So which one is the best, the colored or the light ones. I see Yankee own is pink 📍 color..

@ OKOATA, colourless. The clearer, the better.

My own be say make the car no spoil or stop in the middle of forest because of fuel

They're all importing bad fuel

It could be from the Bony light crude or Brent crude.

One is refined in rivers while the other one is refined by Dangote

One from creek, the other from refinery

One is helinues and other is yarimo

Both burn with lies.

The Red one last longer

One is Petrol while the other one is Pootrol

Leaded and unleaded fuel...

One is from NNPC, the other from black market. Yes o!

Normal petrol ranges from colourless to yellow.

Any petrol with a different colour either has

A. Additives,
OR
B. Contaminants.

Chemistry students know it's colourless. It coloured for identification, I got to know this from a retired manager of Kaduna Refinery Petrol Chemicals KRPC when it was still working.

The key thing in petrol is octane rating

The coloured one last longer than the pure one..

One is very low quality and will evaporate like wind while the other is standard.pms with low sulphur and led content

Sun

Sun or sometimes mixture, but the real colour is light grey, pure white fuel use to burn and dry faster, but it make your injector system to open well, you will notice the movement of your vehicle will more faster, but the grey colour fuel, will last longer in your vehicle but your vehicle will experience low movement, because the injector system will not fully open to work faster,

Octane rating,cracking and reforming

Petrol (also known as gasoline) can have different colors due to various reasons:

1. Dyes or markers: Refiners or distributors may add dyes or markers to identify specific batches or grades of petrol. These colors can indicate the type of petrol, its octane rating, or its intended use (e.g., regular, premium, or diesel).
2. Additives or detergents: Some petrol contains additives or detergents that can impart a color. For example, some petrol may contain a red or yellow dye to indicate the presence of a specific additive package.
3. Contaminants or impurities: Petrol can become discolored if it contains contaminants or impurities, such as water, dirt, or other substances. This can cause the petrol to appear cloudy, hazy, or colored.
4. Age or degradation: Over time, petrol can degrade or oxidize, leading to a change in color. This can result in a darker or more yellowish color.
5. Regional or country-specific regulations: In some regions or countries, petrol may be required to have a specific color or marker to indicate compliance with local regulations or taxes.

Common colors of petrol include:

- Clear or transparent: This is the most common color, indicating a pure or refined petrol.
- Yellow or amber: This color is often used to indicate a mid-grade or premium petrol.
- Red or pink: This color may indicate a high-octane petrol or a specific additive package.
- Green or blue: These colors are less common and may indicate a specialized petrol or a specific regional or country-specific regulation.

Keep in mind that the color of petrol does not necessarily affect its quality or performance.

Mine is since 4th May NNPC gave assurance that it has enough PMS in store and that there will be sufficient supply of the product, ending long queues etc. Weeks later the case is the same -

one is locally refined

Different refining processes

Lol. I always ask myself same question. Pet engineers in the house, over to you.

Growing up, I always saw the colour looking red through the manual dispensing machine's transparent glas container. The dispenser would be jacked up and down to release petrol from either the surface or underground tank, using the hand. Pesin don waka for this country lol
