Aromatic content in gasoline fuels should be limited due to its influencies to the cleaness
of engine combustion chamber and emission of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and
hidrocarbon. Ussually the highest aromatic content mean more higher its benzene content
and it will couse increase of air pullotion. According to specification of gasoline 91(SK
No. 3674 k/24/DJM/2006), maximum aromatic content is 50 % volume. Those specification
conform to catagory 1 of World Wide Fuel Charter (WWFC). However, aromatic and benzene
content test on domestic gasoline in Indonesia obviously fulfil maximum limit for gasoline
catagory 2 of WWCF. Effect of several volume variaties of aromatic content in gasoline
91 againts deposit development and cleaness (rating) of engine combution chamber
will be discuss in this paper.
