Why Dangote petrol is clear as water, by analyst
Dangote Petroleum Refinery Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) petrol which was rolled out into the domestic market on Tuesday, September 3, came with its distinguishing feature.
It is as white as water because the plant uses ethanol as its refining additive.
This tells more about the fuel grade that can improve engine efficiency and power.
Besides, since ethanol has an appreciable amount of oxygen, it reduces the carbonation in the engines, thus, pruning the amount of carbon dioxide emission.
The analyst said: “Petrol has different colors depending on the additives used during refining. When it’s Red that means Octane was added.
“When it’s slightly Green then Octane is slightly very much. When is Yellow it means it has no lead in it. That means it’s unleaded.
“But when it’s clear as water as seen in the video then you should know that ethanol was used. What ethanol does is that it improves engine efficiency and power.
“Because ethanol has a good amount of oxygen it lessens the amount of carbonation in engines thereby reducing air pollution which comes as Carbon dioxide. So this is the best form of Petrol.”
