it should explode if the mixture is right to little fuel it does no do much to much it mostly burns if nothing happens u have a problem.

Where does the word diesel come from?
'Diesel' comes the German engineer, Rudoplf Diesel. Diesel invented an internal combustion engine that would auto ignite, when the fuel vapours were compressed to a high degree. This increased the temperature of the vapour to the point were it would auto ignite. The fuel that he used was slightly different from petrol, which needed an electrical spark to ignite. This slightly different fuel is now known as 'Diesel'.
What elements make up gunpowder?
tree elements.a nitrate, typically potassium nitrate (KNO3), which supplies oxygen for the reaction;charcoal, which provides carbon and other fuel for the reaction, simplified as carbon (C);sulfur (S), which, while also serving as a fuel, lowers the temperature required to ignite the mixture, thereby increasing the rate of combustion.
What temperature does gunpowder ignite?
Gunpowder will ignite somewhere between 300 to 350° C
Can a cold pack with ammonium nitrate explode?
In some conditions, yes; ammonium nitrate is an explosive material very unpredictable. More fully, Ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) is flammable, but it is primarily an oxidizer, giving oxygen to other burning things to allow them to burn faster, or even explode (like the Oklahoma City car bomb). It will also spontaneously ignite when mixed with certain metals and organic compounds (zinc, acetic acid). Given that, the ammmonium nitrate in an ice pack is highly purified and well-contained so that I do not worry about them spontaneously exploding, but I wouldn't throw one in a fire, either. In fact (though probably not recommended), I recycle the ammonium nitrate back to dry powder in a zip-lock ready for use with water again.
What does potassium do in water?
A violent chemical reaction: 2 K + 2 H2O = 2 KOH + H2 Potassium reacts with water to form potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The reaction is exothermic, and the heat generated can ignite the hydrogen gas to create a fire. Large quantities of potassium can react explosively in water.
What happens to a diesel car when the turbo brakes?
Depending on what you mean by breaks, if you engine is no longer pressurized the diesel will not combustion in the cylinder. Diesel has to be pressurized before it will ignite, unlike gasoline.
What happens if you put diesel in a car?
Then you get the tank dropped and drain it out, replace the fuel filter(s), and flush the fuel system. Other than that, nothing actually happens - the diesel fuel won't ignite.
What happens when diesel fuel is placed in a gasoline tractor engine?
It won't run, that's for sure. Diesel is ignited by compression pressure, not by spark. And the compression in a gasoline engine is not sufficient to ignite the diesel.
Can Diesel Fuel ignite from a flame?
Yes but only in the right conditions. If diesel is outside just on the road, for example, then no it will not ignite from a flame.
What happens when it is put in water potassium?
Potassium metal will react violently with water to form KOH and hydrogen gas. Due to the heat released by the reaction - the hydrogen gas will ignite. So: placing potassium in water will cause a fire!
What happens to potassium when it is added to water?
Solid, pure, potassium metal will react violently with water to form hydrogen gas. Often this hydrogen gas will ignite causing a flame and sometimes an explosion.
Is diesel highly inflamable?
No, diesel at room temperature will not ignite if you direct a naked flame to it.

Why do you need to bleed a diesel?
Diesel engines work in a different way to petrol in that they work on pressure to ignite warm diesel as opposed to petrol engines which have spark plugs. in order to work, there can be no air, air wont ignite!!
How can diesel be identified from petrol?
diesel vapors due not ignite like gasoline does. Also diesel has a totally different smell.
Can number 4 fuel oil be used in a diesel engine?
No #4 diesel fuel oil is for oil burners and will not ignite in a diesel egine
