For the most part all small engines require 87 octane regular. Some 2 cycle engines require 89 octane gasoline. Refer to your owners manual.
Most small engines are designed to run on regular unleaded gasoline; the higher octane premium gasoline may eventually be harmful to the engine.
Yes, may small helicopters have piston engines that use petrol (gasoline in USA )
A turbo that is specifically for use on gasoline engines (as opposed to diesel).
That's an engine that burns gasoline, to produce motion. Many car engines use gasoline as fuel.
15W-40 is the generally recommended weight to use, while the API rating MUST be CJ-4 for 2008 and newer engines, while CI-4 can be used for 2007 and older engines. You MUST use diesel oil, as oil intended for gasoline engines is not intended to withstand the higher temperatures of diesel engines.
Most small vehicles do not use diesel engines.
Most speed boats, especially with outboards, use gasoline engines. Larger vessels such as ships and commercial boats, generally use diesel. For raw power and performance, gasoline engines are still best. Big chevvy V8s are popular choice for powerboats with internal engines. Water and electrics (for the spark) do not mix well, so gas engines need to be maintained and looked after well and can be temperamental. For economy and reliability diesels are best. Which is why commercial vessels use them.
Someone who doesn't want to burn gasoline. A steam engine has the ability to use anything that will burn. Had the technology been applied to steam engines like it was to gasoline engines, we possibly would have some viable steam engine transportation today. Steam engines were less efficient than gasoline or diesel engines, that is why they are not used much today.
The modern automobile is the application of internal combustion engines to the existing carriages, that had been drawn by horses. The precursor, steam engines, were generally too large to use for personal transportation. The rise of gasoline and diesel engines made possible today's cars, trucks, and other vehicles. Other types of engines (such as small steam engines) did not prove as efficient to use. Until relatively recently, electric batteries were also not advanced enough to compete as automotive power sources.
Many small ones have gasoline engines. Most large and military helicopters have jet turbines, connected to a transmission that drives the rotor.
The jet engines used jet fuel, not gasoline as the 6 main engines did.
