It must be said that the signs with the crossed phone are not available at all gas stations - mainly on gas stations belonging to very large networks. And it forces it to think about their relevance - if any enterprises of "automotive food" do not bother off the warnings, then this is not necessarily and the problem is not too expressive?
But despite the fact that 99.9 people from a hundred or at all do not notice these signs, or completely ignore their calls, on various Internet forums the theme of the danger or security of the mobile phone at the gas station is raised by the tortuous minds relatively regularly. The main folk hypothesis of origin of a strange ban sounds like this:
- a mobile phone can affect electronic equipment that controls the pump, and you will not have fuel or equipment and will also block and stop working at all;
- the mobile phone is able to ignite the pairs of gasoline "its radio frequency radiation" and there will be a fire;
- a mobile phone in a thunderstorm attracts zipper, and if she will hit you on a gas station, it will explode to all smits and in half, as in the "Adventures of Italians in Russia".
Perhaps there are more enchanting theories, but we will limit ourselves to these three, with the permission of readers.
"Glitches and nothing"
"A clear myth - after all, mobile phones dozens of buyers work daily next to electronic scales and cash desks in stores, and their metrological filling does not turn off and is not buggy from the conversation on the mobile phone, - comments Viktor Gordov, director of Tatsunu Rus, the Russian branch of the Japanese manufacturer of fuel disposable Tatsuno Corporation speakers. - Old radiotelephones were very serious interference generators and could really affect electronic equipment - someone even heard of cases of hanging control systems at refueling and blocking columns. However, today modern fuel dispensers are not affected by mobile communications, their electronics are manufactured according to the special regulations and is also tested in a special way. Therefore, we did not apply any warning signs on your columns about your columns and do not apply. "
"Our fuel dispensers are tested for electromagnetic compatibility in special accredited laboratories," confirms Vitaly Lysikov, Deputy Chief Engineer Topaz-Service, a Russian company producing fuel dispensers. - The prototype of each electronic product we check for the degree of protection using special stands for the formation of electromagnetic interference. When designing electronic devices, a number of measures are made to protect against the electromagnetic field from the outside by shielding sensitive elements, filtering signals, restrictions of high-voltage emissions, grounding of the housing part and signal cable screens. Therefore, they are not afraid of electromagnetic interference from the phone. "
"Inflammation from radio waves"
Unlike conventional citizens, any radio engineer is obvious that from the work of a low-power radio transmitter, which is, for example, a mobile phone or the "Woki-currents" radio transmission, regardless of the range of the frequencies used, in the benzokolontka is not generated by any "sparks" of any kind, type or variety, nor heating any bodies and objects to the ignition temperature of gasoline or its vapor. At all. From the word "at all." Or completely from the word "generally"!
Yes, powerful radio transmitters (an example of which in everyday life can serve as a magnetron microwave oven) capable of providing their radiation thermal effect and vortex currents in metal objects that generate electrical discharges - sparks. But this happens inside the furnace - in a tiny closed volume designed specifically so as to strengthen this effect, and when the power supply is in a pair of kilowatt. For the same to teach sparkling and fire in metal objects in open locality, we need a radio transmitter with a shed ... Specialists, of course, confirm:
"By and large, the phone is a source of electromagnetic radiation, and the electromagnetic radiation is capable of generating currents in conductive circuits and metal objects. Accordingly, the induced electric current can cause an electric spark, which is under the power of fuel vapor, "says Alexey Nagornaya, the commercial director of Altaistelane, a company producing block and mobile gas stations. - However, in order for this to happen, it is necessary that too many incredible conditions have coincided: the transmitter power must be significantly higher than the phone, "adopt" the radiated energy should have a certain electrical chain in which the spark is capable of forming, and around this spark fuel Must have a certain concentration for ignition ... "
Therefore, although the phone is often associated with ignition on petrol stirrer, the reason is not in it. Here on this video, for example, it can be seen that, although a person actively chats on the phone, the ignition occurs at the time of the touch of the fuel dispenser:
Obviously, a couple of fuel coming from the tank, he burned the spark of static electricity, which accumulates on synthetic clothing, but we see that "the fire happened during the mobile phone call!". And on this video is shown a much more likely cause of fire on the gas station "from the mobile phone":
"Mobile attracts zipper"
Why do journalists and British scientists can not be reproached in a frank lie when they argue that almost all affected by the zipper has recently had a mobile phone with them? Yes, because everyone has a mobile phone - no matter if there is a zipper in it or not ... And the "city legend" about the danger of "attraction" by the phone on himself lightning in a thunderstorm and the subsequent ignition of the gas station from it does not have a scientific base from it.
"The danger of attraction of a telephone zipper into a thunderstorm to a person at the column is a myth," Alexey is convinced of Nagornny. - Electric breakdown when lightning discharge occurs at the shortest distance from a negatively charged channel from the cloud to a positively charged surface of the Earth or any item located on its surface. Therefore, lightning beats in high items: pillars, trees, buildings, lightning lines, etc. So while at refueling with a cell phone, you will not "attract" zipper - it will attract lightning lines or some kind of designs on the roof of the canopy, which are much higher than a person with a telephone. Even if the refueling is lonely in the open space, the "attractive" zipper will be precisely the presence of a towering conductive subject, and not the mobile phone itself in your hand itself ... "
So safe or no phone at refueling?!
It would seem, after all of the foregoing, after the debunking of all the stupid myths, this question is ridiculous. Wait!
The phone is still capable of becoming a source of fire in a number of exceptional cases - that's just not necessarily at the gas station, and this is not connected with radio waves, lightning or electromagnetic interference! This, figuratively speaking, is not at all due to the fact that he is the phone.
"According to the documents that regulate the work of a gas station, explosive zones are considered 3 meters around each fuel dispenser and 8 meters around the fuel storage tanks - continues Vitaly Lysikov. - The fact is that the air saturated with gasoline couples is always displaced from the car's tank when filling it with fuel and enters the surrounding space. This is not an emergency, it is normal, and it happens almost always, in the regular mode of the column. Modern gas station can be equipped with a system for trapping these vapors from a gas tank and return to tanks, but not all gas station owners are established, since such a system is proposed not to enhance fire safety, but on environmental considerations. "
Yes, in a number of regulatory documents, which regulates the work of the gas station, there is no direct prohibition or permission to use on the territory of the gas station directly cell phones. But according to paragraph 743 of the section of the XVI "Fire-controlled complexes and stations" "Fire Safety Rules in the Russian Federation", in the explosive zones of gas stations, it is forbidden to use any equipment that is not certified by the explosion-proof class. No matter - Telephone This, children's toy on the battery, flashlight, electric drill or coffee maker!
And since mass mobile phones belong to the class of electrical equipment that does not have explosion protection, they are used to use them for gas stations. And the nameplate with the crossed phone is hanging precisely because the driver of the car with a high share of probability other than the phone with itself is simply not!
Phone with explosion protection - what is it?
For non-specialists, the term "explosion-proof equipment" is smother and foggy. Moreover it is unclear - can the phone be "explosion-proof"? Explain!
You probably drove the electric drill, which means they saw through the ventilation slots of its body, as the collector of the motor! This is a classic example of non-break-proof equipment. If you try to drill such a hole drill somewhere in a mine, where there are methane accumulations everywhere, gloomy guys in helmets with lanterns on the forehead (explosion-proof, by the way!) Importantly explain to you how you are wrong ...
In other words, the explosion-proof should be any electric and electronic equipment operating in places where the formation of explosive gases and vapors is possible. At the enterprises and objects of the chemical, mining, oil and gas industry, in the warehouses of combustion and paints, in galvanic and battery workshops, in paint chambers, etc. Wiring, switches and lamps, machines, tools and appliances, as well as communications - radio stations and mobile phones - are obliged to be explosion-proof - this requires safety standards.
The design of explosion-proof instruments and devices in principle eliminates any spark or heating capable of igniting combustible gases or pairs. The instrument housings are protected from their penetration, batteries, and most importantly, their contacts are closed with hermetic covers, etc. This principle for dangerous industries has a lot of many years.
And some time ago, explosion-proof cell phones appeared. For example, SONIM, RUGGEAR brand models and some others. They stand crazy money and the demand for them is negligible. However, it is precisely such a phone that is completely officially, legally and 146% is safe to use for calls in close proximity to the jet of the flowing gasoline and in the cloud of his vapor ... The manufacturer ensures that the spark will never go beyond the gadget housing, the combustible pairs will not get inside the mobile phone, And the battery will not speak, as if the iPhones sometimes happens ...
"The main source of fire hazardous electrical appliances is their local overheating and sparking," explains Alexey Nagornny. - Since the cell phone, as a rule, does not overheat so as to cause fire, the danger in the possibility of the appearance of an electrical discharge. Therefore, the explosion-proof phones differ from unprofitable primarily by their intrinsic safety: they have a hermetic case, and the entire electronic filling of the phone is reliably isolated from the external environment, plus the enclosures of such phones are performed from anti-static insistently forming plastics: they do not spark in touch and do not "carve a spark" even when Fall on a metal surface. "
RESULTS
I must say that when the site represented by the author of the article proceeded to the preparation of this material, the topic seemed much easier, shorter and easily, and it turned out in a very large-scale and, perhaps, booted research ... But what about? And it turns out that we completely confused the reader. Like the running myths are debunked, however, according to the norms of explosion protection, any mobile phone, except for rare special, is able to suddenly light up with your hands and ignite the fuel vapors at the column ... How to be? The option here, of course, two.
The first, absolutely safe, but uncomfortable to those who should be in touch at any minute, leave the phone inside the car. In this case, of course, it is not necessary to turn off or translate it into the air.
And the second option is to have a phone with you, in your pocket or bag, even during the fill of gasoline. And calmly respond to urgent call, if you suddenly receive an incoming call. Personally, I choose the last option, believing that the risk of inflammation of the battery or the "Iskr's exit beyond the limits of the mobile phone hull" is probably negligible, and this danger can be neglected.
Residents of the capital are interested in what gas stations are better refueling in the city of Moscow. The presented gas station rating is focused on quality, as well as additional advantages that offer stations.
Now to the question of what gas station is still the best in the capital. As you can see, plays a big role that you refuel and what a diesel fuel or gasoline quality. Therefore, we have collected for you the best gas stations that work on. The quality of the proposed fuel, the level of trust and reputation of the company is adopted. Yes, there may be exceptions due to the unscrupulous direct guidance of separately taken stations. But for the most part it is on these gas stations that the most optimal fuel is proposed.
Among the negative reviews, the most popular are complaints about non-fuel. The organization does not respond to such complaints, the call center practically does not work. As for the positive impact on the engine and the transmission of the car, then in reality it is quite difficult to estimate it - for this it is necessary for long-term use. Although after refueling the motor is practically not heard, it works smoothly and without failures. Users also confirm the decrease in fuel consumption and saving money. The most significant disadvantage of the company is the lack of service and qualifications of personnel in some gas stations of Moscow, as well as the unequal quality of the fuel itself.
ESA is not engaged in the development or oil production, but only buys fuel from large importers and implements it in retail chains. He is a representative of the Moscow Fuel Association, has positive results of all inspections. Among the benefits of the company is worth highlighting seasonality, quality and environmental friendliness of products. Also, the organization is famous for more than 1000 partner companies and the confidence of the largest suppliers of Russia, including Rosneft, Lukoil and Sibneft.
Positive feedbacks testify to high-quality service and fuel, which has not yet failed. The compliance of the Gostas and Technical Regulations on the site is not confirmed. Discounted cards are also available and the ability to pay for fuel with special bonuses "Thank you". On the other hand, negative feedbacks testify to the misunderstanding of fuel at different gas stations, no feedback and a working hotline. The company's management states that it does not always have the ability to control the work of a gas station in the distant.
Tatneft is one of the fuel sold fuel of the budget segment than and won trust and popularity among metropolitan motorists. The organization does not produce fuel, but simply sells the products of the largest oil refineries of the country, carefully controlling the quality of each delivery in specialized laboratories. The organization claims that only the best additives are used for fuel that do not have a negative effect on the driving system of the car and protect engines from rapid wear.
Reviews indicate that on gas stations Tatherft, the octane number of fuel corresponds to the declared one. At the same time, the company constantly upgrades filling stations to compete with market leaders. For this, new cafes are regularly open and an assortment of services and goods in minimarkets is expanding. Also, the plus is that Tatneft openly suggests that additives are added to the fuel.
Most motorists use Tatneft services solely thanks to the low cost of fuel. At the same time, almost half of the reviews are negative - the quality of services is changing at different points.
This is a relative new network of Moscow gas stations, which quickly gained popularity among motorists of the capital. Customer checks show that the company provides environmentally friendly and affordable medium-level fuel. The management claims that to improve the quality of service, checks and modernization of gas stations are regularly held. And it is noticeable for the service in the cafe and places of recreation. The route is a supplier of a new type of fuel - premium sport, increasing acceleration and dynamics. Gasoline is recommended to use for powerful cars with plenty of horsepower.
Customer reviews, in general, positive. On the territory of most gas stations, the route is equipped with cafes and minimarkets. The company cooperates with other fuel suppliers and provides fuel cards operating in partners. Many drivers write that the car really drives onto the drift from the track. On the other hand, some innovations of the organization caused a negative reaction. For example, recently paid gasoline immediately after refueling. Also, drivers complain about the quality of fuel in the distant regions of the capital. In the central part of the service and the quality of gasoline at the height.
British Petroleum is one of the largest networks not only in Moscow and Russia, but also around the world. The company is engaged in the extraction and sale of fuel in its own network of gas stations. The main partner in Russia is Rosneft, promoting the development of new sources and oil production technologies. The company has recommendations from world automotive brands such as Jaguar, Volvo, Skoda, etc.
The main goat BP is a special Activ gasoline with unique properties, the implementation of which in Russia began in the early 2000s. The management claims that special fuel cleans the diesel engine nozzles, combustion chambers and valves. Due to this, after 30 hours of operation, the engine almost completely restores power. It is also worth highlighting a list of permanent reorganization of the service and the gas stations themselves, which then adopt the largest representatives of the segment. On the territory of Russia today there are 5 oil refinery, from where the supply of fuel is produced.
On the other hand, the company has been repeatedly involved in large scandals. For example, in 2012, management received accusations of market discrimination and artificial overestimation of fuel prices, after which they still remain among the highest in our ranking of refueling. The largest scandal occurred in 2010, when an oil-producing platform "Deep-water horizon" exploded in the Gulf of Mexico Bay. As a result of the incident, the fuel rating was reduced by one point, and the company to this day carries losses and eliminates the consequences of the accident. Despite this, the fuel quality remains the best among others.
International experts assess the quality of Rosneft fuel and service at gas stations as one of the best in the region. The organization has implemented its own service standards, quality audit and fuel characteristics. Rosneft abandoned third-party services and has its own mobile laboratories that control the quality of products at all stages of delivery - from mining to directly transporting gas stations. Such laboratories also make regular random service checks and quality at all gas stations in Moscow. The company is the official partner of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and the other largest representatives of the segment.
Rosneft has a license from British Petroleum, which indicates high quality of fuel, compliance with European standards and constantly updated technologies. In addition to gasoline, the gas station Rosneft offers all types of fuel, including diesel, gas and engine oils. There are more than 1000 gas stations on the territory of Russia, the lion's share is located in Moscow.
The main advantage of the company in front of other ranking participants is that feedback is working here. The hotline really processes customer complaints and provides checks. On the other hand, many drivers leave negative feedback, indicating a low service.
In 2014, every fourth driver called Gazprom Neft its preferred gasoline quality gas stations. To thank customers for their loyalty, the company improves the Going The Same Way loyalty program, which has more than 11.4 million participants in 29 regions of Russia, most are in Moscow. Participants can collect points for fuel, products and services for gas stations.
One of the key tasks that the company puts in front of the management of the company is to maintain high quality fuel, engine oil and other products available at their gas stations. Most of the fuel comes from the Moscow, Yaroslavl and Omsk refinery, which are among the most advanced in Russia. In 2013, the company's oil refineries were transferred to the production of motor fuel ecological standard Euro-5.
In 2014, after the completion of its quality assurance program and the transition to the fuel production of EURO-5, Gazprom moved to the second stage of the Factory Modernization Program - an increase in the depth of the processing and production of light petroleum products. The largest oil refining asset is the Omsk refinery, which was the industry leader in 2014, processing a record 21.3 million tons of crude oil during the year.
A wide range of cheap services is provided at Moscow gas station "Gazprom": free Wi-Fi, car wash, air pumps, water refueling, rapid payments, ATMs and a wide range of tourist goods, including self-brand goods. Comfortable Drive Cafe provide customers with fresh pastries, delicious coffee or tea and everything they need for the road.
The organization keeps up with the best service practice and regularly increases the number of gas stations. Information about the gas station network is available on an interactive map or through a mobile application.
Honorary first place in the top occupies one of the best networks of Moscow gas station LUKOIL. The organization boasts a large number of awards and certificates, offers any types of gasoline, including environmental and Euro-5. The high cost of fuel is justified by its high quality - most reviews indicate that gasoline LUKOIL does not harm the engine or driving system. That is why the main part of Moscow motorists chooses LUKOIL as a permanent supplier of fuel and refuel only here.
The company successfully implements the affiliate program and since 2010 provides services to dealers and private implementers on franchise. Each new gas station must comply with the developed high standards and take strict selection. Lukoil has its own refineries and laboratories.
Only you decide where you will refill your own car. But save, trying to pour the cheapest gasoline, definitely not worth it. This entails many problems. And what gas station in Moscow do you consider the best and why? Be sure to write your opinion in the comments and argue.
As a decent man, I adore cars, and it does not live calmly, I decided to check the quality of gasoline at the Moscow gas stations. Rosneft, LUKOIL, Gazprom, BP and others tremble!
In the auto shops for sale various test strips to test the quality of gasoline. But it is clear that they cannot give full data of gasoline composition and determine its compliance with all standards. Such a test did not do so long ago macos. . The experiment seemed interesting to me, but I decided to act for sure and went to the real testing laboratory of fuel and lubricants.
The first surprise was the search for a laboratory that can test gasoline. It turned out that there are not many such in Moscow. I only arrived only two (Shell and Oil Magistral) Suitable laboratories, which can be given gasoline to an individual analysis. Other laboratories or analyze oils, or are not close, or the analysis is unnecessarily expensive, or with individuals cooperation is problematic. By the way, maybe someone knows why such laboratories do not like individuals?
The choice fell on the oil process. In fact, chose them because of the price (pleasure it was not the cheapest), and they are close enough from Moscow (Vnukovo).
Having drove on the Moscow Ring Road from Yaroslavl to Kiev Highway I drove to the following refueling: Rosneft, LUKOIL, BP, Oil Migra, Gazpromneft. Poured gasoline into plastic canisters, specially intended for gasoline. For testing, standard 95Y gasoline was taken.
I spread the checks on gasoline for comparison - (price per liter / rubles): Oilmagistral - 33.20, Gazpromneft - 34.05, Rosneft - 34.10, LUKOIL - 34.52, BP - 34.59. At BP could not resist, bought mineralca-). The main question is whether the cheaper gasoline is different and is different than the cars useful to feed and is there any difference than feeding?
So that everything was most independently, passed the samples of gasoline anonymously - under the numbers. Although, running forward, I will say that after the analysis we talked with a person who works there and looking at the composition, he himself compared and called the brands of three probes. At that moment, this respect for a person knows the market so well and knows the compositions and differences between gasoline of different brands.
The laboratory is equipped with the latest technology. I would not call her big, but the equipment amazes. The following fuel parameters were analyzed: octane number, fractional composition, content of sulfur and aromatic compounds. No matter how cool, but these data strips for gasoline test can not reveal. And good gasoline is not only excellent running and accelerating characteristics of the car, but also the key to its uninterrupted work and serviceability. I think that one who stands on guarantees and travels on something, many times heard from the masters sighs about dirty candles and poor gasoline.
Let us dwell on several devices in more detail. Below IIT 85m. The device is made in Russia at the Savelovsky Machine-Building Plant. This installation determine the octane number. The device imitates the operation of the engine using only one cylinder, then the installation compares the standard with the gasoline entered.
With octane number, all marks turned out to be order. All within the normal range.
Test further. The sulfur content in gasoline helps to determine the spectrometer. The active sulfur compounds contained in gasolines cause severe corrosion of the fuel system and transport tanks. Inactive sulfur compounds to corrosion do not lead, but the gases formed during their combustion cause a quick abrasive wear of engine parts, reduce power and worsen the ecological situation.
And this device for determining the chemical station. For a few seconds it gives a detailed analysis of the composition.
The apparatus defining the fractional composition of gasoline.
Apparatus for determining the density of petroleum products
Apparatus for determining the pressure of saturated vapor
Equipment for the analysis of diesel fuel is significantly different. But I had no diesel fuel with me, so exactly how the device works, I could not see, but I managed to capture:
Apparatus for determining actual resins
But the most important thing is the final results, it was behind them I came to the laboratory. In fact, the results were unexpected. I was sure that at least half of the stamps would be unsuitable, but ... almost all gasoline was within the framework of standards, the only thing, LUKOIL "failed".
Gasoline LUKOIL AI-95 does not comply with GOST R 51866-2002 for a number of indicators of the fractional composition. The first inconsistency: the end of the boiling (this indicator should not be higher than 210c, it is 215.7 s). Consequences: increased fuel consumption and carography in the engine cylinder combustion chamber. The second inconsistency: in the proportion of aromatic hydrocarbons. Consequences: Nagar on candles when passing as follows. All this can be seen in the test protocol. That is, this gasoline will not only increase fuel consumption, but also the engine wear will increase significantly.
The indicators of the fractional composition and the correspondence of these parameters of the norm are one of the main, since they can determine the speed of the engine warming, its injectivity, launchers, uniformity of the engine at idle. To decrypt all the indicators, you can use this "dictionaries".
According to the sulfur content, by the way, Gazprom, but according to this indicator, all within the limits of the norm in all brands.
Lukoil and Gazprom turned out to be the lowest performance in the eyes (octane number than it is higher, the better gasoline resists detonation) - 95.4, BP is slightly higher - 95.5, but still not a maximum, although I repeat that everything in The limits of the norm, but without much efforts.
Other protocols can see here
Oil groove:
Rosneft:
In general, I am surprised, still expected more violations -) perhaps the fact is that gasoline was taken in Moscow, we apparently undergo permanent checks. It would be interesting if someone living in the region would take the relay and conducted similar analyzes.
The question in the studio is whether it is worth overpaying for the brand, if, according to the total, the quality of everyone is the same, and some not cheap stamps are still a little shy away? Did you personally have for poor-quality gasoline? Have you tried to somehow prove to the manufacturer of his guilt? Did you add to such laboratories? And, in fact, than guiding when choosing a refueling, because, as it turned out, the high price is not always a security deposit ...
Alexander Vasilyev, a member of the Committee of the State Duma on Transport, the initiator of the establishment of the Institute of Public Control, answered.
Violations - Massa
Sales of low-quality gasoline in Russia, according to various estimates, range from 30 to 70%. How is it at all possible in the country where so many oil is mined? We still have not learned to do normal gasoline?
Large oil refineries producing more than a million tons of fuel, we have about 30 in our country, and small - about 90. and, alas, the work of these small enterprises is not always controlled properly. So gasoline of unsuitable quality goes on sale. The refueling buy it and "improve" to their own way: dilute, sell 92th under the brand of the 95th. Public control checks showed: violations - mass! But this organization is not at the power to get to all small refills. First, each such check is worth the money that social activists do not always have. Secondly, the owners of many gas stations are trying to repair obstacles to the inspection. It happens to the hands-writer comes, the canister from the controllers can snatch out of the hands. Or, knowing about the coming check, simply closes the refueling.
Having learned about this problem, we started working with public organizations that are engaged in fuel quality. To date, we found violations not only in Moscow, but also in Moscow, Vladimir-Skoy, Pskov regions.
- Punishment - a fine to half a million rubles. Not bad admission to the budget, in my opinion, but, apparently, this amount is not enough to scare unscrupulous manufacturers and tankers. In addition, in my memory, no gas stations have not detected licenses on the fact of violations identified. So that the owners of the refueling fasteners stop to see the people, it is necessary to make changes in legislation. First, the government must keep more serious work with its control bodies. Secondly, it is necessary to introduce higher penalties that would significantly beat the pocket of both unclean producers and refueling owners.Name - not a guarantee
While the government will think how to change the legislation that we, ordinary people, do? How to understand that at refueling I was not allowed gasoline or his quality leaves much to be desired?
Some car enthusiasts can already be understood that with quality not everything. But not all, of course, such docks. Therefore, keep track of fuel consumption. When the tank has no, the flow rate increases. Even an inexperienced driver will understand. Playing on the same station, always keep checks. If you have a car after another refueling, you can safely show a claim for a car malfunction. As for the underwent, try to always refuel the full tank - it's easier to notice. Obviously, you were deceived if you have a 50 liter tank, and you were poured 60.
And the name of refueling is the guarantor of quality? The promoted brands are better than minor, not known to anyone?
Do not really trust anyone. I will give you a specific example. During the expedition from Vladivostok to Crimea, I asked the Council from local roads about where it was better to refuel. In some regions, I strongly recommended not to deal with large-famous K-Weps. According to local, many brand gas stations are not at all refueling this brand and sell B-Ensin a completely different brand.
Each manufacturer of automotive "combustion" assures us in the fact that its fuel is the most qualitative and refueling its iron horses should be on their branded gas stations. In fact, everything is different, but to understand what gas stations are the highest quality gasoline, often only a driver with experience will be able to. But even it often helps the rating of the gas station of Moscow and other cities of Russia.
Why it is worth refilling cars with high-quality gasoline
Many drivers do not attach great importance to such a factor as the quality of gasoline, which they refuel their cars. But the consequences of poor fuel quality can be the most different:
- there are problems with the launch of the motor;
- failure of the spark plug;
- the aggregates of the fuel system are damaged.
In addition, other malfunctions may occur. It all depends on how long the machine was refueling with low quality fuel, and which was its composition.
How the quality of gasoline is determined
Unfortunately, in Moscow and other cities of the country, the situation with the quality of gasoline remains deplorable over the years. Drivers frankly deceive even on branded gas stations, not to mention little-known minor refills.
We are accustomed to the quality of gasoline is determined by the following indicators:
- octane number;
- the number of additives and foreign substances;
- fractional indicators.
At first glance, everything is clear with octane. It is 80, 92, 95, 98 or a higher quality indicator corresponding to the Eurostandard, that is, gasoline with the prefix "Euro". However, due to the various additives, the octane number of gasoline is increased by artificially, from Ai 92 due to special additives can be easily made AI 95 and so on. But the quality of this fuel will be lower than mixtures with an octane number of 95 from the responsible manufacturer. It is especially important that the manufacturer enjoys.
The number of third-party substances is another problem of domestic gas stations. It can be: acids, organic substances, alkali, garbage, water and much more. This fuel causes significant damage to the power system.
The temperature of gasoline evaporation depends on the fractional composition, the engine operation in various conditions, its service life. This indicator does not always correspond to the norm on little-known filling stations, which cannot be said about large gas station networks.
It is possible to determine all these indicators in the laboratory conditions, but not all drivers go to this measure to find out where to refuel your car.
Where is the low quality gasoline
Despite the fact that expensive brand refills enjoy a good reputation, sometimes low-quality fuel meets and they. Therefore, a logical question arises: where does the bad gasoline come from and why in Russia it is so much? There are several reasons for this:
So on what gas stations to refuel cars in Moscow and other cities of the country?
Ranking of Russian gas station
So at what gas stations is the best gasoline? What trademarks of petroleum products should trust their cars? To understand this issue, you should browse the gas station rating in the quality of gasoline 2015-2016.
10th place - mtk
And it is despite the fact that in the ranking of the gas station of Russia MTK - while the only network of gas station controlled by the Government of Moscow. Gasoline and diesel fuel meet the Euro 4 standard, pass the strictest quality control in the laboratory. This fuel is environmentally friendly. Along with this, prices at MTC refueling are the most affordable in the capital.
9th place - Tatneft
It is among the ten leaders among the country's dressing. One of the advantages of the network is that they can be easily found throughout Russia. For example, to meet on the track because of the Tatneft is easier than the shell point. Products supplied at gas stations are made by the Moscow Oil Refinery. Fuel quality is carefully controlled in factory laboratories. In the manufacture of fuel, only those additives that really increase the quality of the mixture and provide good operation of the motor maximum long time limit. As practice shows, non-refilling stations Tatneft practically does not happen to be discolive and replacing gasoline brands. 
8th place - Faithon Aero
Unlike the two previous gasoline brands, Aero Faeton is products supplied to the gas stations at once by three manufacturers. It:
- CJSC RUTEK.
- LLC "For Kirishinefteorgsintez".
- LLC "Tekhnohim".
7th place - Sibneft
The oil company Sibneft has a powerful technical base that allows producing raw materials at a more significant depth compared with the main competitors. The company began its activities in the Tomsk region, but in a short period of time quickly expanded the sales area. Today, Sibneft gas stations are located in almost all regions of Russia.
