Why does petroleum have to be refined?

Petroleum comes out of the ground as crude oil. Crude oil has different properties it is not clean and depending on where it is from needs cleaning up and the removal of components that are not desirable in the running of an engine. Crude is divided into many different products ranging from plastic to petrol to highly refined fuels like petrol. To run an engine on straight crude oil you would need a much bigger engine much more fuel and it would prove to be environmentally very bad.You would also need a totally different system for getting the fuel into the cylinders because crude oil is very thick and would not flow or evaporate like petrol

Do thick fuels burn faster?

Fuels are any mixture of a flammable substance and oxygen, as nothing can undergo combustion without the presence of oxygen. Depending on the air-fuel mixture, the fuel may burn poorly or not at all. The actual density of the fuel and the molecular construction of the fuel are factors wich play a role within the combustion process. Crude oil proves to be a poor fuel source compared to the refined gasoline it can produces, with the crude burning slowly and poorly, and the gasoline burning rapidly. Unprocessed crude oil is much denser than gasoline. This may not hold true for other fuel sources however, such as coal and wood.


How much gasoline is produced from one barrel of oil?

One barrel (42 gallons) of crude oil, when refined, yields approximately 19.6 gallons of finished motor gasoline. The remainder of the barrel yields distillate fuel oil, residual fuel oil, jet fuel, and other products.
