Petrol is a light fuel oil that is obtained by distilling crude petroleum and used as a fuel for vehicles running on internal combustion engines. Ever since its discovery, petrol, or Gasoline, plays a very important role in running the day to day economy of a country. The fuel has seen high demand in recent years.
The growing needs of the fuel have made humans explore various ways through which the fuel can be obtained from the natural environment for consumption.
