Corrosiveness of gasoline is caused due to the presence of :
Answer: A
The corrosiveness of gasoline is caused by sulfur.
Sulfur compounds left from crude oil, such as hydrogen sulphide, mercaptans and free sulfur, attack metals, especially copper and its alloys in fuel systems. The copper strip corrosion test measures this, and fuel standards limit sulfur content partly for this reason.
Water can cause rusting in tanks but is not a constituent responsible for the corrosiveness of the fuel itself, chloride is not a normal gasoline component, and lead (as tetraethyl lead) was an anti-knock additive.
