Introduction
This document is intended to provide a quality standard for petrol fuels for small engines with the aim of
reducing emissions for industrial safety and environmental reasons and extending the lifetime of devices.
Petrol fuels from an alkylate production process as specified in this document are mainly composed of
paraffinic hydrocarbons, contain only small amounts of olefins and are substantially free of aromatic
compounds, especially benzene. They are oxygen free, low in sulfur and are mainly used for small engines
(chain saws, mowing machines etc.) requiring pure petrol fuels or petrol fuels with an admixture of
engine oil depending on the design of the engine. Typically these fuels are produced in alkylation units
but other production methods are possible.
This document describes both a petrol fuel for externally lubricated four-stroke engines and a petrol fuel
for mixture-lubricated engines containing a lubricating oil component.
1 Scope
This document specifies requirements on petrol fuel for use as fuel in small engines, together with the
methods to be applied for testing these properties.
This document specifies requirements for two types of petrol fuel having low aromatics and sulfur
content:
— one type for use in four-stroke engines with separate lubrication; and
— one mixed petrol fuel type for use in mixture-lubricated engines.
Testing the properties of the added engine oil is out of the scope of this document.
NOTE For the purposes of this document, the terms “% (m/m)” and “% (V/V)” are used to represent
respectively the mass fraction and the volume fraction.
