The concept of crude oil (petroleum), its composition and principal refining processes. The concepts of fuel and engine fuel. The concept of "petrol" (in US "gasoline") and the variety of kinds associated. General features, composition and production of motor petrols. Requirements to modern motor petrols, numerical quality measures and methods of their determination.
EVS-EN 228 : 2002 and quality requirements to liquid fuels in Estonia. Commercial petrols available in Estonia. Diesel fuels - concept, classification and composition. Requirements to modern diesel fuels, properties, numerical quality measures and methods of their determination.
EVS-EN 590 : 2002. Diesel fuels available in Estonia. Jet fuels. Additives to engine fuels.
The law of Estonia on liquid fuels. The worldwide accepted quality levels of engine fuels.
Alternative fuels for internal-combustion engines. The role of engine fuels in environmental pollution and measures for its restriction.
In laboratory works the students shall determine the main properties of motor petrols and diesel fuels. Basic knowledge on safety requirements to be observed will be delivered.

The aim of the course is to give knowledge of the composition of engine fuels, the variety of fuels and the right selection of fuels.

The student who has mastered the course is able to use economically the fossil fuels and alternative engine fuels that are in accordance with modern requirements.

In the assessment is used formative and summative evaluation. The assessment is a prerequisite for participation in lectures, seminars and laboratory work and the development of student during the process, in terms of the interim work (tests, laboratory work and seminar presentations) and in the assessment of exam performed at the end of the learning process. Evaluation methods are the tests, course papers, seminars presentations, debates, analyses and exam.
