Gasoline in Brief
Gasoline is the most common flammable liquid in the world. It's very volatile, flammable, toxic, and irritating, and has a characteristic odor.
It’s not a pure substance, but rather a mixture of hydrocarbon liquids, ranging from pentane to decane, with hydrocarbon additives that promote smooth burning in an internal combustion engine. In a spill, it burns like other hydrocarbon liquids, generating large amounts of heat, smoke, and carbon monoxide.
