A fuel is any material that can be made to react with other substances so that it releases energy. Fuel oil is a fraction obtained from petroleum distillation, either as a distillate or a residue. Gas Oil (Diesel), Gasoline (91,95,98), Kerosene and Hydrocarbon mainly used for the production

Aviation fuels
Aviation fuels are petroleum-based fuels, or petroleum and synthetic fuel blends, used to power aircraft. They have more stringent requirements than fuels used for ground use, such as heating and road transport, and contain additives to enhance or maintain properties important to fuel performance or handling.

Gasoline (91,95,98)
When it comes to the different fuel types, it’s the number that really matters – 91, 95 and 98. These numbers are called the ‘octane-rating’, and are an indication of how well the fuel resists burning too early inside the car’s engine.
Standard petrol is given a 91 rating, while premium unleaded is both 95 and 98. There are also two ethanol-based fuels – E10 and E85 – which are more environmentally friendly options.
Standard unleaded petrol (91)
Unleaded 91 petrol is the most common type of fuel in UAE, and can be found at pretty much every petrol station. Most cars will be able to use it, although you may find the more premium fuel to be more fuel efficient, depending on what car you have.
Premium 98-octane unleaded
Sometimes referred to as Ultra Premium unleaded petrol (UPULP), premium 98-octane fuel is the highest octane unleaded fuel, providing higher engine power and performance as well as less pollution, according to providers. As with PULP 95 it is best-utilised by performance cars, and some models will say that they can only take 98 and not anything else.
E10
E10 is an ethanol-based fuel, in that it’s 10% ethanol and 90% unleaded petrol. It has a higher octane rating of 94, so it’s more powerful than standard unleaded petrol, but the presence of the ethanol does mean it can be slightly less fuel efficient.
E85
The other ethanol option available is E85, a fuel so powerful it’s often used on V8 supercars. As the name suggests it’s 85% ethanol and only 15% regular petrol, meaning that in addition to being more powerful, E85 is cheaper and has much less of an effect on the environment. According to United Petroleum, it has an octane rating of 107.

Hydrocarbon gas liquids (HGL)
It includes natural gas liquids. It is a low density mixture of hydrocarbon liquids that are present as gaseous components in the raw natural gas produced from any natural gas fields.
Hydrocarbon gas liquids (HGL) are extracted during oil and natural gas production; HGLs are extracted during the oil refining process (when oil is refined into a petroleum product) and during natural gas processing at a natural gas plant Because HGL is produced at a level greater than can be transported, it must be stored.

Kerosene
Kerosene is a flammable liquid mixture of chemicals that are produced in the distillation of crude oil. To produce kerosene, crude oil is distilled in a distillation tower in a process similar to that used to produce diesel and gasoline. It is a medium weight distillate in the refining process, and can be produced by distilling crude oil (here it is known as straight run kerosene) or by hydrocarbon cracking heavier petroleum (here it is known as cracked kerosene). Kerosene is a major component of aviation fuel, making up more than 60% of the fuel. The use of kerosene as an oil in heaters can be dangerous and because of that it is not used frequently. When operating, kerosene heaters can cause degradation of air quality inside a home while producing toxic and carcinogenic gases. Because of this, kerosene is not actively used in home heating in most developed countries.
