Charly Boy, a renowned singer and
entertainer recently shed light on why the fuel
produced by Dangote’s refinery has a
distinctive pure white color.
According to him, the fuel’s clarity is due to its
refining process, which utilizes ethanol,
making it an optimal choice for engines.
Charly Boy explained on his X account on
Thursday that ethanol-refined fuel contains a
high oxygen content, which reduces engine
carbonation and consequently decreases air
pollution in the form of carbon dioxide.
He further elaborated on the colour coding of
fuel types, stating that red indicates added
octane, green signifies high octane content,
yellow denotes unleaded fuel, and clear fuel,
like Dangote’s, indicates ethanol refining.
He wrote, Why Dangote fuel is white,” Charly
Boy wrote: “Reason why the PMS is pure like
water. Petrol has different colours, when it’s
Red that means Octane was added.
“When it’s slightly Green then Octane is
slightly very much. When is Yellow it means it
has no lead in it. That means it’s unleaded.
But when it’s clear as water as seen in the
video then you should know that ethanol was
used. What ethanol does is that it improves
engine efficiency and power.
“Because ethanol has a good amount of
oxygen it lessens the amount of carbonation
in engines thereby reducing air pollution which
comes as Carbon dioxide. So this is the best
form of Petrol. Congratulations Dangote.”
