Heptane is an organic chemical, specifically an alkane, with formula C7H16. Heptane has nine isomers. The n-heptane has by definition the octane rating 0, so it is undesirable in petrol (US:gasoline), because it burns in a way that often causes engine knocking, as opposed to octane, which delivers better performance.
