1.1 This test method provides for the determination of benzene and toluene in finished motor and aviation gasolines by gas chromatography.
1.2 Benzene can be determined between the levels of 0.1 and 5 volume% and toluene can be determined between the levels of 2 and 20 volume%.
1.3 The precision for this test method was determined using conventional gasoline as well as gasolines containing oxygenates (ethers such as methyl tert-butyl ether, ethyl tert-butylether and tert-amylmethylether.
1.4 It has been determined that this test method is not applicable to gasolines containing ethanol. Methanol may also cause interference.
1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. Values given in parentheses are provided for information only.
