels, despite the fact that in some places its price is quite affordable, in others it is not, and its price is increasing every day, so some people, the use of this fuel is not so feasible.

The refining process of this fuel is not so positive for the environment, so there are many who every day put their efforts into generating alternative fuels, much more natural, hence the origin of biofuels, even has experimented with the extraction of fuels, through the processing of garbage, others use corn, in short, there are many options that have come to the market, seeking to generate well-being, both for the environment, and for those of them fuels depend, because they can become much more profitable. But in this space, we will talk a little about how gasoline is made, from the one of industrial origin, to the one that is a little more homemade, that although it is not called gasoline, it is a kind of fuel,

Instructions for making gasoline

1. This is something that anyone cannot do at home, because its creation process is somewhat complicated, first of all you will need a place that provides you with the main raw material to make gasoline, such as oil, then you will need , an oil well, as well as all the specialized machinery to help you extract it.
2. Later you will need a means of transportation, to be able to move the extracted oil to the place where it will be processed, because no matter how close it is to the place that provides you with this raw material, manually, it is difficult to move it.
3. Once the source of the oil is obtained, the installation and machinery that allows its processing is essential, this type of place is known as refineries.
4. Once in the refineries, the oil is subjected to a process called fractional distillation, which consists of heating it through pipes, and thus, all the products necessary to make gasoline boil up to 200 degrees Celsius.
5. Once this has been subjected to the distillation process, the gasoline obtained is allowed to flow through the pipes, to a specific tank, where all this product that can be generated will accumulate, generally from this first process, low-carbon gasoline is obtained octane.
6. This low octane gasoline, through the use of a catalytic reformer, is transformed into high octane gasoline, which is the most widely used in motor vehicles as fuel.
7. The last step consists of removing from the gasoline, some substances that are not recommended, and to a large extent contaminants, such as ether, and this is how gasoline is produced, in which you invest day by day, to be able to move in your vehicles.

Ethanol. An alternative to gasoline.

1. The main thing for the manufacture of homemade ethanol is to obtain a sufficiently large container, a kind of barrel for example, where you must accumulate a series of decomposed fruits, that you obtain in any commercial establishment, or that you have bought, and you have not been able to consume , the point is, that they must be decomposed, it is much easier to make fuel with these, than using fresh fruits.
2. When the container used is a little less than half, stop filling it, it is advisable to fill only three thirds of it, for safety reasons.
3. Use a wide cane or stick thick enough that allows you to crush all the accumulated waste.
4. Buy yeast, the kind that is sold in wine-growing areas or the conventional one, the one you prefer, or simply the one you have at your fingertips, and add two sacks of it to the barrel, accompanied by water.
5. Subsequently, put a lid on the barrel, which is well attached.
6. For the next step, you will need a hydrometer, as you will need to keep an eye on the sugar content of the barrel, and this instrument can help you.
7. In approximately ten days, you should appreciate good results, since the sugar level of the barrel’s content should be eradicated.
8. You will need a reflux motor, which you can buy online, or with the help of an expert, you can build, and once you have managed to disappear the sugar level from the barrel contents, you must distill the mixture obtained so far, but this process must do it as quickly as possible, do not wait for many days to elapse.
9. Carry out the distillation process, generally these machines contain instructions that show you the correct way to use them.
10. With a specialized filter, you must eliminate the impurities that still remain in the fuel that you have obtained, product of the water, for which, necessarily, these impurities must be eliminated, so carry out the filtering process properly.
11. This should be the last process, and you will have achieved a homemade fuel, however, if necessary, depending on the use you want to give it, you may need one last step, such as adding a little gasoline, but it is only in the case of that the engine in which the ethanol will be used really requires it.
12. The process, although it requires some specific instruments, the procedure itself is simple, and you can give the fuel obtained various uses.

Tips for Making Gasoline

1. There are other alternatives to generate ethanol, such as corn-based, if you feel interested about the process to prepare it, you can do some research about it, and try to do it.
2. The ethanol obtained by the process that I have explained to you can be used in your vehicle, and in some tools that need fuel to function, you just have to make sure that this fuel in these is functional.
3. Regarding its use, in case you use it in your vehicle, you must first make a series of adaptations to it, so that your engine can process it, and run on ethanol only, in these cases, you will have a good performance of your vehicle, and the implementation of a homemade fuel, which can help you save some money.

5. It is important that you keep in mind that the production of ethanol, without prior permission, in some countries is sanctioned, so avoid inconveniences generated by this, if you decide to make and use ethanol, carry out the corresponding procedure, so that you can do all this, within the legality.
6. As soon as you verify that the ethanol being formed does not have a sugar level, process it, otherwise impurities may be generated in it, which will do great damage to your vehicle, therefore, this process must be supervised at all times.
