use/application

Should I use application or use? Literal translation would be application.

Is there such thing as engine petrol? Can you please check the rest of my sentence? Thank you

Mister Micawber,

The term that you used automotive petrol - does it have any synonyms?

I confess that I coined the phrase, Antonia. According to one online source, vehicle fuel is divided into: motor gasoline, distillate (diesel) fuel, and jet fuel. There are probably alternatives, not least the BrE petrol for AmE gasoline.
