What is a gasoline engine?
That's an engine that burns gasoline, to produce motion. Many car engines use gasoline as fuel.
Will your car run on diesel fuel?
only if it has a diesel engine. A gasoline engine will not run properly on diesel fuel.
What source of thermal energy does a car's engine use?
The combustion of gasoline or diesel fuel
When does gasoline gives off energy?
gasoline is a fuel. It produces energy when the fuel is burned. In your car the spark makes tiny explosions which drive engine pistons up and down, thus moving your car.
What fuel is used in a car?
Unleaded Gasoline, Diesel, Ethanol, or Natural Gas depending on the engine.
Why do you put gas in a car?
Gasoline (gas) is the liquid fuel that provides the energy for the car. It is combusted (explosively burned) in the engine cylinders.
What does gasoline go through in a car?
From the tank, gasoline goes through the fuel line, fuel pump and fuel filter brfore entering the engine. In a fuel-injected engine, it then goes directly to the injectors and gets injected into the cylinder. In a carburated engine, the fuel goes through the carburator, then the intake, and passes through the intake valve into the cylinder.
When gasoline is burned in a car engine and the car moveswhat energy is generated?
The chemical energy (the fuel) turns into kinetic energy (the car moving) and heat energy(given off by burning fuel).
What happens if you put petroleum gas into a car?
If it is a car which has an engine that runs on regular gasoline (gas or petrol), and as long as its engine doesn't need the "high octane" type of gasoline - such as certain sports cars - then it should run just fine!But if the car has a diesel engine, you risk causing a lot of damage if you put gasoline fuel into the tank instead of diesel fuel... If that is what you were asking about, please see the answers to the Related Questions shown below.
How long does it take for your car to break down if you put diesel in it?
If it is a car that has a diesel engine, it won't break down...But if the car has a gasoline engine, you risk causing a lot of damage if you put diesel fuel into the tank instead of gasoline (aka gas or petrol) fuel... If that is what you were asking about, please see the answers to the Related Questions shown below.
What is octane number of a fuel?
Many car engines run on gasoline. If the octane is low, the engine will knock. If it is high, the engine will not knock, which means that sometimes it will make a knocking sound as you drive along. It also might keep running when you turn off the key to the car. With high octane, the engine also starts easier. It is more expensive to make high octane fuel. Lower octane fuel gets better milage. There are two organic chemicals: isooctane and heptane. Isooctane is a good fuel for cars. It is rated at 100 octane. Heptane is a bad fuel for cars. It is rated at zero octane. When gasoline is made, they need to make a certain octane. They put the gasoline in a car engine. They then run the car with a mixture of isooctane and heptane. They find the mixture that matches the batch of gasoline. That is the octane rating of the new batch of gasoline.
What is chemical energy converted in a car?
The chemical energy is stored in the fuel, ie gasoline or diesel, and released when it is burned in the engine.
