Overview
ABSTRACT
In Europe, since the 80s, petrols have had to undergo profound formula changes with the removal of lead additives. In addition, new environmental constraints requiring increasing vehicle emission reductions have led to a profound review of all types of formulations and the reassessment of some previously considered key characteristics, while some others have been newly identified as keys. In addition, the systematic use of biofuels in fuel formulation created the need for new blending rules. This article, the second part in the "fuel" trilogy, is dedicated to these aspects of petrol and other fuels for spark-ignition engines.

INTRODUCTION
An initial
This second dossier [BE 8 544] in the fuels trilogy is devoted entirely to petrols and fuels for spark-ignition engines, excluding natural gas. These are essentially gasolines of various types, LPG fuel and special products, notably those used in motor racing. These fuels have undergone profound changes over the last few years, particularly since the end of the 1970s-1980s, with the disappearance of lead.
