Gasoline was not invented, it is a natural by-product of the petroleum industry, kerosene is the main product, and gasoline is produced by distillation, which is the separation of the most valuable volatile parts of crude oil. Gasoline which makes it a better commodity.

When the history of automobile manufacturing began to become the first means of transportation, there was a need for the emergence of new types of fuel, so coal, gas, camphene and kerosene made from petroleum were used as fuel for lamps. The crude oil was converted to gasoline fast enough because the auto industry was rolling into production lines.

There was a need for improvement in the fuel refining process that would increase the efficiency of the car engine, especially new high-pressure car engines. The processes that were used to improve the yield of crude gasoline were known as cracking, which is the process of petroleum refining. Cracking is a process by which heavy hydrocarbon molecules are broken into molecules. Lighter through heat, pressure, and sometimes stimuli.

Cracking is the number one process for commercial production of gasoline, in 1913 AD, invented by William Meriam Burton, the owner of the first thermal cracking process that used heat and high pressures, eventually catalytic cracking replaced thermal cracking in the production of gasoline and catalytic cracking is an application Catalysts that create chemical reactions and produce more benzene The catalytic cracking process was invented by Eugene Houdrey in 1937.

There are other methods to improve the quality of gasoline and increase its supply, such as polymerization, which is the conversion of gaseous olefins such as propylene and butylene into larger molecules in the benzene range, the alkylation process, which is a process that combines olefin and paraffin such as isobutane, and the isomerization stage, which is the conversion of straight chain hydrocarbons to branched chain hydrocarbons, and reforming using either Thermal or catalytic to rearrange a molecular structure.

Auto fuel had been in use since the 1800's and was coal tar byproducts and lighter fractions of crude oil distillation, on September 5, 1885, the first gasoline-powered pump was manufactured by Sylvanus Bowser of Fort Wayne, the gasoline pump tank had marble valves The stopper is wooden and has a capacity of one barrel.

On September 6, 1892, the first gasoline-powered tractor, manufactured by John Froelich of Iowa, USA, was shipped to Langford, South Dakota. Later John Deere Plow Company On June 11, 1895, the first American patent for gasoline-powered cars was issued by Charles Duryea, Charles Deeria of Springfield, Massachusetts.

By the early twentieth century, oil companies were producing gasoline as a simple distillate from oil. In 1910, laws prohibited storing gasoline in homes. On January 7, 1913, William Merriam Burton obtained a patent for a cracking process to turn oil into gasoline. On January 1, 1914, he began The first gasoline pipeline in the United States to transport gasoline through a three-inch tube over 40 miles.

Charles Kettering modified the internal combustion engine to run on kerosene, Thomas Midgley Jr. discovered that the cause of the gurgling was from kerosene droplets that evaporated upon combustion, and he searched for anti-knock agents, then discovered tetraethyl lead added to fuel, and on February 2, 1923, For the first time in the United States, ethylbenzene was marketed.

In 1923, Almer McDuffie McAfee developed the oil industry's first commercial cracking process, a method that could double or triple the gasoline produced by crude oil via the standard distillation method. By the mid-1920s, gasoline was 40-60 octane. By the 1930s, the petroleum industry had stopped using kerosene, and Eugene Hodry invented the catalytic cracking of low-grade fuels in high-test gasoline in 1937.

During the 1950s, pressures increased and octane fuels increased, lead levels rose, and new refining processes began (hydrocracking). In 1960, Charles Planck and Edward Rosinsky patented (US #3,140,249) the first commercially useful zeolite catalyst. In the petroleum industry for catalytic cracking of petroleum into lighter products such as gasoline. In the 1970s, unleaded fuels were introduced. From 1970 to 1990, lead was phased out. In 1990, the Clean Air Act made major changes to gasoline with the aim of eliminating pollution.
