What is Gasoline?

Prior to the invention of internal-combustion engines in the mid 1800's, gasoline was sold in small bottles as a treatment against lice and their eggs. Petrol was actually a patented name back then. This approach to treating of lice is no longer in much use, because of the inherent fire hazard and the risk of dermatitis In the United States, gasoline was also sold as a cleaning fluid to remove grease stains from fabrics. Before dedicated service stations appeared across the landscape, early motorists would purchase gasoline in cans to fill their tanks. The name gasoline is indicative of word-engineering technique which was popular at the time and issued in other petroleum products from that time period, most well known is petroleum jelly a highly purified heavy distillate, which was labeled Vaseline. The trademark Gasoline, however, was never registered, and thus became generic. Gasoline had other uses in cooking and for powring lights, and is still available in a very pure form, this is referred to as camping fuel or white gas, for use in lanterns and portable stoves. The word "gasolene" was first coined 1871. Theabbreviated form "gas" was first noted to be in use in American English in 1905. Gasoline was originally referred to any liquid used as the fuel source for a gasoline-powered engine, rather than diesel fuel or fossil fuel; therefore methanol racing fuel would have been classed as a type of gasoline.
