The gasoline,
when pourel
into a glass
cylinder of
40-50 mm in
diameter must
be trans-
parent and
must not show
suspension
or sediment
of foreign
bodies (in-
cluding wa-
ter)
NOTES 1. A sulfur content of not more than 0.6% is permissible in gasolines
produced from sulfurous petroleums.
2. At delivery points of gasoline to the consume; (petroleum bases), an
er 100 ml of gas-
m
g -
increase in the content of natural resins o 5
oline is permissible; similarly, the temperature of distillation at
all points may be 2?C higher, that of the final boiling point; 30C,
and the residue in the retort may be higher by 0.3%.
The induction period of the gasoline is determined at production.
Storage of the gasoline is permissible for a period not longer than
6 months from the time it is produced.
5, Resin content and induction period of straight-run gasolines are not
checked.
