Some fuel, use gasoline is vaporized in the engine and is ignited (burned) in the cylinders. Usually a spark is provided electrically thru the tip of the spark plug to start the fuel burning. This burning is very rapid, like an enclosed explosion.
Because of the fumes. Technically if you threw a match at a gallon of gasoline and could get it past the fumes the match would go out when it hit the liquid. But the match will pass through the fumes and ignite and then the gasoline will ignite and burn or explode. So an empty barrel is all fumes and therefore an explosive environment exists in the drum.
Because bunsen burners are used primarily for chemistry experiments, scientists may want flames to ignite slowly in order to properly execute their experiments. See related links for more information.
No. Chlorine gas (though deadly) is non-flammable. However, fumes from chlorine bleach are not chlorine gas. Chlorine gas is Cl2 and is deadly but does not exist in nature, it must be manufactured. Evaporating bleach (NaOCl) generally fumes off oxygen and leaves NaCl (salt). None of these elements are flammable.
The PCV or positive crankcase ventlation valve does as it is named. It will remove harmful gases from the engine. Also, you can find breather caps on the valve covers, this also helps to remove and fumes from the crankcase or engine base.
Fumes are colloidail systems (solid-air or liquid-air).
The number of spark plug in a 4-cylinder engine depends on the type of engine you have. Some engines only have four spark plugs on the intake side for the ignition of the fuel. Other engines have eight spark plugs, four on the intake side to ignite the fuel and four on the exhaust side to ignite the exhaust fumes.
Yes, gas fumes can definitely ignite in a garage. This is especially true if your garage is packed with different appliances and tools.
No, but fumes from the battery acid can ignite with a spark.
It is not the fuel that ignites it is the fumes. Any spark or flame will ignite the fumes.
you have a V8, which has 8 pistons and needs 8 sparkplugs to ignite the gas inside that the piston pumpsAnother answerThe 2.3 L engine is a 4-cylinder engine that takes 8 spark plugs. Four are used on the intake side to ignite the fuel, and four are used on the exhaust side to iginte the vapors before they are released as exhaust fumes.
The blower should be operated a few minutes before you start the motor to vent gas fumes from engine compartment.
They malfunction or not properly maintained.
The boat could blow up. Gasoline fumes are very explosive. That is why boats are required by law to have ventilation for the engine room. If there are fumes and there is a spark from something electrical then the boat could explode. Always ventilate after fueling for at least 4 minutes, and make sure that electrical equipment on the boat is UL listed as ignition protected. That means it won't ignite any gas fumes. Always check for fumes with your nose before starting the engine.
Although cigarettes that are lit can not ignite the gas fumes, those signs are there to prevent people from lighting the cigarette, because the flame used to light it could also ignite the gas fumes.

Well I suppose that if the automobile engineer were to breath in gasoline fumes, that would be an example.
