PRESERVATION OF THE QUALITY OF AUTOMOTIVE GASOLINE DURING LONG-TERM STORAGE

Abstract

The article highlights issues related to studies of the quality of automotive gasoline during long-term storage. It is noted that Ukraine has small reserves of petroleum products, in particular gasoline. Therefore, it is necessary to create minimal reserves, as is practiced in developed countries. The preservation of the quality indicators of gasoline during long-term storage and environmental safety during their transportation and storage is quite relevant. It has been shown that many factors affect the physicochemical parameters of gasoline during long-term storage: interaction with the structural materials of tanks, the influence of external factors, storage and transportation conditions, etc. Therefore, it is important to test automobile gasoline after long-term storage for compliance of its quality parameters with the requirements of the standard.
