Benzol

A crude form of benzene, containing toluene, xylene, and other hydrocarbons, obtained from coal tar or coal gas and used as a fuel.

Benzyne has a 1:1 carbon to hydrogen ratio. The basic meaning of Benzol is a coal tar product. The two main ingredients are toulene and benzene. It used to be mixed with petrol and sold as fuel. some languages provide for confusion among benzol: sometimes benzol is translated to benzene. History of National Benzole national benzole company was formed in england in 1919. it was made to sell motor benzol, a product of coal carbonisation. As i said above it, it was blended with petrol as National Benzole mixture. In the 1950s there were over 255 benzole plants associated with gas works or the steel industry. as coking fuel went down, benzole production fell and in 1957 National Benzole was bought by shell-mex & bp ltd. N.B. was help as an independent brand and merged with power petroleum, bought in 1934. The Benzole was downplayed in the late 1960s as natural gas replaced town gas and National products sold by over 4650 garages became petrol. When shell and bp seperated in the 1970 about 40% of the National stations switched to Shell, but the brand was kept by BP in England only; between 1981 and 1988 the name was slowly replaced by BP. However in 1992 the Scottish independent NEF reintroduced the brand under licence from BP and in the following decade it was used at over 100 small filling stations across the UK supplied by BP authorised distributors (jobbers). When BP decided to sell its wholesale activities, some of the National stations ended up under Texaco's control, but these supply contracts were later sold to Ireland's DCC and by 2010 the name was only used at service stations on the Scottish Islands, where it has a near monopoly.
