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.
