English term or phrase: automative gasoil(s)
[Electrostatic ignition risks during loading operations; Conductivity]
Electrostatic ignition incidents may occur when loading low sulphur into road and rail tankers. Low sulphur automotive gasoils present a significant higher risk than other products. There is no evidence of increased risk with other low sulphur products such as pure chemicals, solvents or gasolines, so the scope of extra precations for low sulphur products is confined to middle distillates.

I think Jose should give us a suggestion for the full sentence instead of changing his comment every 5 minutes.
Of course I may be wrong in my response, but I find those comments confusing and (perhaps) misleading.

In my polytechnical dictionary, \"gasoil\" stands for \"gasoil/gasóleo\", while \"gasoline\" stands for \"gasolina\". Of course, it may very well be that the original text is wrong regarding the ignition risks of low sulphur compounds, while the text Jose cites is right.

However, I am really not so concerned about the text being right or wrong, but about the translation being right.

Finally, I believe \"middle distillates\" refers to gasoil = diesel. I attach one of many extracts I found defining this term (emphasis added):

\"Middle distillates comprise a range of products from the middle fraction of the refinery process. These products include jet fuel for aviation use, kerosene for heating and other domestic use, heating oil, an important product for domestic heating especially in Europe and the United States, and ** automotive diesel fuels ** which are in demand globally.\"

De hecho, el único uso posible aquí de \"gasolina\" sería en \"gasolinas diesel\" (nunca \"gasolinas\" a secas), aunque yo prefiero \"gasóleos de/para automoción\" como término general, y en oposición a los \"gasóleos de/para calefacción\".

agree  Patrick Regini: hey! si es correcto en españa...! viva el rey. yo estaba por decir gasolinas automotoras... pero confio en Ruben.

  -> Gracias Patrick - salvo por lo de rey... ;-)
neutral  Jose Villarroel: Based on "Petroleum Refinery Engineering" by Nelson it would mean gasoline, which does present a higher ignition risk than diesel due to TVR, refering to MSR distillates of a secondary fractioner after a main distillation column.

  -> Diesel o Gasóleo, aunque en el contexto considero que tiene mejor encaje "gasóleo de automoción". Usar "gasolina" sería una imprudencia debido a que se cita el término "gasoline" más adelante en el texto original
