What are liquid fuels?

Answer 1

Crude oil

Answer 2

Gasoline runs the engines of our cars. Lots of energy used up getting gasoline from crude oil.

Aviation gasoline is an even higher energy gasoline for airplane engines. Number one in energy per unit mass (racing fuels excepted).

Diesel fuel is similar to gasoline but tailored for diesel engines where compression is much higher. With some adjustment, diesel engines can burn almost any liquid fuel, including mineral, animal, and vegetable oils.

Heating oil is created from crude oil for burning in heating furnaces.

Kerosene is a little down on the specific energy scale. Good for uses such as space heaters and paint solvents. Paint stores also carry such as turpentine and mineral spirits which burn nicely.

Propane drives barbecues and torches.

Butane runs certain lighters and lighter fluid runs other lighters (such as Zippos).

The alcohols (methyl/ethyl/iso-propyl) run alcohol lamps.

Under enough pressure gases such as methane (natural gas), can be liquefied (LNG - Liquid Natural Gas) but it is a stretch to call this a liquid fuel.

There are jelled products such as Sterno, but calling this a liquid is a stretch.

Chemicals which burn include acetone, also called methyl-ethyl-ketone and sold as nail polish remover. Handle with care it burns fiercely as does di-methyl-ketone (DMK), Benzene, methyl-isobutyl-carbonyl (MIBC), and divers others, but these are not general found in the daily life purview, except for acetone.

Finally there are racing fuels such as nitro-methane, but this does not meet the daily life test.
