I can't explain it but if you go to www.howstuffworks.com, that might help.

As Petroleum processing is nothing but refining Crude Oil in stages,that is mostly concerned with Distillation.Chemistry plays its main role providing details like boiling point,density,viscosity and other physical properties of the individual compounds which is extracted separately at each level of distillation column, though the process is chemical engineering.

there are different type of pumps but basically the pump is rotated by motor. fuel flows into the pump and by pump's rotation, its outflow will have higher velocity.

There are 42 gallons / barrel of crude oil. (That's about 159 liters) The conversion to gasoline depends upon several factors -- refining efficiency, product mix desired by the refiner, quality of the crude to name a few. The following sites provide\nadditional info.\n\n http://www.petroleum.org/petrokids/petroperbbl.htm\nhttp://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/gen99/gen99675.htm\n\nVince Calder\n=====================================================\nA barrel contains 42 gallons.  After refining, it makes about 19.5 gallons of gasoline in addition to numerous other products such as heating oil..\n\nIf you can get to the web,\nhttp://www.petroleum.org/petrokids/petroperbbl.htm\nhas many interesting numbers related to your question.\n\nBest, Dick Plano, Professor of Physics emeritus, Rutgers University

Most gas from oil wells is at very low pressure and must be compressed and treated before it can be sold. If the compressor or treating facility is under repair, sometimes the gas is burned until the facility can be restarted. Other times the gas pipeline may shutdown and it takes a while to shutdown the gas compression

According to the Department of Energy, a 42 gallon barrel of crude oil produces actually 44 gallons worth of petroleum products, since refined petroleum reduces density and fills greater volume.  For every barrel that enters the United States, about 19.7 gallons of gasoline are produced.  The rest of the barrel is used, just for other petroleum-based products.

Been out of the industry for a little while now so cant give you precise figures, but what I can tell you is that North Sea crude is pretty much specialised and is virtually all exported.\n\nThe UK exchequer sells our crude for more than we pay to import generally.\n\nIt is not the type of crude which lends itself to petrol production either.\n\nIt was also pretty badly drilled at the time which means that whilst there is actually quite a lot left, most of it will be to difficult and expensive to be extracted, so the supply is diminishing quickly.

I'm not sure your question makes sense.  Did you mean gas?  Gasoline reacts with oxygen to make lots of energy.  Water just dissolves a little oxygen.  You'll have to study chemistry if you want more detail.

42 gallons of crude oil in a barrel. It yields slightly more than 21-22 gallons of gasoline, based on 51.4% (the amount of finished gasoline created from one barrel of oil).\n\nGood question, BTW.

Probably zero. Oil pumping does cause subsidence in some areas. This means that the surface of the ground slowly sinks. Terminal Island in the middle of Los Angeles/Long Beach Harbor has dropped almost 25 feet because of oil  and water pumping  and they had to build dikes around it to keep the sea out.\n\nMost of the time when oil is removed from rock it is naturally replaced by water and there is no empty space left behind. The spaces that oil comes out of are very small pores in rock like sandstone and limestone. Try pouring water on a piece of sandstone and you will see it soaks in; these are the pores that can hold oil. The natural strength of the rock prevents any sort of collapse and water fills the spaces as the oil is pumped out. In fact in most oil reservoirs the pressure created by the water is what "drives" the oil out of the rock and into the well..

Crude oil is composed of a mix of molecules composed of hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen atoms in many different forms. These can range from simple compounds like methane (CH4) or ethane (C2H6) to long complicated molecules such as paraffins like C8H18, also known as octane that is used to rate motor fuels. \n\nThe initial source of the crude oil is the accumulation of the dead bodies of phytoplankton and zooplankton which are microscopic plants and animals that live in the sea and fresh water lakes. Adding to this organic matter that accumulates on the sea floor is the material that is carried into the ocean by rivers, such as pollen, spores, and plant material. To be preserved, all of this organic matter must fall into a zone of the water that is low in oxygen, otherwise it will decay rather than be preserved. Mud and silt coming from rivers will often bury this material before it can be consumed by living organisms. Near the mouths of rivers there are often rapid rates of deposition of mud and silt that will bury organic material, and over time it may be buried by several miles of sediment. For example, the Mississippi River Delta, which is a prolific oil producing area, has deposited sediments several miles thick over the last 66 million years. \n\nAs these deposits of organic matter are buried deeper and deeper they begin to warm from the heat of the earth's interior. When they reach a temperature of about 140 degrees F, they begin to undergo "catagenesis" which is a molecular change that makes oil. If they reach a temperature of about 250 degree F, they will begin to form more natural gas than oil. If they get too hot it is possible to change them to graphite, and no oil or gas will be produced. \n\nIn other types of depositional environments the plants and animals that become oil also form the rock. Carbonate mudstone (which is simply a type of limestone) of the Hanifa Formation in the Middle East formed much of the oil in Saudi Arabia. These carbonate mudstones  are composed of huge accumulations of lime muds made from the breakdown of marine algaes and other organisms. These deposits of the remains of marine organisms also must undergo burial and and heating by the deep earth to generate oil and gas. \n\nSo when you burn oil, you are really burning solar energy that was stored by plants and animals thousands or millions of years ago and buried in the earth. \n\nEvery time I answer this question someone comes along and points out that there may be oil that is not from living organisms. Thomas Gold, a respected physicist at Cornell proposed that oil may be abiotic; that is just another type of deposit of the earth. This may in fact be possible, but if it is, it is likely to be a very minor source of the oil on Earth. The reasons are complicated, but the fact that the rocks where Gold predicted this abiotic oil should be found do not contain oil is pretty conclusive proof that this type of oil is not significant, if it exists at all. \n\nHere is my previous answer to this question:\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AqkzP9amgCudYabOz20w2YIjzKIX?qid=1006022109950

gasoline is obtained from the fractional distillation of crude oil.  It is therefore a hydrocarbon.  It is evaporated and mixed with air and forced into the cylinder where it burns.  When the C--C and C--H bonds are broken, energy is required but then more eneryg (than is required to break these bonds) are given off on the formation of H--OH (water) and O--C--O (carbon dioxide)bonds.  This is the thermal energy that causes the burned gas in the cylinder to expand thus forcing the piston away from the spark-plug end, causing the engine to "run"

through a process called "Cracking"\nthis is when you take a larger molecule and crack it into smaller more volatile molecules\nthey use this in oil refineries to turn crude oil into more valuable products

It takes seven gallons of crude oil to produce one car tire.\n\nIt takes 3.6 billion gallons of crude oil to produce tires for all of the cars in the U.S.
