How do you refine crude oil into gasoline if you have some laying around your property?

As it happens, and despite the answer above, you can.


However, the process that does what you want was developed way back in the 1890's. The microscopic scale was then upped to the size we see today in modern refineries.


Catalysts are expensive, and perform a specific job in the cracking towers. If you were able to control the heating and the temperature in a small tower, then you could, indeed produce gasoline; not much, an egg cup full at most.


Dr AntonyHow do you refine crude oil into gasoline if you have some laying around your property?
You don't





You need catalytic crackers and separating towers.


It's a major industrial process, not easily replicated on a small scale.
