UGazolo

isivuthisi esiwuketshezi esithathwe kumafuthetshe

UGazolo (elibuya kwelithi Gasoline) liwuketshezi oluntwentwe, ogqamukayo othathwe kumafuthetshe ngokuyinhloko osetshenziswa njengesivuthisi (fuel) phakathi kwezilumbamdiki ezivutha ngokuthungela inhlansi ngaphakathi (zibizwa izilumbamdiki zogazolo). Uqukethe ikakhulu imixube yemvelo etholwe ngokuthontisa (distillation) ingcosana yamafuthetshe, egunywe yezijotshelelwa ezinhlobonhlobo. Ngokwesilinganiso, izincakuzi (refineries) zaseMelika zikhiqiza, kumphongolo wamafutha angahluziwe, amagalani ayi-19 kuya kuma-20 ogazolo; 11 kuya ku-13 lamagalani esivuthisi esithontisiwe (iningi elithengiswa njengesivuthisi esiwudizili); kanye namagalani amathathu kuya kwamane esivuthisi zomzoyizelo (jet fuel). Iqhatho lomkhiqizo lincike ekudidiyeleni kwezincakuzi zamafutha nasemgangathweni wamafutha angahluziwe. Umphongolo wamafutha uchasiswa njengothwala amagalani aseMelika angama-42, okungaba amalitha ayi-159.
