Why is crude oil useless?

Crude oil, which is heated by pressure deep underground, is a thick, sludgy tar on the surface. It gives off volatile gases as a pungent smell. Fractional distillation removes many valuable organic chemicals from petroleum, which are used for fuel, lubrication, fertilizer, plastics, and liquid gases.


Why are bicycles painted?

The gears and chain of a bicycle are extremely high wear parts. Paint would easily flake off of these parts. This is why they are typically not painted, and even when they are, like a painted BMX front sprocket, you'll find that where the chainring and chain make contact, the surface is unpainted.

How can you tell whether a surface is painted with oil paint?

If you're trying to determine if a surface is painted with either oil or latex paint, wipe the surface with a rag moistened with denatured alcohol. It has to be denatured. Not rubbing and not Captain Morgan. Denatured. If the paint transfers to the rag, then it's latex. If nothing transfers over, or it just cleans off the chalked paint on the surface, then it is most likely an oil based paint. If you don't have denatured alcohol, you can use Xylene; however, this could cause the oil based paint to crinkle.


How can you tell if a room was previously painted with oil-based paint or latex paint?

Any paint and decorating store should have little pads (like wet-wipes) that you rub onto the painted surface. Whether or not the paint rubs off will tell you what kind of paint was originally used.


What is a friable surface in painting n decorating?

Friable means to be easily crumbled into a powder. A friable surface in painting would indicate that it is chalky or peeling in such a way that the paint will not adhere to the substrate. You need to remove/clean the friable surface appropriately or you will find that the paint sticks to the decomposing surface and not to the underlying item that is expected to be painted. In a short period of time the new coating will begin to flake off.

Can diesel and crude diesel be mixed and legally run on the highway?

Crude oil is not diesel fuel - it is crude oil, and you really do not want to run this through your engine. Pre-EPA2010 diesels and off-highway diesels are able to run off waste oil if so desired, but this requires pre-heating and straining of the oil (and this is oil which is already processed, not crude oil). Aside from that, such a mixture wouldn't be legal for any on-highway applications.
