oil to petrol temps

751.7 freedomheit...best Temp System? I dont Think so...maybe for room temperature. it was made around human perception of temperature, Celsius or Kelvin are much more scientific and rooted in scientific concepts of freezing water and boiling temperature of water or the ''motion'' of atoms

Agreed is not best or worst.. is only different scale of measurement, the temperature is the same. 

When it comes to common everyday events in average people's lives, F is better.  Describing the weather, cooking, medical purposes...  these things are easier to understand, and differentiate from each other, when using F.

For all other purposes, C and K are much better suited.

Fahrenheit is of course metric, along with pounds shillings pence and feet.

That new spangled imperial system makes no sense at all to me, no logical manner to any of it.

To be fair, Farenheit is absolute bollocks in describing any situation.  For a nation to spend millions/billions $$$ on a mission to Mars, only to miss the planet due to use of imperial units.  You have no grounds what so ever to say that the Imperial system has any use what so ever.

Quite literally, I do not relate to ANY Farenheit temperature and neither do I want to and neither to I make any attempt to.

can someone tell me at what temperature oil will turn into petrol please?

Thanks.

It's actually a good question. And the answers above are all incorrect. The actual temperature oil transforms to petroleum is 403C exactly.

Will it break pipes at that temperature and will I get petrol out of the pipe instead of oil?

It will break pipes at that exact temperature. Phase change cannot happen inside pipes. The phase change will always happen when a gas or liquid exits a vent.
Note that if flow is less than 10% of the pipe capacity pipes do not take damage and break from phase change.
Also note that this means you can heat up or cool down liquids past it's evaporation/condensation points when having less than 10% of pipe capacity flow but as long as you heat up or cool down the gas/liquid back again it will not phase change when exiting a vent.

While I do agree that the Imperial system is terrible in just about every way I still kind of prefer Fahrenheit over Celcius just because of on a human scale it does make a lot more sense, the living conditions for an average human sit between 0F and 100F. However, I do conclude that Fahrenheit is awful for math (as is anything in the Imperial system) Celcius and Kelvin are a much better fit for that role, Kelvin being the better of the two for that. I'd also say that my biggest bias with it is that I grew up around it so my preference probably just mostly chalks up to that.
