Why is an empty gasoline drum more dangerous than a full one?
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.
Does gasoline have chemicals?
Yes, gasoline is a mixture of various hydrocarbon compounds, such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene, which are collectively known as BTEX compounds. It also contains additives like detergents and antioxidants. These chemicals give gasoline its characteristic properties and allow it to function as a fuel for internal combustion engines.
Can you die from gasoline if you drink it?
Depending on the amount, drinking gasoline can cause death.
How can plants cause chemical?
Plants are made from chemicals and they release chemicals.
Does frozen gas burn?
This is dangerous and will damage the lighter. Lighter fluid is made of naptha, the traditional dry cleaning fluid. It is highly flammable, but is not a gasoline product. The two are made by different processes. Fill your lighter with the reccommended product to prolong the life of the lighter.
Why should smoking be prohibited in a gasoline station?
Because a spark could potentially ignite gasoline, and cause a catastrophic explosion.
What is the lowest temperature gasoline can ignite?
Typically the lowest temperature that gasoline will produce enough vapors to ignite at is -40 degrees Fahrenheit.
Which are the two most toxic chemicals used in petrol that cause brain damage and leukemia?
Gasoline and Lead
Why does gasoline ignite?
Gasoline ignites because gasoline is flammable. (simple answer) A more detailed answer would be. Gasoline produces flammable vapors at a much lower temperature than almost any other 'common' chemical. It is the vapors that ignite rather than the chemical itself. Also Gasoline vapors are heavier than air. Any 'Flammable' chemical will ignite in the presence of an open flame or spark if there are sufficient fumes.
Why do diesel engines ignite even though they have no spark plugs to ignite this mixture?
Compression and heat. The fuel/air mixture is compressed to such a high level as to get hot enough to cause the mixture to self ignite. Gas engines require a spark to ignite the fuel. Gasoline engines have a compression ratio of 8:1 to 12:1. Diesel engines have a compression ratio of 14:1 to 25:1.
Why is static electricity not a useful power source?
Because it can cause things to ignite.
Is it harder to ignite a lower or higher-octane gasoline?
It is harder to ignite higher octane gasoline - the octane rating expresses the compound's resistance to pre-ignition (often called "ping") Low octane fuels tend to 'ping' more than high octane fuels because they ignite more easily.
What happens when you mix gasoline in radiator?
Gasoline doesn't go in a radiator. Radiator is used to cool a 200+ degree engine block. If mixed the better question is at what temperature does gasoline ignite.
What minerals are in gasoline?
Gasoline often contains a variety of different chemicals or substances. Some of these chemicals include carbon, naphtha, benzene, toluene, and xylene.
Can gasoline leaking onto car engine ignite?
Yes. All the gasoline needs is a source of ignition like a wayward spark from a spark plug wire.
How do you adjust timing on a 1990 Nissan d21?
Pour 5 gallons of gasoline in engine bay. Strike match and ignite gasoline. Presto! All fixed!
Why the cars which run on petrol cant be run with diesel?
Petrol engines use a spark plug to ignite the gasoline. Diesels on the other hand use compression to ignite the fuel. Diesel engines have a very high compression ratio that causes the fuel to ignite under pressure. Gasoline engine do not run near the compression as a diesel. Put diesel in a gasoline engine and it simply will not run. Reason being is that diesel fuel has a much higher flash point. Gasoline contains 4 to 12 carbon atoms, diesel has 10 to 20 carbon atoms and is much heavier than gasoline.
