Those liquids are combustable, when atomized and mixed with air in the right proportions and a spark is added the mixture will explode, the internal combustion engine contains this blast, and uses it to create motion.

Diesel engines don't use spark to ignite the fuel mixture. Diesel engines use high compression to ignite the fuel mixture.

In which country is diesel made?

While diesel fuel is commonly made from petroleum, there are also non-petroleum alternatives. These alternatives include biodiesel, GTL diesel, and BTL diesel.


What vehicles can you biodiesel?

Most diesel-powered vehicles can run on biodiesel without major modifications. Biodiesel is designed to be a “drop-in” replacement or blend for petroleum diesel, so it’s widely compatible. ✅ Vehicles that can use biodiesel: Cars and SUVs with diesel engines (for example, many models from Mahindra, Tata, Ford, and Volkswagen). Commercial trucks and buses, which often benefit the most because of high fuel consumption. Agricultural machinery such as tractors, harvesters, and irrigation pumps. Construction equipment like excavators, loaders, and cranes. Marine engines used in boats and ferries. Generators and other stationary diesel engines. 📌 How it works: Blends like B5 or B20 (5% or 20% biodiesel mixed with diesel) are commonly used and safe for most engines. Pure biodiesel (B100) can be used in many modern diesel engines, but older engines may need rubber seals or hoses upgraded to prevent wear. 🌱 The advantage is that biodiesel reduces emissions, is biodegradable, and often improves engine lubrication. In India, companies such as My IndiFuels make biodiesel accessible through pumps, dealerships, and bulk delivery for transport fleets. 👉 In short: If a vehicle runs on diesel, there’s a good chance it can run on biodiesel too—either as a blend or even fully, depending on the engine and manufacturer guidelines.


Where do you get biodiesel?

You often only find biodiesel in the Midwest or areas where corn is a big market. Biodiesel is made out of corn and that's why. Biodiesel will make your diesel engine get better gas mileage just so you know.


Why don't more people use biodiesel in their diesel trucks?

It would be great if more people used biodiesel in the diesel trucks! However, at least in Michigan, you can not legally sell the biodiesel you make at home and many people do not want to put the time and effort into making it themselves. There are a few negatives to using biodiesel in diesel trucks. First, there is limited availability of biodiesel fuel. Next, the cost is much higher for biodiesel. Also, fuel economy is off by at least 10%. Additionally, biodiesel may be a concern in cold weather and in older vehicles.


Would it harm a diesel engine if you combined regular diesel with bio diesel?

Factory-made biodiesel is sold as "B-such-and-such." The most common is B20. The number is the percentage of biodiesel in the mix--the rest is petroleum diesel. Answer: it works fine, go for it. As long as the bio diesel is clean and doesn't have water in it. it should be fine. Use caution with the home brew, filter it good and don't run more than 20% bio diesel below freezing without tank heaters it gells way too easy. There are several different types of bio diesel, make sure the kind you are going to use will work in in a factory fuel system or if you will need a kit installed on your vehicle to properly burn the fuel. Also, adding on to his answer, the first time you use the biodiesel you might want to change your fuel filter. The biodiesel will clean out your gas tank and may clog up your filter.


How expensive is biodiesel?

Usually it's about the same price as regular diesel, unless you make it yourself, in which case it's about 90 cents a gallon (assuming you can get a few restaurant owners to give you used cooking oil), and you don't consider time and the base cost of the processor.


Does soybeans make fuel?

You can try using corn oil for biodiesel. Corn oil is used for cooking and used cooking oil is used for diesel fuel. Actually, the process of cooking with oil performs the same process on the corn oil as crackling does in an oil refinery. Thus, it would be possible to take corn oil and mix it with petroleum in a refinery and create diesel fuel.


How do you make black diesel?

Black diesel, often referred to as biodiesel or waste vegetable oil diesel, is made by converting used cooking oil or animal fats into a usable fuel. The process involves filtering the oil to remove food particles, then mixing it with methanol and a catalyst (usually sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide) to facilitate a chemical reaction called transesterification. This reaction separates the glycerin from the fatty acids, resulting in biodiesel and glycerin byproducts. The biodiesel can then be used directly in diesel engines or blended with regular diesel fuel.

Are diesel cars better than hybrid cars?

No. Diesel cars are pollutive and the price of diesel is very expensive. many people do not like diesels at all because of the cost of fuel and the noise the car will make.
