Fuel Quality Standards

Fuel quality standards are regulations that specify the acceptable levels of substances and contaminants in fuels like gasoline and diesel. These standards ensure fuels are safe, reliable, and environmentally friendly by controlling factors such as octane/bypass ratings, sulfur content, and impurities. They help prevent engine damage, reduce harmful emissions, and promote fair competition among fuel producers. Governments and organizations set these standards to maintain consistent fuel quality across markets, protecting consumers and the environment while supporting fuel efficiency and vehicle performance.
