Gasoline oxygenates MTBE fuel properties

The use of MTBE as a fuel additive leads to improvements in the gasoline quality (so-called oxyfuels oxygen-containing gasoUnes). First of all, burning of the fuels is optimized as the content of harmful components in exhaust gases is reduced (benzene, ozone, NOx and CO). A second positive effect is the improvement in the anti-knock property of the fuel (increase in the octane rating).
