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,
I am a driver, you are making sense, is like you are commercial driver too, go to a good Nnpc filling station not franshize ones, you will notice their fuel is not pure white, and it last longer

What's the difference between the both
That colour has nothing to do with adulteration or octane rating

It called "dye-ing".

That colour is just to differentiate it from water or kerosene. Petrol is colourless but it's dyed so that you know that it is petrol and not water.

It is similar to the cooking gas (LPG) smell you perceive at home. Normally, LPG is odourless but it's odourized with mercaptan for you to identify when it's leaking.

This is usually done so you can know if you are buying smuggled fuel, not just petrol even diesel is coloured.
Re: Why Does Petrol Colour Differ (picture) by motun44: 2:55pm On May 19, 2024
Different sources, refining processes, containers, storage, etc.

Re: Why Does Petrol Colour Differ (picture) by eliwa47(m): 3:02pm On May 19, 2024
Am not sure it's adulterated , cos we have different types of petrol -
* Leaded
* Unleaded

After importation. Those fuel are adulterated here. If you don't , now you know.....
Re: Why Does Petrol Colour Differ (picture) by GloriousGbola: 3:15pm On May 19, 2024
I am wondering because all petrol in Nigeria right now is single sourced from nnpc. One would expect it has the same colour. Though maybe individual marketers are colouring for easy identification

The color of petrol is not affecting anything it depend on the purpose product it don't mean anything bad

Leaded and unleaded fuel...
Which one is premium?
Re: Why Does Petrol Colour Differ (picture) by Ten06(m): 4:59pm On May 19, 2024
Refined petrol typically comes in different colors due to variations in the additives used by different fuel companies. These additives can affect the color of the petrol, but it doesn't necessarily indicate differences in quality or performance. The main purpose of these additives is to improve engine performance, reduce emissions, and prevent engine knocking.
