      S fractions from a gasoline synthesized from CO and H2 in the presence of a fluidized Fe catalyst of the synthetic NH3 type at about 600° F. were percolated through silica gel.  Each fraction was broken down into 4 types:  Paraffins, olefins, aromatics, and oxygenated compounds.  Some additional information was obtained on the character of the gasoline fractions.  40-50% by volume of the C5, C6, and C7 fractions consist of straight-chain 1-olefins.  15 different aromatic compounds were identified as being present in the 1st 6 fractions.  Evidence is fairly conclusive that small amounts of diolefins exist in most of the fractions.
